Oxycodone Shortage In Canadian Pharmacies

Canada has had most of the oxymoron on back order for several months now. Our scripts get filled but they replaced them with what I consider second rate medicine. Lately I have been fortunate to receive my script with what I have been prescribed ..... But in Canada very few medical plans will cover any kind of opiate in the oxy family.

Hello, Andolian! How are you? I am very sorry about the problems that you're having.

What type of issues did you have with the ones you consider second rate?

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.

Sharing the specific details would be very informative. Thank you!

I'm a victim of the Oxy shortage in Canada. I've been on the time release Oxy for several years and now have been forced to take another, cheaper med that doesn't work and is making me sick! I can't find any current info on the reason for the shortage or when it will be available again, even the pharmacy doesn't know.

My meds were covered by my Gov't drug plan up until a few years ago when they decided to change it to the 'tamper proof version'. Even then they refused to cover it unless I tried a different, cheaper med for 3 months. On the advice of my doctor and pharmacist I decided to stay with the med that's been working for me and pay for it myself with my limited disability income. Now it's not available and I've been forced to take the other med.

Pros: the government will pay for it, Cons: it doesn't work and neither does my body!
