I am prescribed 30mg oxycodone 3 times per day. A few got damp and I need to know if they will still be effective and if they are ok to take? ## If they just got damp, they should be fine, though a little of the medication may have dissolved. However, I'd suggest double checking with your doctor or pharmacist. 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? ## my oxycodone15mg meds my soda spilled in bottle meds r they still good i have alot of chronic pain ## So I put my oxycodone 30mg pills in my cupholder, didn't realize it was wet and my pills blew up but kept their shape and color.

Dropped my 20mg Roxicodone in rainwater and it dissolved completely in 44mL. How can I dry the rainwater out of it in hopes of salvaging my medication? ## Hi - I’m not sure if I fully understand the question, but I think the short answer is “you can’t”. I don’t think you could reconstitute the pill, or evaporate the rainwater and ingest any powder that’s left. I think the best you could do is swallow the dissolved pill with the rainwater. ## I don’t think you can and I wouldn’t recommend drinking the rain water because that’s how you get parasites. It’s really a shame that if something like this happens, we have to suffer because there isn’t an extra pale as a buffer to replace this one. I’m sorry. ## As the others ...

I have a serious problem. My dr. had two patients start dr. shopping and has decided it is too big of a pain in his butt to continue prescribing, even though I have gotten MRIs and Xrays to prove my problems. I have over a half a dozen herniated discs in my low back, along with degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, scoliosis and arthritis in my facet joints. I am currently on5 30mg oxycodone a day for breakthrough and 60mg of methadone for my long lasting meds. I REALLY need a doctor in the Denver, CO area who will not judge me because of my age, thinking I'm just some drug seeker as I TRULY need my meds to function. I am even being placed on disability until I can get my back healed because if something doesn't change I will be in big time pain for the rest of my life. If...

After taking M 30 Oxycodone my small pharmacy changed me to K9 30mg Oxycodone. The K9's are not taking away my pain at all. Anyone else had the same problem with K9's? ## Hi Maggie, I may not have personal experience with this, but according to a number of reviews I've read from other users, these particular pills are touted as one of the less potent brands on the market; only working sometimes - depending on your tolerance and severity of pain. I can only speculate that the manufacturer (KVK-Tech) probably could've changed out certain binders and fillers, as this often has an effect the overall absorption of the drug itself. This might also explain why it's not managing your pain very well. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Oxycodone Details Has any...

I started taking oxycodone 15mg 4x a day that was tues. an they want me to come in for urine test thurs. ! will it be in my system enough to get an accurate reading?I was upped my dosage cause 3 wasnt helping much! So wont i need to be on it 4 times a day for at least a week for them to see a difference? ## Your levels should go up within hours of taking the new amount and it is most likely that they know how long it will take to show up and are aware of what the elevating levels should be. Learn more Oxycodone details here. If you're that concerned, then just remind them when you go in for the test that you've only been taking the new dosage for a couple of days. Are there any other questions or comments? ## When they do a urine test (send it to lab) can they tell that i was of...

Small white pill with the letter K with a solid line in the middle and the number 18. ## Based on the description provided, I found your white round pill to be Oxycodone hydrochloride (5 mg). Manufacturer: KVK Tech Inc. Oxycodone comes in various forms and is used to treat moderate to severe levels of pain. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Oxycodone Details If you have any more questions or concerns, please post back and I will be happy to help you. ## I have had the K19 pill before and it works for pain. The K18 pill seems not to help at all?? Whats going on Here. The pharmacy label states it has 5mg of Oxycodone but it does not have any effect compared to the K19 pill also supposed to have 5mg of Oxycodone in it? I dont get it????

Just moved to Phx AZ, please help with finding a dr or pain mgmt who will prescribe 5-10mg oxycodone & 3 hydrocodone a day as only this combination is successful in handling my severe pain for 3 yrs but my new pain mgmt here will not allow the 2 together!! thank you for you help, most sincerely ## Unfortunately, since in essence it is doubling up on the same class of medication, it's going to be very difficult to find a doctor that will prescribe both. Generally. a regular release, or instant release is prescribed along with a time released medication, but it is not common to be prescribed two regular release opiates. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry ...

I am prescribed roxicodone 30mg, 4 a day. I have been suffering from chronic neck and back pain for the past 12 yrs. The pain medication works really well, but I guess my body has got immune to it and they dont seem to last as long. He doesnt want to increase the amount but they do not last the whole month. I have been obtaining a few percocets to get me through. My question is, when they drug test me to make sure I'm taking my meds, will the percocet show up the same as the roxy or should I quit taking it? I cant afford to lose my script but I also need to get out of bed and get things done. Any help would be appreciated, thanx ## Percocet is the same thing as a roxicodone... Roxicodone is just stronger than a Percocet but they are the exact same medication. ## Only take the medica...

I am moving to Mobile in two months. I am trying to find a cronic pain management doctor that will continue to prescribe me 180 30mg Oxycodone. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ## Unfortunately, there is no listing of doctors that I can refer to for you according to what they will or will not prescribe. Additionally, if you call around and ask if they'll prescribe such a medication, most doctors will view that as drug seeking behavior and not even let you get in the door. What you'll actually need to do is get yourself set up with a new PCP in your new area, then see if they can refer you to a pain specialist. That would likely be the quickest way to get the help you need. Does anyone know of a good doctor in that area? This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the po...

It has no numbers on it and it is fancy V and scored on the other side That is all that is on the pill ## If that is the only marking on it, then that makes me suspect that it's most likely and over the counter product, which could make it hard to track down. Where did you find it? Knowing your general location may help, since some products are regional. ## One half white round scored pill V on the bottom half and ending numbers 34 or 84 on top ## Oxycodone 5mg Fancy "v" on one side Scored line through the other side Small white round pill ## My doctor prescribed for me , it has a v on one side and a16 on the other

What's stronger, u17 or watson 853? ## Hello, Kiss! How are you? I'm happy to help clear this up for you. The tablet with the U17 marking is manufactured by Aurolife Pharma and they list it as containing 10mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. The tablet with the WATSON 853 marking is manufactured by Watson Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 10mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. Oxycodone is slightly stronger than Hydrocodone, so the one with the U17 marking is the stronger analgesic. The FDA lists 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. Is there anything else I can help with? ## BEWARE! Watson 853 is NO...

Which oxycodone is the strongest, that relieves the pain. I was just prescribed the U 17? ## I BEEN TAKING OXYCODONES 10/325 4 TIMES A DAY AND THERES TIMES I HAVE TO TAKE TWO. PLUS I TAKE 15 MGS MORPHINE ONE EVERY 6 HRS IT JUST DOES'NT WORK THAT WELL AFTER TAKING THEM FOR 2 YRS ## The U17 have been prescribed to me on and off for about a year. I've had a generic Percocet prescription for several years. The U17 seem to have no active ingredient in them. I go through withdrawal-like symptoms (chills, tiredness, nausea, vomiting) for about 3-5 days when this is all that my pharmacy has to give me. The difference between this pill and others is rather scary for patients that have valid reasons for the prescription. A sugar pill may be more effective. The FDA needs to look in to the ...

I filled a prescription for 10 mg generic oxycodone at a pharmacy in Mexico. It is a round white pill with no markings at all. It came in a sealed bottle that says "PERCO 10 mg". Below that, it says "Oxycodone 10 mg". In small print, it states that is manufactured for Generic Lab Inc. Corona CA by Purdue Pharmaceuticals. It even lists the US Patents for the drug. Is this a legit generic drug they were able to release without any markings in Mexico? I only took it once and they did nothing. Should I be afraid to take them? ## It is hard to know for sure. Mexico really does not regulate their medications like the U.S., Canada, and some other countries. Thus, there is no way to be sure what these tablets contain. The FDA warns that Oxycodone carries the risk of being habit ...

My pain clinic uses an icup test. I'm pretty sure it is a 12 or 13 panel test. Does oxycodone and oxycontin show up as an opiate and under oxy? ## Yes that's what they are. Hydro is a opiate also but it shows up as morphine for some weird reason. ## Yes, just as Thomas said, Oxycodone is an opiate narcotic and can be detected as such. The NIH warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. How did your test turn out? ## Can oxycodone show up on a drug screen for opiates? Or does oxy have its own spot on a screen?

Hello. I was just given a refill of 5-325 Oxycodone/Acetaminophen (Percocet). These pills are much smaller than the large white pills I normally take (8 yrs). These new pills have RP on one side. So far I have taken 2 and they don't feel as strong as what I'm used to. Can anyone comment if in fact this is a good generic or should I avoid getting them in the future? ## Hi Tom, I can't say for sure whether or not their quality/potency is comparable to other manufacturers, but if they aren't as strong as what you're used to taking, one theory I had is that the manufacturer (Rhodes Pharmaceuticals) may be using a different set of binders and fillers (inert ingredients) than their counterparts from other manufacturers. According to numerous patient reviews I'm seeing ...

I've been driving around this god forsaken state for days trying to fill a legit prescription. 15 mg Oxy. About to start withdrawal soon because of this state "cracking down" Pharmacies are not allowed to order it and as soon as it's in it is gone in hours because everyone who needs it is desperately searching. I have cancer and also have 6 herniated discs and been on this for a year. 8 per day I have one pill left and I seriously can't live or function w/out this at the moment. I hate this state. Withdrawal is terrifying not to mention the physical pain is unbearable. Anyone have any advice? I've been to 8 pharmacies in two days... Back order, no idea when it will be in. Not allowed to order it for me. If I drive to another state do you think I will be able to f...

Does anyone have any experience with this particular medication. I see that their are lots of complaints on there generic percoset, but I'm talking of just plain oxycodone 15 mg made by alvogen, any information would be great & most appreciated. Again not their percoset version, I'm speaking of plain oxycodone w/ no Tylenol. I cannot take tylenol as it causes my liver to have problems. Thank You! ## Hello, Peggy O! How are you? I've not run across any complaints posted on here, so far, from those that have been taking it. Alvogen is generally a reputable company that manufactures effective medications. 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. Ca...
