Roxicodone Brand Unavailable

Updated

Has anyone heard of an unavailability of Brand Roxicodone. My pharmacy tell me that only the generic are available. They don't work as well, and frankly, I don't believe them.

they only make generic 30mg they are made by several different manufactures so it depends on what pharmacy you go to but no matter what they are all generic and all are pretty much the same if you snort them they taste different thats about the only difference between all of them

I was under the impression that Purdue manufactured Roxicodone Brand and that there are generics. I take it as prescribed. It seems like the non Purdue which are lighter blue don't have the same efficacy.

I don't have details on exactly what is going on, but there does appear to be a shortage of the brand name Roxicodone and most pharmacies have been unable to restock their supply and have no other option but to provide customers with the generic, Oxycodone.

There can be differences in generic medications, since they are allowed to differ from the name brand, by as much as plus or minus 20% of the active ingredient, which may be what is causing your problem.

Have you contacted your doctor about your concerns?

This contains the active ingredient Nitrofurantoin, which is an antibiotic.

The current warnings about renal function are actually not conclusive and, if you do have a severe infection, not taking the antibiotic to treat it could be much worse than the possible dangers of using it.

Jake, that is not a Roxicodone tablet, nor any type of prescription product.

Pills with a 44 on them, followed by 3 additional numbers are all over the counter products, the company that makes them does not make any prescription products, at this time.

This one that is marked 44 298 is an over the counter laxative, that contains 8.6mgs of Senna.

I have had the same problem with Roxycodone. I had to go to an actual pain clinic, due years of severe spousal abuse and many, many fractures that could not be attended to for years. I had a reaction to Percodan with Aspirin. Come to find out, it was the 'binders' that are changing. I'm in Montana and have had to fight for everything that the docs have given me. Understand that I DO NOT like to take meds. I've taken myself off of almost EVERYTHING that the doctors put me on when I got here; but, I have osteoporesis and chronic pain. So, when I got the 5 mg. and took them for awhile, I ended up with a rash. The nurse at the clinic got me in right away and said that I had to look around for another manufacturer of oxycodone in town. NOT ONE pharmacist knew what the Brand name of oxycodone was. It's the same manufacturer as the one that manufacturers that 5 mg. that I take now. I don't know how to get that across to them.
