(2) 15mg Oxycodone's Vs. (1) 30mg Oxycodone

Updated

My doctor prescribed me (60) 30mg. Oxycodone's. But my pharmacist gave me (120) 15 mg. pills as a substitute. My question is will (2) 15 mg. pills have the same effect as (1) 30 mg. pill?

yes it will. I have found that XOLOX 10/500 is the best pain reliever of oxycodone and only like $1/tablet

My doctor explained to me that it is equivalent.

Yes, as long as it is the same release formulation, then it would be the same.

Oxycodone is a very potent narcotic pain reliever. Commonly sold under the brand names Roxicodone, OxyIR and Oxycontin, depending on the release formulation prescribed.

Some common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

You can read more about the medication here:

yes,, on paper taking two 15mg roxys should equal 1 30 mg roxy... ON PAPER... BUT BUT BUT,, i know this from my personal experience,, but for some reason the 15's dont help me at all! i mean its not even close to the 30's for some wierd reason. I know it doesnt make sense to me,, but i swear its true in my case.. taking a half of a 30 actually seems to help me more than taking 2 15's.. lol i know on paper that makes NO sense but like i have said,, thats in MY case.. dont know why,, wish i did.. if anyone does know i would love to know why.. thanks

I TOTALLY agree with J!! It is the same (almost) for me. I have been prescribed these medications for almost two decades now and the 15mg tablets have no where NEAR the effectiveness that the 30mg tablets have. I agree that this makes no sense what-so-ever but there you go... I can take four 15mg tablets and NOT recieve the same relief as taking ONE 30mg tablet. For whatever reason, my metabolism does not react to the 15's as well as it does to the 30's. I have discussed this with my Dr. and he just gives me the hmmm! Good luck and I hope that this helps.

J it makes perfect sense an is true. Only certain generics work for me, mainly actavis an core pharma. I Take mallincroct methadoneno issues. But i also take 15 mgs of roxicodone which is going up to 90 30mgs. 2 15mgs. are not as effective as 130, in my experience.

Need to know before seeing dr. 10-15-10 about a mistake I think has happened to me. I took 160mg oxycodone a day until 9-9-10 they gave me half of my 60 tablets in OP's which cause a allergic reaction, So my PA changed me to 5mg Opana er but had reaction to those. I also think she gave me the wrong mg to convert too! Came back into office to see Head of PM and he gave me 15mg IR every 6 hours and my body can handle this med. but I think to low again to convert too! He must be going by he 5mg of Opana ER. Does anyone know what MG of Oxy IR I should be taking so I might be able to show him the difference. Don't they have conversion tables they go by or are they that cold and don't care to check correctly. measure twice to cut once should be thier example. thank you for your help

to have a real comparison, you must break the 15's in half when you swallow them to breaking 1-30mg in half.

From experience, i think that two 15mg are better than one 30mg. BUT only the A214's. The Mblocks and the ETH's suck. Only thing that will help me is the V's and A214's. It just varies.

First off the damn pills havent been around 20 years dude so ur wrong right there! Also 2 15 mg is not the same as 1 30mg with 15 mg ur only getting 15mg inside of that pill and even if u take 2 its the like taking 15mg dosage bc thats whats in the pill the mg is lower all toghter!! there is a difference

You people should be ashamed of yourself taking all this dope which should only be prescribed to people dying of cancer of with other intractable chronic pain syndromes. We are already moving in Florida, other states to follow. So instead of comparing two 15mg pills to one 30mg you people can get jobs and get lives instead of gloating over the fact you got meds you have no business having posission of in the first place.

To Roxanne - why dont you mind your own business you must be here for a reason.

Roxanne,
You should not judge people who take pain meds. You do not obviously understand how dangerous it can be for people who have Legitimate Pain Management Dr. Prescriptions. How would you feel if your mother had knee replacement surgery and is now suffering because she cannot fill her prescription for pain medicine. This attitude and people like you who judge everyone because of the actions of few are quite literally killing people. The stigma is real and the problem needs a real solution. Regulating the crap out of doctors and patients will NOT stop illegal activity! Just costs patients more and Doctors feel harassed.
I bet you voted for Obama too.

i wish the last guy didnt throw in i bet you voted for obama too, that made them sound really dumb, but roxanne is obviously a person who doesn;t have a clue about the real world and only kows what she reads in reports and statistics distributed by the people trying to stop the distribution of necessary medicine. I have had a lubar spinal fusion in 4 discs in my back and am only 26 years old. I just moved to Florida from california and have had the worst tie trying to get my prescriptions filled for any and all pain pills. so Roxanne should i tell my baby that I cant work because I cant fill my prescriptions because roxanne is just doing her job.

I feel the way you do if a person does it illegal without a legitmate injury/diagnosis....

Quoted From Post #15 (Roxanne): "You people should be ashamed of yourself taking all this dope which should only be prescribed to people dying of cancer of with other intractable chronic pain syndromes. We have decided to attack this from the demand side, which means users, which means you. When all drug addicts are locked up then the doctors can get back to doctoring. Here at the DEA we aim to shut this mess down one addict at a time. We are already moving in Florida, other states to follow. So instead of comparing two 15mg pills to one 30mg you people can get jobs and get lives instead of gloating over the fact you got meds you have no business having possession of in the first place."


Roxanne - listen here. First off it's none of your business what I, or anyone else in this world takes as medicine. I don't think you're in the DEA but you may be because they are filled with stupid ass **** ******s that sound like you. You're not a f***ing doctor, obviously your not intelligent enough to become one. You probably don't even have your high school diploma because you sound like an ignorant b**** from your one post. I honestly hope you get in a severe accident and it causes you horrible pain for the rest of your life like some of us. Hopefully you really injure your back or any type of chronic pain injury. And I hope you get a horrible piece of s*** doctor who feels like you do right now about pain patients. I hope he just recommends physical therapy that just makes the pain worse. Then you try spinal inj's. that do absolutely nothing but cause more pain. And the doctor only gives you Tylenol 800mgs and you have soo much pain you take bunches of them. And all the Tylenol you take ruins your liver. Then he recommends back surgery to fix your issues. You have the back surgery and it ends up making you paralyzed for the rest of your life and all that you can feel is pain. And finally, you end up dying due to all the damage the Tylenol did to your liver. That is exactly what you deserve you low life piece of s***. I usually say I don't wish my pain on anyone, but I do wish it for you. I wish it on you because stupid ****s like yourself that have no idea what it's like to live with chronic pain everyday run their mouth about something they have no idea about. People like you want to make it damn near impossible for me to live a somewhat normal life so I can work. You want to make it impossible for us to get our needed pain medication. So yes for you Roxanne, I hope you get in a horrible accident tonight. I don't hope you die, I hope you suffer with chronic pain. And die in terrible pain from all the bulls*** people like you have caused in medicine today. Goodnight.

Roxanne, the first thing I'd like to know is whether you drink alcohol, smoke cigs, etc ... Actually just alcohol ... Before you go calling people nasty names because they take a pain med. People, by the way, that you don't even know. You ought to get your head out of the other end. The most abused useless drug there is (in my opinion) is ALCOHOL. HOW dare you judge what you apparently have no experience in. Not all drinkers are alcoholics. Not all those that take pain meds are drug addicts. It's easy to throw stones when no one can call you to acct.

You are so wrong dude. Number one, you are not with the DEA, as they would never post to an f...ing blog! Number two, you have absolutely no business deciding that only cancer patients should be prescribed opiates. Yes, unfortunately they do end up in the wrong hands, people OD. Yes, that happens. However, I am a chronic pain girl and I just had my second back surgery, that is probably not going to get rid of all of all of my pain. I do not talk to anyone about being on meds. No gloating about it. I do not like taking them, but I would have absolutely no quality of life without these medications!

You will probably never see this, but your not the only one! I have the same problem a d go into withdrawals taking a less pill. The lower the mg the less effective.

Same here! Taking two 15mg morphine sulfate doesn't help. Taking one 30 mg does. I tried to explain this to my doctor but he wouldn't listen. Two 15s add up to 30. In his mind that's all that mattered

they slightly hit faster, because of the smaller dosage being metabolized by your cyp3a4 receptors at the same time however with the half Life of 3.5 hours is when I notice the biggest change... because a smaller mg upon half life even though it is two pills does not equal the same plasma bioavailability... so it's not the same... go to a different pharmacy
