Are Oc S In Canada

I just got a batch of Oxycodone HCL(generic oxycontin) in Ontario Canada and they do not seem to come even close to the original oxycontin.What's going on?I was told by my pharmasist that the ingredients are the same-I used to take 4 80's a year ago and that relieved my pain-Now I am doing 6 80's and it doesn't seem to be close to what they used to be.Is it a matter of getting used to them or what ?help Pls-still in agony Does anyone have a real answer rather than opinions? ## There is a level of allowable fluctuation in generics in both the U.S. and Canada, so you may not be getting quite the same amount of Oxycodone as you were before.

Bacitracin + Polymyxin B

Bacitracin/polymyxin B (trade name Polysporin among others) is a topical antibiotic cream or ointment.[1] The active ingredients are polymyxin B, bacitracin and occasionally garamycin or gramicidin.

I've used Paregoric for 15 years and can't find it. Is there anywhere in the U.S. or other countries where this can be purchased? ## I have been on paregoric therapy for at least 18 years myself. (not to mention Sandostatin, Lomotil & Pamine) Have had occasions the past few years when it was not available, and now I am told the manufacturer has discontinued it. (royal pain) so Dr has now RXd tincture of opium - much less to take, but the stuff tastes like cat s**t (not that I ever tasted cat s**t) - I was hoping to find paregoric again, maybe from Canada - I'm still looking - let me know if ya wanna chat more & / or if you find a source. Would be nice to get out of the house again! Thanks bud - Jim ## Thanks for your reply. I called Canada, and they don't have it...

OcuClear was the best eye drops ever. Since it has gone off the market, I have been unable to find anything comparable. Visine does not do the trick at all. Is there an eye drop on the market today that even comes close to what OcuClear would do? Or can I still purchase OcuClear on the internet? ## OcuClear is manufacrured in Canada, Visine L.R. is the equivalent of OcuClear, and it's available in the US. They both share the same ingredient, which is Oxymetazoline. To learn more click about Oxymetazoline the link below... Do you have any more questions or information to add? Please post back if you do. ## I have tried Visine. It may have the same ingredient in it, but something is still different about Visine than OcuClear. I have a problem with red eyes, and OcuClear always cleared...

round white tablet, rph over D51 ## Sorry, this is apparently something foreign, not regulated and used in the US so I cannot find an ID on it. I would suggest talking to a local pharmacist who may be able to help. ## It's Domperidone, a medication generally used to get intestines moving in the right direction, and for acid reflux. Occasionally prescribed to increase lactation in breastfeeding moms, as that is one of its side effects. (used in Canada)

Found a small octagonal white pill, no coating, NN on one side, letters separated by a single score, and 5 on opposite side in my sons room and just wanted to see what it is before talking to him about it. Never seen a pill like this in Canada. Help! ## I just found 1 if the same in my kitchen floor and no one in my household is perscribed this. What is it? ## It sounds like Amlodipine besylate which is a calcium blocker heart medication. Scary if it is being passed off as fun drugs. Can really mess you up.

They are generic oxy's ## Hi Biff, Are these pills manufactured in Canada by chance? I can't seem to find any specific details on them here in the US, so I can only assume that that may be the case. I know Purdue Pharma manufactures round green pills imprinted with OC on one side & 80 on the other side; which are 80mg Oxycontin tablets. But this is the closest match I can find to your description. If you have any more details to share that would be great. Thanks! ## those are apo ocd 80mg bro. those are pretty much the same as the old oxys. its the generics man there whip. i hope i see htem soon to your lucky

Where can you purchase it in Canada? ## Nupercainal ointment is an over-the-counter medicinal cream for treating hemorrhoids. If you can't find it at any of your local pharmacies or health stores I'd suggest trying Amazon or Ebay, as I have seen Nupercainal listed there on several occasions. Both of these companies regularly ship to Canada, so this may be a good last resort option. Hope this helps! ## Thank you! I appreciate your response. ## I just ordered the ointment and may God bless you both for sharing this information. I look forward to being able to sit in church without pain!! 82 yr. Jean in GA. ## I just heard from a rep at Ducere Pharma that Nupercainal will be in Walgreens and Rite Aid and independent pharmacies in August 2013! Yay!

These pills do not work for pain, the hospitals are not using it for pain control after surgery because people are screaming of no pain relief. Purdue Pharma did the change out slowly by zip codes so they could handle the complaints they take your info, they say they will pray for you they are sorry they had to do something to control the problem. It was approved under it's old license. Complain to the FDA about any problems associated with these drugs. The real oc's are still world wide because other countries don't allow their citizens to be cheated they make the manufacturer relicense. Canada is the way to go. Walmart Sannich road has a walmart pharmacy that carries the oxycontin in the original formula for 120 eighties it is 500.00 US. Good luck you will need a passport ...

I am wondering if anyone has seen an oxy that looks the same as an 80 but says w80 on one side and oxy cr on the other. It's the same color green but thinner than the old ones. I was told the old ones were coming back, but I wont take anything that im not 100% sure of. I googled everywhere and i cannot find anything on these pills. I'm in canada if that helps. ## They are made by cobalt, check their website. Use any number to say ur a physician. ## the Oxy CR W80 pills are the re-introduction of the old formula, they have less fillers than the OCD 80 APO generic version, and are thinner. ## They are as close to the old formula as u can get in my opinion...

What is the color and shape of oxycodone HCL 10 mg. ## A 10mg Oxycodone tablet would be a generic for Roxicodone, so there are several on the market manufactured by different companies.
