New Formulated Oxycontin

Updated

The new formulated oxycontin that has op takes a long time to work since taking this new formulated oxycontin I developed staph (staff) infection. I do not think that it is fair for the people like me that don't snort them or inject them intervenously that they were changed. It's also very hard to swallow them. In the news it came out that a person that was prescribed the new formulated oxycontin had to go to the emergency room because the medicine got stuck in his throat. It is not fair that they were changed expecially because alot of people don't abuse them and actually need them for severe pain. I went to the emergency room with the staph infection and ofcourse I was told that it had nothing to do with the new formulated op but I have heard from different people that alot of people are developing staph infections and also that they get stuck in your throat. Who knows what will happen?

I cannot believe that alot of people sit and judge individuals that have chronic pain and have to take oxycontin. I also developed a staph infection from this new formulated oxycontin. I had never in my life had a staph infection. Who knows maybe purdue was to illiminate people because of the economy and not only pudue but the government as well. I can assure you that purdue will be hit with alot of law suits from this new formulated oxycontin. This gel is going to start sticking to our organs and staying in a big clump and people will start dropping like flys. Why are we being used as guinnie pigs. I have never chewed, crushed or abused oxycontin. I have been prescribed this for 3 years so far and I had finally found pain relief from herniated disks and ovarian cancer. Please do not sit there and judge us it's not fair to people like us that really have chronic pain and don't abuse our medication.

There are many people having problem with the new Oxycontin OP, there have been complaints that it is not as effective and that it causes weird side effects.

I suggest calling and reporting the problems you are having to both Purdue and the FDA at the following numbers:

Purdue Pharma number for drug safety/medication issues:

888.726.7535


FDA MedWatch number:

800-332-1088

Are there any questions or comments?

I have researched this new op and what alarm's me is all the deception from medical group to pharmacies. Because of the confusion over this med it does make me wonder why the need for disinformation. Do i beleive the government is going to knock off the infirm and eldery. no. Yet i wish i could get some questions answered like..medicaid will now pay for brand name only..the new op's are much more expensive than the generic. why? One of the biggest complaints of the new op's is it takes so long to work and often will not digest. Thus making someone go into withdrawal's. What happens when one goes through withdrawal? Their blood pressure shoots up..heartrate speed's up..take a 70 yr.old ..shoot his blood pressure up..make his heart rate speed and you have a heart attack or stroke. And on top of it he suffers badly before he dies. He is in severe pain because the ops don't work..on top of pain he is suffering from withdrawal which those who have gone through it is 'hell' on earth. Please SOMEONE tell me why medicaid will not pay for generic oxycodone? It's so much cheaper. With obama gutting medicare..and healthcare rationing for the elderly..i..well i have a nag that i hate thinking about.

I have a comment if it wasnt for ppl who snorts them and shoots them they would have never changed them for one! ppl that really need them have to suffer cause of dummies out there who have to snort and shoot! SO QUIT ABUSEING THEM DUMMIES! SORRY FOR ALL THE PEOPLE THAT NEED THEM NOT THE ONES WHO CAUSED FDA TO CHANGE THEM CAUSE OF THEIR STUPIDNESS! PILLS ARE MADE TO TAKE BY MOUTH NOT UP THE NOSE OR SHOOTING THEM!
