I am wondering if there is a manufacturer of oxycontin other then purdue? I am taking oxycontin 80 mlgm, and purdue has changed the medication, and it does not work for me with what they have done to it.

I am so furrious with the company for protecting the misusers and not taking the people who take it for the right reason. I got such a bad stomach ache, burning acid reflux feeling. I had to and get somethingt at 3 in the morning. has anyone contacted purdue to see what there reaction is to this. They are definitly not the same medication. the peop;le who were abusing it will just find another drug to abuse. Someone told me that now they heard more of the abusers are looking for morphine now. so it is not going to stop, If someone wants to abuse the meds they will find it somewhere else.

I am not sure what is going on with the generic Oxycontin, Sometimes they are available and others not. If you are in reference to the inability to misuse the new OP/80 there are always a way and Purdue Pharma knows this and so does the FDA. My suggestion is take them in the proper manner.

Thank you, thank you, soooo much for all yall's support and replies on this matter. I went to the pharmacy and demanded my money back, and they refused. I filed a report and they made it seem like if I wasnt a dope fiend then I would not have a problem taking the tamper proof 80 mlg. When I explained that they made me sick, and (sorry to be so blunt) when I vomited, the whole entire pill came up in one slimy, gooey ball. Now you tell me how that is going to come close to touching my pain as I am a cancer patient myself? I wish sooo much that for those idiots that abuse them, that I could just reach out and grab their hand, and just a fathom of the pain I experiance on a daily basis would shoot into their body. They would fall down and beg to pass away. The worst thing about it yall, is that I had NO earthly idea that there was going to be a change. Had I of known, then maybe by this time, I would of slowly been able to be introduced to another medication that might work for me, but now, I am absolutely left to do what the dope fiends do, and that is to call the pharmacys and ask if they have the original brand. If they dont, I move on to the next one. I pray that yall find come comfort in whatever direction you need to go in order to find some pain relief. My advise is just do the same as I have been. Thanks for your time, sylver.

Actavis is a manufacturer of generic Oxycontin, my insurance will only pay for generic. They have not reformulated.

a few years back a company did make generic oxycontin and they were just as good as perdue's. they were pink instead of green. anyway perdue sued them for making them just as good. so our hopes of another drug company making them is out the door. perdue will not allow it.

I am going to see my oncologist. I had to have a new prescription written and will have it filled with the old oc not op they have made me so sick went to the hospital yesterday. There has to be something I am allergic to and also no pain relief, just alot of sleep. My prescription calls for 2 80's every 12 hours. I have been completely comfortable and energetic. One op makes me dizzy, nauseated, in more pain and sleepy. Will let everyone know what happens with my oncologist and the pharmacy should have explained that these pills had changed.

Actually, it wasn't Purdue that made the generic manufacturer's stop, it was the U.S. FDA. They are trying to prevent the severe diversion and abuse that has been going on with this medication.

https:/­/­rxchat.com/­wiki/­OxyContin/­

To contact them and the FDA with any complaints, please use the following numbers:


Purdue Pharma number for drug safety/medication issues:

888.726.7535


FDA MedWatch number:

800-332-1088


Are there any questions I can answer for you?

I've been taking the 80mg ocmfor about 4 yrs now. Just yesrterday I receieved my rx and they are the ops. I take the pills properly, and oh my what a difference it's almost as if I have to take twice as many tablets but yet i get a nasty taste in my throat and mouth, itchiness, irritable, and extreamly sleepy. There is no way that i can function normally throughout the day. I called Purdue and all they had to say is well if you take the pi;; correctly, you should not notice any difference thats BS, i told her and and started arguing and she hung up on me.
You know we should get a class-action law suit filed againist them regarding number one the formulation of the pilll and the effects that it is having on us, such as pain and suffering??? I dont know, Im not leagally educated to know if anything is possable?? Can anyone help this situation for us???

To Sea Says: how were you able to get the oc's filled. It was my understanding that once they are gone that is it. all that will be available is the op's. I will never understand why we who have been taking them the way they were intended to have to suffer because of all the abusers. I know there is something in the op pill that makes you sick, and prevents the medication from being an active form. I have never misused the med. but now I have to suffer because of the idiots who did. Although we may just be wasting our breath, I wish there was some way to get back what was taken from us. I am not oblivious to the ones who have suffered loss of loved ones. But if it were not these I truly think it would have been something else! This is not going to stop drug abuse.

to DFont The pharmacy had told me they had 33 in stock. My oncologist wrote a new prescription and i filled those and have felt fine. I live in Las Vegas but now must fly to Louisiana where my oncologist is because of this change. This op has caused me to be hospitalized now fly to Baton Rouge. I think that the pharnacy should have told me what i was getting before charging me 1412.00 then i spent another 364.0 on the real ones. I filed a report with the fda.gov/medwatch and the pharmacist is calling purdue to try and get reimbursed for the op's and stated she needed to call the DEA which i told her she should. These op's do not work and they make you deathly ill. Like i said, I am a cancer patient and i take as prescribed and have a somewhat normal life. With the op's i became bed bound again. I think everyone should file a report the the fda and to purdue. The drug abusers will find something else to abuse so leave us alone.

to Sea Says. I could not agree more. This is the worst thing to have happened. They took a med. that worked very well and now it untollarrable. Just so not fair why we have pay for the idiot abusers.
