I recently switched pharmacies. Previously, I was taking 5mg IR oxycodone with the boxed M on one side and the 0552 on the scored side. With the new pharmacy, I have the same prescription, only the pills have a stylized V on one side and 4810 on the scored side. For some reason, I don't seem to get the same relief with the new pills.

For instance, there is a 5mg tablet manufactured by Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals that is small, white, round and has an M in a box on one side and the numbers 0552 on the other. There is one manufactured by Vintage/Qualitest Pharmaceuticals that also meets this description and has a stylized V on one side and the numbers 4810 on the opposite. There's another that matches this made by Mallinckrodt that has the boxed M on one side and just a 5 over a score line on the other. Another white one with cor on one side and 224 on the other. The white one by KVK Tech has the imprint K 18. And that isn't even all of the 5mg tablets o...
