Oxycontin 80mg Green Tab (Top voted first)

I came across some green pills that look like OC 80's but they are imprinted with APO on one side and OCD 80 on the other. Can someone please tell me what they might be?

What a great thread; keep it coming folks.

First off, I want to say that the people who have never lived/worked with long-term-pain, will never understand what is being said here, and that the desperation being described here, and in relation to, has to do with the relief of that pain (in the short term) and NOT with getting "HIGH".
Getting HIGH, as described by those who do NOT live/work with long-term-pain is what is causing the confusion and marginalization in the system. Marginalizing those who DO live/work with long-term-pain. The short term relief of their condition and its associated euphoria is NOT "getting high". In fact, it is only the condition of reaching a state of normality. Even if for only a very short interval.

It's 2015 folks (doctors/system), and "Pain Management" is the buzz phrase that will get you started down the right track. (stoners be damned)
Is it addictive? Am I addicted? Yes, I am!
I'm addicted to the pain relief that I get and being/working/living, in a state of normality. Is this addiction? I think it IS, but it should be regarded as the kind of addiction that is recognised, by doctors and the system, as not only being acceptable, but encouraged, as a way to manage life injuries in order to return these people to activity AND as being productive members of our society.

I am one of these people (the latter) that has an MRI confirming the need for such.
So, why do I also get the run-around? Politics; it's all about the politics of the "drugs"; However, WE, should be shielded from this BS by our physicians.
THAT IS THEIR JOB. To determine that we are legitimate (for the system, on our behalf) and then, to give me the G-Damn script.

Rant switch OFF,
Some good info here, and I'd like to continue,
I hold down a 12hr a day job and a 6-fig salary.
I've run the gambit of hypnotics, nortriptyline for example,
TRY IT, and similar (it may work for you) I got GREAT pain relief with it, however, even after giving it a chance (2-months) it still messed with my brain, mood-swings, hot-flashes (NEVER drink alcohol with any hypnotic-EVER) happiness is dependent on dosage. Not for me, but as with everyone living with long-term-pain; you have to try it for yourself, and then say yay or nay.
OXY, no sides, and not high.

I work all day/night, 12-18hr shifts. I push through, every day. Clean, nothing.
I get home, OXY, I get a "break" from the pain, the suffering, I can sleep. Then I get up and FIGHT, all day.

No OXY, no break, from the pain and suffering. Nothing else works for me. Like a toothache that has no ending; EVER. Day after day, after day. It will drive you mad.
I told my doc, the day you stop the oxy, is the day you sign my long-tern dis-papers.

Are these pills available on pharmacy shelves now? Cause I have called them and they say that they have nothing on there system showing that they are available. I'm in Toronto perhaps you are in another area than me? Also, has there been any prices quoted for these meds? Thanks in advance to any1 who replys.

So Jay what are you suggesting, people suffer through pain because you personally beleive pain pills are bad? ...well you obviously don't know anyone that have suffered extreme pain so you can't comment on the subject, ponder the thought of people who have no other fate but death, and just want to live out the remainder of theyre life in peace...

lots of things ruin peoples lives even if somone abuses pain pills, most people abuse or take for granted most things/substances around them, its human nature to be glutonous pigs, who doesnt enjoy a peice of chocolate cake?

what you and most others around fail to realize that the cost of the drug on the street is what overwhelmingly contributes to the ruining of peoples lives, is not so much the actuall addiction!, but instead the financial strain afflicted upon individuals, not to mention the lack of addiction and recovery serveces available for the public, marijuanna is another story all together, but its the same idea anyways, you stick to youre ancient chinese medicine/therapy and allow the health and science experts around the world how to determine what is accepted as cutting edge pain management...

btw the neo's are the ones that are'nt covered by social drug plans, i dont think the generics are either but the generics are cheaper out of pocket anyway...

Apotex Canada had just released generic oxycontins all strengths. They are still not covered but are out there. ( ( if you want to see for yourself go to Apotex Canada & pull up document released March 22/2013. This will show all drugs newly released but just scroll down to oxycontin )If you need them ask your pharmacy to order them from Apotex because they can & they know it.Now Dr.'s will want to know why anyone wants the generics instead of the neo's because chemically they are supposed to be exactly the same. The only difference however is a biggy. The coating that prevents the crushing etc is a documented cancer causing agent. . Drs. shouldn't & not likely will deny you if you mention this because they know if God forbid you did develop cancer,,they could be sued & make their life miserable even if not a successful suit.If you need the oxycontin for your health go for it . Hopefully Drs. will know their patients & not end up over prescribing because this is how all of this mess started. It wasnt the addicted it was the DRs. They are responsible for putting them out there like tic tacs. Just because they have a DR in front of their name doesn't mean they get a free " not responsible " pass

From what I could gather, this pill is in fact confirmed to be controlled release Oxycodone/Oxycontin (80mg). The paragraph quoted below describes it in more detail:

"APO-OXYCODONE CR 80 mg: Each tablet contains 80 mg oxycodone hydrochloride. Green, round, biconvex film-coated tablets, engraved “APO†on one side, “OCD†over “80†on the other side. Available in bottles of 50 and 100 tablets."

Manufacturer: Apotex, Canada
DIN: 02366789

I hope this helps!

Yes they are generic oxycontin. Purdue's patent expired on the original oxycontin formula. Health Canada granted permission to 6 pharmaceutical companies to begin making them available to patients that prefer an alternative to Purdue's "tamper proof" OxyNeo. APO OCD 80's are basically old oxycontin tablets. Let's just hope that addicts and junkies leave them alone so that patients with real needs do not get punished by Health Canada pulling them off the shelves. They are a much cheaper alternative to oxyneo...so to many patients without Blue Cross or some type of health insurance this is a true blessing. Hope this answers some questions for you. Cheers!

"Let's hope the Junkie's leave them alone."

LOL -- I can tell you the Junkies can't be happier that there back. I hope your in pain, cause more people's lives are ruined by this drug then people's crippling pain is solved. And I hate to tell you, your probably addicted as well and if you think your solving you pain problem by masking it with this drug your wrong.

BBB-yes it was a partial script, he was reluctant to give them to me so he actually initially said he would give me a week at a time. The pharmacy only had the 80 mg available, so he gave me 6 of those and the next day 42 of the 40s. I am sooooo happy, I hate those damn oxy neos and have spent a small fortune paying for them. I'm a student and currently unemployed, and I just maxxed out my university coverage ($2000). A two week supply of oxy neos were $150. I paid $23 for the 6 80 mg and $73 for the 42 40 mg. Actually, my bf paid thank goodness because I didn't have the money. I have no idea what they are going for on the street but I'm thinking 50$ for 80 mg and probably around 25-30$ for the 40s, because they will be so hard to get.
The pharmacy I go to is extremely reasonable they know I am struggling financially. I was waiting for the oxycontin to come back because I knew the patent had expired in 2013. I'm very happy with them, and my doctor is a saint. I asked him if he had prescribed them to anyone yet, he said no. So I am his only patient, but I guarantee most people aren't aware they are back.

The Apotex or "APO" tablets seem to be the best or strongest for pain relief out of the three brands I've tried thus far. I've yet to try the "riva" or the "sandoz" brands yet.

Just like it would be to hang 1 innocent person to make sure you get the other guilty people. Nobody should be denied this med if it works best for your pain, addicts will just and always do find another drug to get high on. Hydromorph Contin and Opana are just as abuseable so why are they available? I hope you never have bad pain where you want to die and somebody says no you have to suffer because it is not available because others abuse it. The are over 20 different drugs that have oxycodone in them, plenty of alternatives for the abusers to choose from.

You know all this ignorance of "junkies" is horrible if the people were not selling their prescriptions than there would be no issue of addicts so instead of dumping on addicts why don't u dump on the people who are pretending to be sick and need theses and turning around selling them .they are the real PROBLEM!!!

I've had the Teva-Oxycodone CR 40's and the PMS-Oxycodone CR 60's, all generic forms are paid for by gov insurance in Quebec. The government of ontario is freaking out more than the american government did when they came up with the OP....yet australians and the UK (the UK is junky-central) still have regular OC's. Anyways, both of these generics were good.

It's much easier to be scripted Supeudol/Oxy IR's. The 20mg ones (strongest) 2 to 3 times a day covers my incredibly fkd left tmj disorder and compressed/damaged nerves near them. After years of my neurologist scripting me bulls*** like topamax and trileptal for my pain issues he finally gave me generic 40mg tevas without me even asking, here in quebec if there is a generic they will usually go straight for it, he just wrote Oxycodone CR 40 on my first script and 60 on my second which is why I got to try 2 brands. Qc government won't pay (completely) for the Neos, lol.
