small round orange yellow pill 40 on one side 00 on other ## small round yellow orange pill 40 on one side 00 on other ## Was the marking possibly OC 40? Could you please double check and post back? If so, Purdue Pharma lists it as being a 40mg Oxycontin tablet, which is no longer manufactured. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, constipation, headache, and dry mouth. They changed their formulation a few years ago, and now use the OP marking, they have also made them more abuse proof.

Hey all, I was born with dislocated hips and have had more than 10 operations throughout my life since I was born to correct the issue, according to my dr. It was the worst case he has ever seen and my hip bones and joints have fused into my pelvis I can not open my legs at all or spread them I can not run or jump walking is extremely difficult and I get tired fast and my legs are in a lot of pain after 27 years I had enough of it so my bone dr referred me to a pain specialist. Fast forward to three years later now I’m 30 years of age. My only hope is for a complete hip replacement and after being on pain medication for the last 3 years nothing is working anymore. My dr had me on 60mg of oxyContin 3 times a day (180mg daily) and short acting oxycodone twice daily. Now, my question...

There are new-generic 2017 Oxycontin now. My pharmacy filled my script with generic because they thought my Dr. Did not write "no substitution" he did by checking the "no substitution" box so they had to unfill & refill with OP's, not knowing what they are like, I did not want the generic. What do the 80 mg tablets look like? Do they work as well as the OP's? Who is the manufacturer? ## There is no generic Oxycontin currently available on the U.S. market. Generics are only available for the ones that aren't time released. What are the markings on the one the pharmacy provided you with? The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. ## ...

Found a pill in my daughter's room - it's a yellowish round pill with M in a box and numbers 595 on other side. Anyone know what it is? ## The round yellow pill with M on one side and 595 on other side is the generic oxycontin pain killer 40mg. It is extremely addictive so you should talk to your daughter about it asap. ## I am holding one in my hand at the moment, and it is 100% a 40mg Controlled Release Oxycodone. This is a highly potent drug, and if it is not prescribed for your daughter, than it is also very illegal. Hope that this helps. ## Well, there is no doubt it is an oxy, and that's an opium, which is highly addictive and starts to hurt you Cuz Once you r addicted, I'd you don't have it, you become what is called "DOPE SICK" this it's very very...

10 oc ## Please help! Found a tannish maybe peachish small round pill, it seems to have more of a smooth coated texture then powdery, with what looks like a 10 on one side and a oc on the other. It was near where kids were brushing teeth in mom in laws bathroom! They said they didn't touch it, but still worried! We don't know what it is! ## This is an older Oxycontin tablet, which contains 10mgs of Oxycodone in a time released formulation, tablets with this marking are no longer available on the U.S. market. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. Even if they did touch it, it would not cause any harm, it would have to be ingested to cause any issues. However, in the...

red round pill tcll 60 ## I'm not too sure where or what this pill was used for.?? I have cerable palsy, and I used to take this pill for my back pain..I used to take this pill last year when I broke my back..since then I've had it fused back together..just wondering what this pill was or is.??? ## its a oxycotin op 60mg pill they're time released ## That is incorrect, this is not any type of prescription product. Pills marked with TCl are over the counter products, which are available as generics and store brands in many different stores. I can't find a listing for this one, because over the counter products are not required to be logged in the databases, like prescription medications are. The time release Oxycontin 60mg would carry the marking of OC 60 or OP 60 on the ...

I have been taking Percoset and Norco for about 18 months, with no real side effects. Six days ago, my doctor switched me to Oxycontin 20mg twice a day. For the past 3 days, my ankles and feet have been rather swollen. Can Oxycontin cause this. I thought Percoset and Oxycontin were the same thing, except that Percoset is immediate release and Oxycontin is sustained release. I also take hydrocodone every 4 hours for break thru pain. ## YOU REALLY NEED TO GET OFF OF OXY IT IS REALLY BAD ON YOU I BEEN TAKEING THEM FOR 5 YEARS AND NOW WHEN I TRY TO QUIT IT MAKES ME REALY SICK I WOULD STAY WITH THE PERCOSET OR GO TO LOWER TAB 10 OR GO TO KADDEN ## @ Wes. I appreciate your concern. However, I have had 6 surgeries in the past 17 months with at least 1 more to go. So, I will not be getting off ...

I am seeing a pain management doctor right now she has me on 15 milligrams of oxycontin the extended relief. I called her and told her that it was not working and she said the next time I come in maybe that she would up the dosage. I've been experiencing headaches major mood swings. One minute I'm happy the next minute I'm crying and then the next minute I'm a raging lunatic. I I want to be on something that is long lasting, I've already been the Norco in the percocet route. Those were not strong enough for me. Is there anything that I can ask the doctor about that is longer lasting? That is also not extended release, and will last longer to make my pain stay away longer? Thanks for any help. ## Hello, Phylis! How are you? If you want something that lasts longer, an ...

I am prescribed Percocets 5/325 from my pain clinic. I have a dr appointment in one day. Well i had run out of my Percocets 5 and I had some Oxycontin left over from a surgery I had before. I went ahead and took it. At my dr appointment in 1 day I know they will have me do a drug test. Will it keep me from passing it? Or will it just show up that I have something else in my urine? Or will it be okay? Please help, I need to know. ## They both contain oxycodone....you will only fail if they test for that specifically. It's synthetic... Can you give me your docs name? I'm in agony.

Is oxycontin and Percocet the same thing except without the tylenol ## Yeah. It's usually extended release instead of the percocet, which is immediate release. Not all the time but that's what I've seen. ## Hello, Katy! How are you? No, Raine, you are correct, both contain Oxycodone, but Percocet also contains Acetaminophen/Tylenol and Oxycontin just contains Oxycodone in a 12 hour time released formulation. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything I can help with? ## Is a 18 mg xtampza ER stronger or the same as Percocet 10mg? ## Suzie, Both medications contain oxycodone xtampza er is an extended rele...

CVS, a company involved in scandalous behavior in the past is now going to dictate policy on pain meds and prescribing. I urge all pain patients to contact your public officials to not allow this company to now play god with what is prescribed to you superseding your doctors orders and for many patients to file litigation against this company and the CDC or any other governmental agencies that allow these criminals to become your doctors and set the rules. This organization cannot be allowed to set the rules when it comes to your healthcare. They have again overstepped their authority and this latest fiasco shows how they have no regard to patients who need these medications for quality of life. Trying to take medication from people who need it is criminal. Just google this company and ...

Hi all. I have intractable pelvic RSD, peripheral neuropathy, lumbar facet spondylosis. I live in California and am about to have to change insurances at the end of this month. The new insurance has ridiculously high Rx prices. I go to a PM for all my pain meds, but my primary dr has in the past managed them for me. My question is if anyone knows if I get an Rx for the 60mg Oxycontin twice a day like usual from my PM and then my primary to write a script for 40mg 3 times a day and then I can go to 2 totally different pharmacies and fill one with my insurance and the other at another pharmacy and pay with cash, will that flag the DEA and cause my PM to get a notification of "Doctor shopping"? I am just trying to have enough meds to get me through an extra month until my husbands ...

OxyContin OP 20 ## Yes, this is the new 20mg Oxycontin OP, it has been designed to help prevent abuse of the drug. Whether crushed or chewed, it will retain its time released properties. Otherwise, it works the same and has the same side effects, such as: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and constipation. Read more: Are there any questions? ## NOT EVERYONE gets this so called new OP 20 pill. I just got out of surgery 3 days ago and the OP 20 oxycontin i was prescribed breaks apart easily and can be crushed like a normal pill. I broke mine in half so i dont go through a 20 pill prescription fast. Im guessing if the dr or whomever feels that a patient may try to abuse a medication may be on the outs of getting an abuse proof form of the med. Thats my opinion.

I just realized when I took my nighttime meds that I had just taken an OxyContin 60mg about an hour before that. (so I took two about an hour apart). I'm afraid I could overdose, but I know addicts probably take much more than that, so I'm not sure if I'm safe or not...I've been on this drug for well over 6 years ( 60mg at least 3 of those years), so I think I have a pretty good tolerance for it-what should I do? I'm ready to go to sleep but I don't want to wake up dead.. ## I'm sorry I didn't see your post sooner. How are you doing? Opiate tolerant or not, that's still a pretty high dosage to jump up to and, in case it ever happens again, you should know the danger signs to watch for, just in case. The early symptoms of a possible overdose might incl...

I have an oval shaped pill that are green in color, are these Oxycontin? ## Pictures of oxycontin. 1118 inprinted on one side and 93 inprinted on the other side. Oval shaped and green. ## The green Oxycontin tablets, which are manufactured by Purdue, are round. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. Cassie, the tablet with the 93 1118 marking is manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals, and they list it as containing 600mgs of Etodolac, in a controlled release formulation. It is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that is used to treat pain, fever, and swelling. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding,...

My daughter is in stage 4 lung cancer. Her liver levels were very high. Is it caused by OxyContin (60mg)? ## Hi Chi, I'm very sorry to hear about your daughter's condition. According to NIH.gov, "Oxycodone by itself has not been linked to serum enzyme elevations during therapy or to clinically apparent liver injury." However, they go on to note that the combination of oxycodone with acetaminophen is linked to many cases of acute liver failure caused by an unintentional overdose of acetaminophen. Source: livertox.nih.gov/Oxycodone Having said this, my theory is that OxyContin isn't the culprit. Is your daughter taking anything else or undergoing chemo? I hope she makes a full recovery.

I Lived in new jersey my entire life and i am going to move to Florida about an hour from Daytona. I have bin on pain meds from pain management. I get Roxy 15 4 times a day and oxycontin 30 3 times for 8 years will I be able to get this in Florida ? ## Doubt it. DEA has scared the doctors with prosecutions, life imprisonments and even murder charges down here. It's horrible for legitimate patients to get help. I was on 10mg Percocet in North Carolina and it rook 4 years of jumping through hoops and unhelpful repetitive medical procedures just to get 7.5mg Loratabs. Mind you, this is with 15 years of prior medical records and such. Good luck is all I can say. ## I recently bought a house in Bonita Springs, FL (next to Naples, FL ). When I first arrived w/script for MS Contin 100mg (I...

My friend got this pill and said it was an OxyContin 20mg, but I don't think so! It was yellowish in color, a small tablet with APO on one side and R20 on the other. Could you please research this for me? ## You are correct, Apotex Canada lists this tablet as containing 20mgs of Rabeprazole, which is a generic for Dexilant, it is a proton pump inhibitor that is used to help reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach, to help treat, or prevent conditions, such as ulcers, heartburn, GERD, and gastritis. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, stomach pain, and headache. Is there anything else I can help with?
