pretty much anything that

pretty much anything that ends in "cet" contains APAP. "cet" is actually short for acetaminophen, and is synonymous with APAP.

other examples would be darvocet, percocet, endocet, roxicet, lorcet et cetera (no pun intended).

all thoughts and opinions expressed are those of my own and should not be mistaken for medical advice. i am not a doctor nor a pharmacist. all medical questions should be answered by a licensed pharmacist, doctor, or primary care manager.

What is the difference between roxicet and rocicodone?

The difference between roxicet and roxicodone is that roxicet contains 

Acetaminophen. Roxicodone has straight oxycodone in it, no fillers or buffers, or things to screw up your stomach.

Roxicodone also comes in the following strengths:

oxycodone 5 mg capsule
oxycodone 5 mg tablet
oxycodone hcl 10 mg er tablet
oxycodone hcl 15 mg tablet
oxycodone hcl 20 mg er tablet
oxycodone hcl 20 mg/ml sol
oxycodone hcl 30 mg tablet
oxycodone hcl 40 mg er tablet
oxycodone hcl 40 mg tab sa
oxycodone hcl 5 mg capsule
oxycodone hcl 5 mg tablet
oxycodone hcl 5 mg/5 ml sol
oxycodone hcl cr 10 mg tablet
oxycodone hcl cr 40 mg tablet
oxycodone hcl cr 80 mg tablet
oxycodone hcl er 10 mg tablet
oxycodone hcl er 20 mg tablet
oxycodone hcl er 40 mg tablet
oxycodone hcl er 80 mg tab
oxycodone hcl er 80 mg tablet

Hope that helps.

actually, that is NOT

actually, that is NOT correct.

roxicodone (at least in the u.s.) comes in three strengths; 5mg 15mg and 30mg.

additionally, roxicodone does have fillers just not the apap.

Brand Names

Phisher, what he said is definitely not correct and I agree completely with you. Roxicet comes in 5/325mg tablets oxycodone/apap and 5/500 gelcaps. Roxicodone comes in 5, 15, and 30mg as phisher mentioned and they are all instant release formulations. Roxicodone liquid is also available as a 5mg/5ml oxycodone solution. The er/cr meds you mention, otherwise known as oxycontin, are extended release preparations. The 20mg/20ml solution mentioned is known as OXYFast as I've been prescribed it (albeit the mallinckrodt generic). Aside from that, other brands of oxycodone products include Percocet, Percodan, Endocet, Endodan, Roxidone, Magnacet, Tylox, and OxyIR (which is the 5mg capsule mentioned as roxicodone is availabale only as tablets or liquid.) There is also combunox whixh is a 5/400mg oxycodone/ibuprofen combonation. I hope this help educate everyone and make them aware of what oxycodone meds are out there. I could make a list of all the strengths available but I have already done so numerous times in previous threads so I'm not going to repeat myself. Got to the common imrpints page and take a look and you will find everything you need to know.
