Is It Time Or Imm Release

WHY DO I GET THE SHVERS FOLLOWED BY A HEADACHE?ON 15 MG GENARIC MORPHINE MADE BY MYLAN? ## Were you previously taking one made by a different manufacturer? There can be slight fluctuations in generic medications and the inactive ingredients can be completely different, so you may be sensitive to any change in the dosage, or to an inactive filler of some type. Learn more Morphine details here. Have you mentioned it to your pharmacist? They can usually order one in for you that's manufactured by a different company. ## Going to doctor appointment Thursday and I so want to be changed from immediate release to time release version of oxycodone

Is oxycodone 15mg IMM REL a time release tablet ## No. the IMM REL stands for (IMM) immediate (REL) release which means the medication is immediately released into the system. it is used for breakthrough pain. ## That information is correct! This is an immediate released formulation of the narcotic Oxycodone. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth.

Aloha, I get my medication via the VA pharmacy in Oahu, and recently my doctor changed my Rx to be oxycodone immediate release 5mg. I always look up my medication to make sure what's on the pill is what I should be getting. I got a tiny round white pill with 223 on one side and the other side has a score line. Googling gave the answer that it is oxycodone hydrochloride 5mg, but didn't say if was or wasn't immediate release. I called the VA pharmacy and they said it is immediate release, and it's made by Golden State Pharmacuticals. However, I can't seem to find much online about this company and/or if this pill is or isn't immediate release. Thank you so much for your help! :) ## Hey, I get the same brand medication from the VA. It is Oxycodone in a regular relea...

My husband and I are having a debate...I take 80mg of oxycontin SR three times daily. Does my narcotic blood level stay at a steady 80mg or 240mg daily? ## Well, it isn't going to say at any 'steady' level, because it's always going to vary somewhat, due to activity, fluid intake, what you eat and etc. But since the doses are split you essentially always have some processing out, when you're adding more, so you'd be looking at close to the 80mgs. Learn more Oxycontin details here. Are there any other questions I can help with? ## Hi Verity, I don't know how much help this will be to your debate, but from what I could gather, the apparent elimination half-life of oxycodone following the administration of OxyContin was 4.5 hours compared to 3.2 hours for immedi...

is the oxycodone 20mg tab with imprint PR on one side and 20 on the other an immediate release tab or extended release tab? ## Hello, JDUB! How are you? This tablet is manufactured by Rhodes Pharmaceuticals and they 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? ## Can u chew oxy. Does it have the same affect should you swallow them whole

Is G456 an adderall? Compared to the prescribed adderall the one receive in my refill are orange solid and I find the capsule form time release works perfect for me, can anyone till me the difference with the time release verses the solid orange adderall pill? ## G456 is time releases generic adderall. If I understand you correctly it sounds like the orange solid pill is immediate release generic adderall. ## Yes, the tablet with the G456 marking is manufactured by Impax generics and they list as containing 30mgs of mixed Amphetamine salts in a time released formulation. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness, anorexia, and irritability.

I don't understand, if a pill is 60mg time-released, what's the problem with cutting it? If you get all the med at once you will only get 60mg right? What am I missing? ## Hi Sanaa, To my understanding, it's simply a word of caution to those who may be at risk of overdosing on something their body hasn't yet built a tolerance to (namely when it comes to pain medication, although it could pertain to any drug). Personally, I'd never advise doing so without talking to your doctor or pharmacist first, as there may be immediate-release options available in smaller doses. However, I do see your point and think that if this was a last resort option one can mitigate possible risk factors under the right conditions (i.e. having a high tolerance, etc). Of course, if you ask mo...

They have 325\5mg my dad says he feels weird a couple hours later but not after he takes them so I'm curious. ## Hi kandi, To answer your question, this brand of Vicodin is actually an immediate release version. In regards to how your dad feels, it could be that he's experiencing some sort of side effect from Hydrocodone: nausea drowsiness dizziness lightheadedness fuzzy thinking anxiety abnormally happy or abnormally sad mood Ref: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0000014/#a601006-sideEffects Has he ever taken Vicodin before with similar side effects? ## No this is his first time he got in to a motorcycle accident 20 years ago and his ankle is beginning to be unbearable as the years go by.

which is better - how do I know which one I have? ## Hello, Mickey! How are you? Which is better can depend on the person. Some people do better with the regular release that takes about 15 to 20 minutes to start working, but not everyone stays asleep with it, so they may require the sustained release. The FDA classifies this as a sedative hypnotic that is most commonly used for the short-term treatment of insomnia. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, somnolence, hallucinations, funny taste in mouth, next day hangover-like effects and sleep actions. What are the markings on the pills you have? If you can post back with this information, I can check to see which formulation they are.

Is there a differences between the oxycodone 30 mg with 244 on them, vs any other? I thought they were all the same? ## Hello, Kay! How are you? Do you mean the one with the 224 marking? It is a regular release formulation. There are actually 3 different formulations of Oxycodone available, the regular release, an instant release and the time released that's called Oxycontin. 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. Otherwise, they are all the same, they contain Oxycodone as the active ingredient. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Yes i live in modesto ca and I've hurt my back so many times I'm in daily pain and cant hardly walk some days. ...

Can I cut this oxycodone 30mg pill in half (v 48/12)? I'm prescribed it for breakthrough pain along with fentanyl 75mcg that's also prescribed for chronic pain. ## This is a regular release formulation, so it ca be cut, or broken, with your doctor's approval. 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. Are these the only medications you are currently taking?

Has anybody heard of M 30 oxycodone being reformulated? My mother has been on oxycodone for quite a while now and recently had an rx filled and had a few M's that almost instantly swell up and turn into mush when she takes them. They are the same diameter as the other M's but alot thicker and from what she says, they aren't as effective as the thinner M's. Any info would help, thanks. ## Hello, JOTO! How is your mother doing? No, I've not heard of such a thing. Were they identical in color, too? Were there any other noticeable differences? 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. ## The only noticable difference was the clarity of the imprin...

I've been taking 240 Percocet 10/325 for over 10 yrs with 60 mg MS Contin twice a day for breakthrough pain. When I'm out of the blue my doctor sends me to a pain management specialist because he says he can't write for any narcotic over 120 tabs a month. I go to this new doc who wants to inj. something in my spine in an area he calls the sweet spot, and that I have been over medicated by my other doctor but only after a MRI which I had and I went back after my scan and it turns out I don't have a sweet spot. My thecal sac is 5.4 and gets worse the lower it goes. So he sends me to a surgeon with a script for Percocet 15 mg and it's not touching my pain. I was wondering if I should request something stronger? I was at least able to function with my old med plan but I...

Oxycodone 15mg. Imm.rel. Oxycodone 15mg. HCL 15 MG. What's the difference? The Hcl. Seems weaker to me. ## Hello, Norris! How are you? Well, there is no immediate release in this dosage, only in the regular or time released formulations. And there is no difference, they are both Oxycodone Hydrochloride, the HCL just wasn't included on the one. 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.
