White Oblong Pill With A333 (Page 3)
(Newest replies first)

This a333 is generic for percocet and CVS is dispensing them, OXYCODONE 10/3.25 is what they are.

Hi marcy, so sorry to hear you are not getting any pain relief. The actavis brand is the worst there is no oxycodone in it and there are many people going through withdrawals because of it. May I ask what did you get at Walmart that was working for you I mean what manufacturer did they give you that helped with your pain? I am looking for an alternative as well now that there is no more Watson. Thanks for any information.

It is 2:59am and I am in extreme pain. I have been taking percocet for 5 months. Ive gotten 2 perscriptions from CVS, the 1st one i had to go to the emergency room for nausea and pain. I went to CVS and told them they needed to change my pills out that i got "a bad batch" they acted like i was crazy. I got the manufacturers info and called and complained and they sent me a refund check then later sent me an email stating their pills were tested and they were fine, so i started to think something was wrong with me. I later got my refills at Wal-Mart and was fine. This last script when i went to get filled everyone was out and i went to CVS, i have been in servere pain since i got the ones from CVS, I thoight i was just getting worse, which has been causing depression. I googled this manufacturer and saw all of these comments and was shocked but relived to know this is not in my head and that it is this brand of medication. My doctor will not give me a new perscription he said something about the law and drug addicts. I even tried to give him the entire bottle back all except for 3 pills. This is so not cool, im hurting so bad i can barely breathe. Something needs to be done. I can be a witness or something if someone knows how we can stop this company from selling these bogus pills.

The Actavis a333 does not work!!!!I have been taking Watson and Mallinkrodt for 3 years and never had a single issue.

Then 2 months ago...I was given Actavis a349. It worked almost as good as the watson. The next month...I was given Actavis a333...it didn't work at all.

Its the a333 FORMULATION that's the issue.

I called Actavis and filed a complaint. They agreed but said they couldn't replace them so I'm stuck in pain..I hope they start supplying a formula that works and stop ripping us off....a lot of people have been affected.

I've seen posts since January 2014 about a333 pills.....and so many complaints!

By calling Actavis about their bad a333 pills...they will refund you the cost of the pills which is a lot of money for most of us.

We have to suffer for the rest of the month so its better to complain than put up with it.... because the next month...were going to get the same a333 pills again as almost all the pharmacies have Actavis now.

When you call and get voice mail...leave a message. They will call you back in a couple of days to follow up...,Below is the phone number:

Hi, you are NOT alone. Since Actavis came out there are thousands of us suffering including myself. Were you taking the Watson 10/325. In my area I cannot find them anymore and have been told they are not being made anymore. I have also tried the brand name 5/325 percocet and it doesn't work for me either. It feels like I took a sugar pill that made me sleepy. This is devastating to so many of us. If we all report this to Actavis and file a complaint with Medwatch and the FDA something will have to be done. Maybe not today, but if we all report the awful side effects along with giving us placebo sugar pills that don't even touch the pain, they will have to look into this. There are just TOO many of us not getting pain relief and getting so sick. I had terrible stomach issues along with anxiety and feeling like my head was going to explode. Nobody should take the Actavis in any strength as it will only ruin your health and make you sick. It is just not worth it and if you have to double up and take more than you did in the past, you risk really getting sick. This Actavis stuff is a FAKE and it is poison. How they can get away with letting us take this crap is beyond me.

I too have suffered from receiving the Actavis A333 pill - it has to be worst on market. Not only did I get sick, have severe stomach problems, It Does Absolutely Nothing for Pain!! Pharmacies around our area are supplied with this form of cheap generic oxy/acet 10-325 now. Regular pharm was out of my normal brand. Sine the 10-325 are so difficult to get in our area, Pharm suggested the lower mg of 5-325, Well just so Everyone Know's Actavis Now Produces and distributes them - I again had problems with this Brand, felt ill & did Not provide Any Pain RELIEF! Since it was lower mg, dr said take 2 to help until my regular brand came in, I did not vomit, but felt as if I was and had bad stomach aches, not to mention still in a lot of Pain. Something in this Brand does not agree with me & I wont ever take this crap Brand again.

Just saw your post. I recently was given this variation of oxycodin with A333 on it. This particular brand has caused me some stomache discomfort and does NOT seem as strong as the previous generic brand. I have reported this to my Dr. and he has specified on his new Rx to not substitute to this generic. He wrote DAW, dispense as written on the form.

Hello. I also switched to hydrocodone 10/325 and I made sure they were Watson. Watson still makes those. They only stopped making generic percocet. These work great! I was on watson percocet 10/325 before these.

I'm so sorry... I also called the corporate # of Walgreens to tell them of my complaint.. The cust. Serv. Rep.. Said that Actavis was making the medication less stronger & they were goin get rid of the OxyCodone period.. Because of the abuse of Dr. & people buying them to feel high.. I was so upset.. I told her how can u not tell the consumer that.. Who knows what they put in A333.. I just left my PM Dr. He gave me a script for hydrocodone 10/325.. I took it... But I'm not taking it to Walgreens... I know.. I'm sure that the hydro's are less stronger than the oxy's... My cousin.. Has Endocet.. Which contains OxyCodone & acetamephine 10/325... The MFG is Endo pharmaceutical... They did help me... She gets it from a small drug strore... You are right, Riley.. It's all about Money!!! For Walgreens.. Who gets it cheaper.. & Actavis not caring.. & false advertisement.. & As far as the A333 being generic for Percocet.. They all are a bunch of Liars!!! I hope this info helps you.. So your Dr. Can prescribe Endocet.. They work.. I've tried brand Name & generic.. But remember Endo pharmaceuticals.. K.. Talk to u soon.. Good Luck

Ana & to Everyone, I received 2nd letter from Actavis re: my complaint, First letter was apologetic, this letter Not - They stated they tested my lot # (however they cld me 3x asking for my lot # and I did not have it) & found No reason my complaints. All meds in this lot met all specified requirements, therefore No determined cause for subjects complaint! They are dismissing my complaint in my opinion & did not even have my complaint narrative correct, they had it as drug ineffectiveness, when infact it was medication poisoning, sever vomiting, upper Gi problems, ineffectiveness was the last thing on my complaint as I could only keep down the med for 30 minutes at the most, in which it did not help. Anyway, so much for the complaints!!

Diane, Watson bought Actavis but is going by the Actavis name now & using Actavis cheap generic brand of oxycodone/acetaminophen. Hope this helps some.

To Everyone: I received another letter from Actavis, the first one was very apologetic, this one however states: My complaint in conclusion There Are NO Assignable cause determined for the subject complaint! I want to mention that they have my Complaint Narrative as Patient Experienced drug ineffectiveness, which is one of them but NOT the MAIN One of my complaint, The Main one was Medication Poisoning, Vomiting, Upper GI Problems, then ineffectiveness however I could keep only keep down for maybe 30 minutes. Anyway, they called me 3 times and wanted Lot # for the med I received, I did not have it as I no longer had med. This letter states they took a sample of the lot # I received, analyzed it and the results met all required specifications, the batch records did not reveal anything negative, the finished product met all specifications in all trials during manufacturing! Therefore No reason for my complaint. Then there are the usual we do all required diagnostics etc before any of our products are released, all is FDA approved. They did not have my lot # before but now they received it? Maybe true, idk, But I do know my complaint was medication poisoning, upper gi problems & this is all back up from Hospital records. Actavis is totally in my opinion Dismissing my complaint and leaving it at that! I simply cannot understand that with all the problems people are having with this particular A333 pill that Actavis will continue to dispense this med or the FDA would allow it, its Cheap, it causes a lot of issues for people & there is a problem with it, I know first hand there is! I guess in reality the main thing is This makes Actavis/Watson a lot of money dispensing this cheap generic so called pain med & they don't care about the side effects people are having. They are not going to admit there is an issue with it, Its all about the Money!. This second letter doesn't even say we are sorry this happened to you! Anyway, Just thought I would bring this to everyone's attention if you filed a complaint with Actavis. I realize everyone's system is different & not everyone has had a problem with this med, But from what I see & heard, There Are More people who have had Issues then Not. Good Luck to everyone. I hope no one has to suffer what I went thru with this med.

I am confused I thought Actavis acquired Watson and that is why we can't get anymore Watson is that correct? I thought Watson was bought out by Actavis not the other way around.

Really, Thanks for sharing this info. I know our Walgreens around here are notorious for not knowing what they are talking about & very snotty to say the least! Well I should say 2 stores in particular around my area are like this. One of these stores Pick & Choose who they fill meds for as well. I happened to be standing in line at this store waiting my turn & heard whole conversation, when a lady 2 spots in front of me was told they were out of her pain med didn't know when they would have it etc:, this lady said how can this be, I come here monthly, you told me if I transferred all meds here, I would never have a problem, I need my meds for my cancer, they said we don't have it, then walked away from her. Then someone needing one of the same pain meds gives person script, they chit chat, call each other by name & gets script filled on the spot! Its happened more than once, people complain and manager does nothing. After seeing this first hand how Walgreens treated this woman, I transferred my meds to another pharmacy. Anyway, thanks for the info.

Ana I talked to my grandfather which I posted below he is a pharmacists and he told me that the rep at Walgreens didn't give you the correct information. Oxycodone is not being discontinued at all. He stated the rep must of not knew what they were talking about or in a hurry to get you off the phone. He said you can call all the manufactors of oxycodone and they will tell you the same thing.

As I had stated in my earlier post that my grandfather is a pharmacists at krogers pharmacy. I just talked to him about what Ana had stated about what Walgreens told her about oxycodone being taken off the market. Whoever you spoke to at Walgreens Ana told you 10000000% wrong. This medication is not being discontinued what so ever. I'm thinking the rep at Walgreens corporate was just telling you that maybe to hurry you off the phone or they just had no clue as to what they were speaking about. I'm sorry that rep told you that but they told you very very incorrectly. I would file a complaint against the rep from Walgreens that misinformed you. But that's just my thoughts on the matter. I was also at Walgreens today and I didn't see any of the signs that other posters have mentioned... can someone please explain/tell me what they said? Thanks

Ana, I wonder if she really knows what she is talking about? I mean, this med makes Huge bucks for these Drug Manufacturers, but with this Actavis med on the market, maybe this is their way of getting rid of all the abuse, Take this Med & you will get Sick? It does make sense to take the Oxycodone off market because of the all the abusers, deaths & my PM dr told me they are putting Vicoden(hydrocodone) in the same class as the Oxy slowly, that med will not be able to be cld in to pharmacy soon & it used to be you could get both Oxycodone & hydrocodone filled at same time, you cannot do that anymore, Pharmacies will not fill both. I had to get both scripts as most of the time the pharmacies were out of my regular Oxycodone, so I would get the hydrocodone filled, when my regular med came in - they started to not fill it for me because I had gotten the hydrocodone. I used to take just 1 oxy a day and have the vicoden for breakthrough pain, Not anymore, pain of course changed, & my PM dr would not give me 2 scripts anyway, so I take 4 a day & again my pain is not managed after same treatment plan for almost 3 yrs, so I have to go on different treatment plan which I look forward to as there are somedays I cannot get out of bed due to pain & from sounds of it, new treatment plan is a must if they do away with the Oxycodone all together. I just cannot see them totally getting away with that though, so many patients function on that med, it does Help patients with pain, people are going to suffer tremendously & then start abusing another pain med, then what are they going to take that off market as well? The Pill Mill drs are mostly to blame, but so are some pharmacies Walgreens & CVS for dispensing this med to known abusers & dispensing the med that are written by known & black listed Pill Mills Drs. That was on the news, both Pharm got sued for Millions & Millions, one of the Walgreens that got sued is in my town! I am really concerned about this now.I am going to research this, if u find out more, let me know & I will with you. Take Care & lets pray for some alternative
