Morgan asked

I was prescribed Oxycodone (Alv 196) is there any difference between that and regular Oxycodone?

Answer

Oxycodone with ALV 196 imprinted on the tablet is actually generic Percocet, which is a combination of two drugs, oxycodone and acetaminophen (the active ingredient in Tylenol).

Specifically, the tablet you are referring to is oxycodone/acetaminophen 5/325 mg.

So the difference is that one contains only oxycodone and the other is oxycodone/acetaminophen 5/325 mg.

Oxycodone/acetminophen tablets are generally used when the more effective pain relief if needed.
