The half-life of Oxycodone (Percocet) is 3 - 4.5 hours. Now a lot of
factors can increase this value (eg. If you suffer from renal failure,
liver issues etc.) But assuming the worst, and let's say you have taken
20mg of Oxycodone. This means:
-4.5 hours later - 10mg remaining
-9 hrs later - 5mg remaining
-13.5 hrs later - 2.5mg
-18 hrs - 1.25mg
-22.5 hrs - 0.625mg
-27 hrs - 0.3125mg left
-31.5 hours - 0.16mg left ----> by this point, you don't have to worry.
To be on the safer side, keep this value at 36 hours but
allow a buffer of up to 48 hours to be safe since there are
other factors like your dosage and body-weight.
