There have been many complaints about these tablets from Actavis. I suggest reporting the issue to the FDA, so they are made aware of it.

You can reach them at 888-463-6332

This is 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 else I can help with?

This is my first time receiving Actavis A333 and I must say (to keep it professional) they are "C-R-A-P!" I just had my doctor cut me down from 15 mg Roxi to 10 mg Percocet. Yes, from 15 mg Roxi to Percocet 10 mg. Two reasons, one to help me control it and two because I get tired calling around the pharmacies trying to find the Roxi 15 mg. Anyway, normally I get Watson but this time I get this "CRAP" pill and it's not really made me all that sick but what it hasn't done is help much with my pain. Actavis should be ashamed to have released such a low quality pill, AND Watson should be embarrassed to be associated with company & product. If Actavis was shooting for a non-additive drug, they found it! NOBODY from what I read want's anything to do with the pill including me! BUT in doing this Actavis apparently doesn't give a damn about those who have to suffer the pains we go through. Actavis has caused us grief by us using our ONLY prescription of the month to acquire their piece of s*** pill and now we must suffer the month until our next prescription at which time I for one will do what I can to keep from getting a hold of another A333 pill! If for some reason a person working for Actavis or Watson is reading this, do us (the people who suffer with pain) the courtesy and don't take these posts to as a joke but instead, show that you TRULY CARE by doing the following. FIRST AND I MEAN FIRST! try one of YOUR PILLS! Then when the time comes, try one of the WATSON pills. IF you rate this with an honest open mind, if you weren't ashamed of you company for putting out the A333 pill, you will be afterwards. If you still think we don't know what we are talking about and for us to stop our complaining, then I can only say this. I hope a time comes when you fall to one of our unfortunates with having to deal with pain all the time and as a result you now must take pain pills to help deal with the pain. I hope that you are given a couple of Watson pills but then you must stay with your pills. I'm sure you'll find you won't be happy because your pill doesn't seem to do anything but give you a bunch of unwanted side effects and you still find yourself dealing with the pain. That's what a lot of people have said and the same is happening with me. Instead of worring about non-addictive drug, worry about a drug that works killing the pain.

i agree, and am spreading the word on every site i can possibly find. the FDA MUST do something about this, because this pill doesn't do s*** for pain. i thought it was me, but after reading SO many complaints about this, i dont know whether to be relieved that it's not me, or more upset that i'm not getting my watson brand back, and now have to find something else. if enough people complain, someTHING HAS to be done. there is no other med that i have tried that works like watson oxy. i'm scared.

I've been on many sites re: Actavis' generic percocet (oxycodone/acetomenophine) and filed complaints with the FDA and the company - everyone who has had severe side effects, no pain relief, etc., LET'S ALL WRITE THEM, CALL THEM, AND NOT LET THIS GO A DAY WITHOUT HEARING FROM THOSE OF US WHO ARE SUFFERING HORRIBLY DUE TO THEIR PRODUCT. Here's someone you can write to:

The Actavis a333 does not work!!!!I have been taking Watson and Mallinkrodt for 3 years and never had a single issue.

Then 2 months ago...I was given Actavis a349. It worked almost as good as the watson. The next month...I was given Actavis a333...it didn't work at all.

Its the a333 FORMULATION that's the issue.

I called Actavis and filed a complaint. They agreed but said they couldn't replace them so I'm stuck in pain..I hope they start supplying a formula that works and stop ripping us off....a lot of people have been affected.

I've seen posts since January 2014 about a333 pills.....and so many complaints!

By calling Actavis about their bad a333 pills...they will refund you the cost of the pills which is a lot of money for most of us.

We have to suffer for the rest of the month so its better to complain than put up with it.... because the next month...were going to get the same a333 pills again as almost all the pharmacies have Actavis now.

When you call and get voice mail...leave a message. They will call you back in a couple of days to follow up...,Below is the phone number:

I had my doctor write "BRAND MEDICALLY NECESSARY" so I can get only brand Percocet and insurance must honor that; hopefully your plan will do that; if not, I would appeal a denial by your prescription plan and use all the comments about generic percocet as proof you must have brand name. Try it - hope it works for you. I wrote Walgreen's Corporate, Actavis Corporate, filed complaints with FDA, NIH, all of them so the more they hear about this, the better for us. But it's a slow wheel to turn - just keep at it like I am.

Wow, I'm not the only one. These A333 made me sick as crap. I knew something was wrong here. They even messed up the Watsons which are complete junk. I'm asking my doc to get away from them. Walgreens carries this junk. Wow, I just thought it was me, I should have known. Soon as I went from kvk k8 to A214 it was horrifying. Made me deadly sick, still felt pain, dopey & tired. What in the world is going on here people? They are poisoning us here. Wow... We need help asap...
