No, the strength is 5/325. The 5 is the amount of oxycodone in the medication, a potent narcotic analgesic. It means 5 mgs. 500 mgs would kill you or anyone else, likely even an opiate tolerant person. The 325 is Tylenol (also called apap). What you have is a narcotic analgesic combination for moderate to moderately severe pain. It will ease any discomfort you are having. It may also make you feel drowsy, "floaty", and a bit nauseous. Try eating before taking it or sipping something fizzy, lying down and not moving your head, or take it with an anti-histamine like Benadryl to reduce the nausea. Do not drive or otherwise do things that could require alertness and clear thinking.
Don't let people scare you. Yes it is a narcotic, but it is also an extremely SAFE and effective medication if used as directed. Less than 1% of people who take it short-term become addicted, and less than 5% who take it long term become addicted. If you take it for an extended period of time, you may develop tolerance and withdrawal symptoms would result if you stopped taking it suddenly, but that IS NOT addiction. Again, taken as prescribed, it is extremely safe and effective and you have nothing to worry about.

There is no difference. They are both the same. Percocet is just the name brand.
