Anyone have any idea why Percocet (meaning generically oxycodone with acetaminophen) versus Percodan (oxycodone with aspirin)? The only difference is which NSAID is combined with oxy. It seems like in some ways Percodan would be better, since APAP is in so many things and we’ve come to know it’s quite toxic. I mean, many formulations of Percocet were banned by the FDA several years ago (anything with 500 or 750 mg of APAP per pill, can only be 325 now), but I haven’t heard the same things about aspirin (maybe it’s just not used as much...).
Anyway, obviously Roxicodone (just oxy) is better and safer, but I was just curious what happened to Percodan.
First an update on this story:
Update: I went back to the doctor with my son, somewhere around . After his appointment, I sent him out to the waiting room and told the doctor I had to talk to him pharmacist-to-prescriber, not parent-to-doctor. Told him about the patient, how he's getting too much, too often. I said I don't know if he's taking all that, or if he's dealing it in school (one of the stores in Jersey is right near my house, and there's a college nearby, so I'm guessing he's a student there), but either way it's a problem.
Doctor agrees that this is a problem. Without prompting, immediately pulls up the PMP website and takes a look.
> "Well first of all, that dose is way too high."
is the first thing he says. Gee you think?
I also showed him how to pull up the other states, where he found the other fills. He said that they don't do this kind of thing as a general practise, but that sometimes they get taken advantage of; e.g. they called and said that the store where the e-script was sent was out of it, could he resend it somewhere else? and that kind of thing.
He also hovered the mouse over the "Report suspicious activity" button and asked "I wonder what would happen if I click this?"
I told him I was thinking of clicking that myself, but didn't want to get my son's doctor in some kind of trouble. He promised he'd keep a closer eye on this guy's meds in future. New York's PMP seems to be down right now it's giving me a 502 when I check the history), so I can't check up and see, but when I looked while at the doctor's office, he seemed to be back on a more sane schedule.
Bonus story:
The guy who co-owns this store also owns some other businesses. One of these is a mail order outfit that sells OTC stuff. The office is upstairs here, but the actual business is in a warehouse in another town about 25 miles up the road.
So a couple weeks ago, we get a call from someone identifying himself as a FedEx security supervisor. He tells my tech that a package of controlled substances was delivered to our address on [date], which wasn't addressed to us, and he wants it back.
I have no damn idea what he's talking about. I wasn't there that date, but any controls that come in are checked in by whichever pharmacist happens to be on duty, and we didn't get any such thing.
I see my tech is getting agitated, so I take over the phone. He's trying to tell me that h
... keep reading on reddit ➡Why on earth does percodan have 4.8355 mg of oxycodone in it? that's an oddly precise amount to claim is in each pill. is it the chemistry of oxycodone when combined with aspirin? why not have 4.8 mg, or 4.9, or even 5? was the extra 5 micrograms dramatically better between 4.835 and 4.8355?
There is nothing enjoyable about being under the influence of alcohol, cannabis, or prescription medications such as Vicodin, Codeine, Percodan, etc. They just don't make me feel good in any way. They make me feel sick.
This is not based on moral/religious/political/sociological/legal or other form of objection, I just don't like the way these things make me feel.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
I guess the concept didn't work
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes
r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC
r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes
Punchline !
Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub
Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat
Do your worst!
How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
And now I’m cannelloni
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
And boy are my arms legs.
But that’s comparing apples to oranges
Put it on my bill
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.

My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
