Fake Oxy

Pills not working as well, have ON underlined with a 10 on the other side. anyone else having problems? ## Hi Nancy, Did you get these pills at a pharmacy or online? If you got them online, you may have gotten a generic version which could potentially be a lot less potent than the brand name variety. Based on my research, the FDA permits generic formulas to vary by as much as 20% from the active ingredients in brand formulas. Do you think this could be the case?

I have a small white pill ( not light blue ) with 30 and a score line horizontal on one side and the M on the back is this a real 30mg oxy? I took it about 40 min ago and did not feel any relief i take the 30s a lot and have never had it not work for me please any help ## Hello, Tiff! How are you? Is the M in a box? If so, it is a very, very pale blue tablet that is manufactured by Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals and they do list it as containing 30mgs of Oxycodone in a regular release formulation. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. ## hey i have some 30 mg m square on the back. I get the feeling it is real and the affects but these are a white color and when i take half...

white , oval shaped , one side says 20 OXY the other side is blank with a big engraving to split the pill ## Hello, Porkee! How are you? This tablet is manufactured by Pro Doc Limitee and they do list it as containing 20mgs of Oxycodone in a regular release formulation. The FDA classifies this medication as 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?

Blue V 48\12some are smaller and darker are they placebos? ## Hello, Ria! How are you? Quite a few people have posted about these recently and I must admit that I don't have any information on them. There have been no changes reported in the prescription drug databases, so far. That means there's a chance that these may be fake. 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. Where were they obtained? ## I bought what I thought was a 30mg Oxycodone with the V on one side and other side has the 48 score 12 on it and the pill was a very thick pill, it tasted sweet and a little bit of soapy tasting but more of the sweet taste so it had to be a (PLACEBO) an I thou...

How can I tell if oc 80 is real? ## Hi Misti, If you could provide the imprint(s) on the tablet, along with a physical description of the pill (color, shape, etc), then I can help you determine if it's real or not. I have seen a round green 80mg Oxycodone tablet with the imprint: M 596; and another round green one with the imprint: ABG 80; and one other that is oval and green with an imprint of: 33 93. While I'm sure there are a few others out there besides these three that are 80mg doses, once you post back with more details, we can narrow down the search. I hope this helps!

So I have a couple rp 20s but the rp are not lined up facing right up with the 20. They are sideways or upside down. Are these fake? ## As long as you've received them from a legitimate source, then there is no need to worry. NDC: 42858-0004 There is no specific way that the markings on a tablet need to line up, while some companies are very precise, others aren't, and it can vary depending on how the pills fell into the press.

I bought a fake oxy10 cream and instead of throwing it away,I mixed it with my cream and months later I found ringworm all over my body!but I'm not sure if its the cause or not!plz help! ## Hello, Kiddo Niddo! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem you have. I can't say whether or not that was the cause, but I can tell you that Ringworm is a fungal infection, so you'll need an antifungal cream or ointment to clear it up, as explained by the NIH. Have you consulted your doctor? Have you ever had it before?

I changed pharmacies the other day and received what is supposed to be Mallinckrodt 30mg oxy and 60mg morphine from Mallinckrodt. Both scripts the pills have a clean score mark on one side and 30 above the line and the infamous M in a box on the other. The oxy is white with a slight blue hue to it very, very light. The morphine same instead is has a 60 on the one side And M on the other. They are yellowish. Both scripts have pills missing stamps and are either rubbed off or something and the outer edge it looks like 2 pills smashed together. The oxy has a lot of powder in the bottom of the bottle and I dissolved one in water and it left about 1-10th of the pill powder behind. The morphine is just plain bad looking. Lots of missed stamps and no powder in the bottle. The color is quite od...

the best thing to do is ask for the name brand form of the pill.roxxicodone and not the generic and go to a big corperate pharmacy not a mom and pop shop ## I have seen a bunch of the darker blue K-9s here in Florida lately too and I think they are fake also. There are a ton of fake pills going around now. ## To those who are constantly at risk of taking fake meds, the best way to avoid this is by obtaining a valid prescription through your doctor and to get it filled at a licensed pharmacy. Not worth risking it all by taking a shot in the dark at web-based pharmacies or other illegal means. In all fairness, sometimes legitimate pharmacies even dispense what 'seasoned' pain patients (i.e. those who've "tried them all") refer to as placebo pills; doing nothing to mask...

I've taken Roxicodone for 6 years. This month is the first time I've gotten these. They're just made by a different company. I just took one and they made my pain where I could stand it. I've always gotten the big blue pill marked with 224 or the M blocks or the a215 and these are just as strong as all the others ones! ## Just out of curiosity, what makes you insinuate that they're fake if they work so well? Round blue generic Oxycodone hcl 30mg tablets imprinted with "cor" over "226" on one side and scored on the back, are depicted as legitimate pills made by Corepharma. I guess it all depends on where or who you got them from, because I personally wouldn't trust anything that wasn't dispensed by a licensed pharmacy. Nevertheless, I'm gla...

I got k,9 it's a darker blue than whawhat I've seen before are these real or fake ## @the crazy one, I believe the only honest way to know for certain that what you have is real (outside of getting it analyzed by a lab) would depend upon whether you got it filled at a real licensed pharmacy and not by some other means. Legitimate pharmacies don't dispense fake medication, although sometimes manufacturers have been known to alter the color of their pills without giving any prior notice to patients. So that's something to keep in mind as well. Regardless, "if" the pill wasn't obtained legitimately and it doesn't look like what you're used to seeing, then it's probably safe to bet that it is fake. However, this is something that only you would know t...

I was told that my friend received the whole prescription of m box 30s that were deliverd to her by a new pharmacy. Does anyone know of this happening in the Baltimore md area? I'm quite hesitent to say the least ## Fake pills can turn up anywhere in the U.S. The question, however, is how do your or your friend know they are fake or real? What are you basing it on? Learn more Oxycodone details here. The ones listed in the databases with this marking are a pale blue with the M in a box one one side and a 30 over a score line on the other side….. But there was another post recently from someone who had some that had brown specks in the pill, which I've never seen, even when I'd taken this myself and that person hasn't posted back yet to say where they got them.

i've been taken 30mg roxicodone for 3months for the last two most of them have been fake i'm diabled and people hold these and my money's i'm in pain 24/7 from a broken neck and left arm that all messed up from injury,also a dic in my back lower is dislocated the doctor said from mri's today i'm callind the fda and police because i'm dieing ## They aren't necessarily fake,but there can be differences in generic medications, so you may not be getting the same dose you were in the other ones you were taking. Have you tried talking to the pharmacy to see if they can order ones in for you that are manufactured by a different company? Have you considered talking to your doctor to see if they can prescribe the name brand? ## i've been on med for 4 to 5 year...

So confused.. There are some of these that are really crumbly and look a lot darker than the ones I originally saw. They taste a lot grosser and are unpleasant.. They also melt in your hand and I didn't recall them doing that before.. ## @Natalie, First things first, depending on whether or not you're getting these filled at a real licensed pharmacy (which you didn't mention), there's really no way to know if what you're getting is real outside of having each tablet analyzed by a lab for verification. This is because counterfeits are becoming increasingly similar to legitimate versions of the same drug, often possessing the same imprint, color, and shape. So in my opinion, the most important thing you can do in such situations is to just be upfront and honest with yo...

Got a pill that had OC on the front and 40 on the back...Took it and felt nothing... Looked at pics online and noticed the 4 on the 40 imprint was different. .. the online pics has the 4 open and not joined...Actually mine looked like ( 40).. the 4 is closed not open... im thinking its fake.. ## Hello, Rufus! How are you? It most likely was, because these are no longer being manufactured. Purdue changed the formulation to help prevent abuse and the new tablets use the marking OP on them. They discontinued the original formulation with the OC on them. The FDA lists Oxycodone as being 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. It's best not to take anything that hasn...

There are so many fake oxycondones out right now!!! I'm from Baltimore Maryland but am now residing in south Florida on the treasue coast. Baltimore has a lot of fake ones especially mbox 30s those are always a red flag to me anywhere. I'm not 100% sure but someone told me that the pharmacy doesn't even make them anymore and if they give them to u they are left overs. But everyone has them. Anyways the reason I'm writing this post is because my friend just died here in Florida from fake a215 .. it's so sad.. mostly everyone in Florida abuses them which I do not. The a215 down here which are fake are so poorly made and the people who do them I guess don't care because it f***s them up.. I recently discovered from a home diagnostic kit as well as will a lot of dili...

10/325 on one side and m325 on the other. How can I tell if it is real? ## Hello, Lou! How are you? If you received it from a legitimate licensed U.S. pharmacy, then there is no need to worry. However, if it was obtained from some other source, there is no way to know what you may have received and it would be best to dispose of them. The FDA classifies this medication as 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?

Do u now if v 48 12 are fake they r a little bigger and little liter collet blue then normal ## Hello, Bob! How are you? I cannot confirm it, because no lab reports back it up, but users have reported many fake Oxycodone tablets recently, so they could be. The FDA classifies this medication as being 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. If you received them from a licensed U.S. pharmacy, then you likely shouldn't worry. However, if they were obtained through some other source, then yes, you should question their authenticity.

found M 30 light blue slit in half like a English Muffin and was able to twist apart as if they were glued together.... dont believe they are real ## Hey Dave, If it's something you found on the street in the kind of condition where you could just pull it apart like that, I would also think it was counterfeit or purposely tossed outside for a good reason. You shouldn't really be able to do that with any tablet, but it sounds like some people will go the extra mile to give a false appearance. Does it also have the same type of imprints as the real version, with an "M" on one side in a box and "30" over a score line on the back side? ## I came across the blue m 30's and they look exactly like the real ones. I had a real one in hand also and other them the fact ...
