Does APAP strengthen or weaken oxy-hydro? new
      #121196 - 12/08/03 11:11 AM

Simple question here. Which is stronger, percocet 10/325 or 10/650? Does APAP strengthen or weaken oxy or hydro?

In most people the higher the APAP ratio to the hydro will make the analgesic effect stronger. But everybody is different, and lots of people are uncomfortable with all that APAP/.tylenol in their livers.

True, It seems that apap does in fact raise the effectivness of a product, but it also puts strain on your liver, like the above post states. It's really really wise to limit your apap intake to 2500mg total in a 24 hour period. This is if you are taking it long term. Most everyone already knows this, but it's something that should be stressed from time to time. I've had a scary run in with hight ALT liver levels, when taking to much apap for a long period of time. It was under 4000mg daily, but I then found out that number mg's is for short periods of time 1-2 weeks.

Good luck and my motto is, the less apap the better..
I personally still get the same pain relief from a product with little to no apap. Just my opinion.
