Tec Percocet Replacement

Updated

For chronic pain I was taking what I thought was a generic percocet which was a White Round Pill with TEC on one Side and a Line on the other side. About 3 per day.When recently I had my perscription refilled the pharmacist replaced these with a Smaller Round Pill with APO on one side and the number 5 above a line and below the number 325.They do not appear to be as effective but the pharmacist said that they were the same .Can any one explain why the change to these pills and why the difference in pain relief Thanks

Its a cheap, generic form of percocet, perco is a registered orginal med. The smaller pill is canadian made and called oxycodocet.
Its a bit stronger for pain and buzz than the TEC type, the TEC also has a cheap generic copy marked with 0386.
TEC is by RatioPharm a canuck generic manu.

In Canada you are permitted to request the generic that works best for you, no extra cost is added.

Yes, it's a generic, but there can be slight fluctuations in the amount of the active ingredients, so you may not be getting the exact same amount as you were in the others, which may be why it's not working as well for you.
