Fake Percocet 10 325

I've read where people say it's IMPOSSIBLE to fake the yellow 10/325 percocet and whoever believes that is sadly mistaken. The biggest sign is that sometimes the yellow is a little worn or the pill had white spots on it. The second is that the instant the water hits your mouth they almost instantly dissolve and you can hardly swallow the chalk in your mouth. The third and most important sign is this: if you hold a prescription pain killer up to the light it had a sort of gloss/sheen to it. The fakes do not have this. The only exception would be if the pills were REALLY old they may have lost their sheen. But for me, that is the biggest thing. Fakes are rare, but don't be so naive. INVESTIGATE. People are crazy. ## While it may be good to know the difference between fake tabl...

I recently picked up some 10/325 Percocet and the imprint looks legit but the pills break apart extremely easy. They're either very old or fake. I notice that immediately around the edges looks really rough...almost like they went through the washer or something. Is there an easy way to tell the difference between old pills and fake pills? I can break them with my hand really easily but it seems like you'd be able to do this if they were put in water or something. ## If you got them from a pharmacy they are legimate. Sometimes the appearance and consistency of medications change with different manufacturers. ## Sounds like the ones that just about took my life. If they didn't come from a pharmacy then its definitely not worth the risk of your life! The edges have a bit of a ...

There are a couple of untrustworthy people that my wife hangs around with who are constantly stealing my percocet 10/325. I am seraching for a decoy that will be useless to them the next time they steal them. I can't find anything from a u.s. pharmacy that will do the trick. Are there any foreign pharmacies or over the counter products who make what i need? ## @Jim, It sounds like your best bet would probably be to get a hidden video camera/recorder set up so you can see and hear exactly who's taking your medicine. Stealing a prescription is a federal offense, so showing evidence to the police should enable them to put a warrant out for this person's arrest. Unfortunately there's no other legitimate pharmaceutical pills that look alike since the markings are so unique he...

A friend of mine had some of these and they made her sick. I had to have her stomach pumped. We saw on this website where these were fake pills. Is there any truth to this? ## Hi Melissa, A white oblong shaped pill with M523 on one side and 10/325 on the back is reportedly identified as a generic Acetaminophen + Oxycodone HCL tablet, made by Mallinckrodt. For verification, you can visit the following National Drug Code link: 0406-0523 Having said this, her pill does fit the description of a real product... However if she isn't going through her doctor to obtain a prescription then they could be anything pressed and shaped to look like something real. I'm not insinuating that this is the case here, but she shouldn't have to question their legitimacy if she filled a prescripti...

There are some pills going around that say percocet 10 325 on them but are clearly not. Where do these come from? ## Hello, Wondering one! How are you? As to your question, I have to say that your guess is as good as anyone else's. There are always people out there creating fake pills to try to milk people out of money. There are also foreign sources that aren't reliable for sending what people actually order. Where did you see them? The FDA classifies Percocet as 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. ## We all wish we knew that on here! Those are very bad pills and have killed a lot of ppl. Almost killed me! They are light yellow, slightly thicker than real...

They are not percocet. I looked them up through a walgreens pharmacy and they are tylenol ## Hello, Ashley! How are you? No, they aren't fake, they are exactly what they were intended to be, 325mg Acetaminophen tablets. Whoever said they were Percocet either lied or didn't really know what they were. (NDC 0363-0104 among others) Inactive Ingredients: - Starch, Corn - Povidone - Stearic Acid - Sodium Starch Glycolate Type A Potato One store even sells them under the store brand name of Genepap, another as Genebs, and etc. Ref: DailyMed ## what is a white round pill 44 over 104 with the break between it please some say tylenol and some say Percocet.

Is this a real Percocet or a fake one? I've never saw a yellow one say 10/325 on one side and M532 on other side. It is oblong. ## @Byrd, I think the bottom line is if you didn't get your prescription filled through a licensed pharmacy then it could literally be anything. Pill press machines are making it possible for just about anyone to make copies using whatever ingredients they please. So the only reliable way to ensure legitimacy is by following the system. You can also contact the manufacturer (Mallinckrodt) directly at 800-778-7898 and ask them if they recently started producing a yellow oblong version of the tablet. Just a side note: My findings indicate that M 532 Percocet (5/500mg) is a red and white capsule with "M 532" in black ink on each side of it. Also, i...

RP 7.5 - 325... Fake or not fake ??? ## Hello, Seesa! How are you? This is manufactured by Rhodes Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 7.5mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, which is a generic for Percocet. The FDA classifies this medication as 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. Is there anything else I can help with? ## IS RP 10 325 A HYDROCODONE OR OXYCODONE? What kind is this ## Hey the pills with RP on one side and 10 325 on the other side are generic percocets containing 10mg of oxycodone and 325mg of acetaminophen. Hope this helps

I take Percocet all the time every 6 hours. This time i noticed the pill was round instead of oblong and has 230 on one side. This pill is worthless, I feel absolutely nothing. NO PAIN RELIEF AT ALL. This pill is a fake, a sugar pill or something. I paid $91 dollars cash for this, now i'm broke with no medication. There is no medical properties in this pill what so ever. I've been ripped off like some common drug pusher. How do I live now? The first thing I should do is call the FBI, then the FDA and the police too. ## What do I do? who cares?,Whom do I contact next? signed left in pain.

I'm seeing it all over the news and elsewhere on this site but it looks like fake yellow tablets with PERCOCET and 10/325 inscribed on them are becoming more common. Sadly on Wednesday news outlets have reported deaths from bad tablets circulating in Georgia. Everyone is urged to be extremely careful and of course, ensure that prescriptions are being filled through licensed pharmacies. And this goes without saying, but anyone who obtains tablets matching the above description from unscrupulous individuals are taking a big risk to their health and possibly life. "In recent days, the drugs ... have led to dozens of overdoses and as many as four deaths in south and central Georgia" [1] - one main problem is that it has become more commonplace for pill presses to be easily obtai...

Pills are oval shinny yellow with a Percocet printed on one side and when broken they have white speckes ## How can I tell if it's real? It's yellow, oblong with Percocet imprinted on one side and 10/325 on the other ## Other than filling your prescription at a licensed pharmacy, a content analysis by a professional lab seems like the only viable way to tell if something's real. Counterfeits can mimic looks, shapes, tastes, etc... but only a lab analysis will show the correct ingredients. Drug panel kits sold OTC at head-shops or pharmacies are another means of figuring out if something contains an opiate or not. However these kits may be more susceptible to false readings in comparison to the higher standards of GC/MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) that a lab posses...

How can you tell if you have a bad percocet 10mg/325 pill? Anyway to test to make sure they are good? ## Hey Bob; thats a real good question. and the sad part is they come in all shapes and sizes based on the manufacturer and brand...overall the will be a long a oblong shape pill with the numbers clearly written on it. except in the case of watson where it says watson right on it... another way to determine a real one from the fake one is by the price. if you see a ridiculous price like $2 ($60 for 30) a pill chances are you getting a placebo...the average cost of 30 pills is anywhere from $500 to $700. anywhere in that price range you know that you are good. ## 500 to 700 bucks for 10/325 percocet? ## People are making fake a333 and others... watch out ## Yep, I know for a fact because...

I have taken many generic Percocet 10-325 made by different companies. Different size/shape/color. But these 4829 v seem to be stronger for some reason. Been taking pain meds for 30 years. So I know side effects are different sometimes. I have been light headed/anxious/hot/cold when I take 2. Don't have to often. But I usually stick with the every 4 hours regimen. This is the first time I have used this brand for my pain. Any suggestions? ## Has your doctor instructed you to take 2 of them? It is entirely normal to experience more side effects, if you raise your dosage. The FDA does list those as being normal side effects, you may also experience nausea, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Are you on any other medications? How often are you supposed to take them?

I've recently heard that a certain pharmacy is under investigation for distributing fake meds. Well I recently got some percocet 10/325 and they have a high shine coating that tastes sweet. This is funny because they usually taste terrible. Has something changed? FYI - they relieve some of my pain but not completely like before and it seems like I am having slight withdrawals symptoms; runny nose, yawning a lot. ## Some manufacturers do use sweetened coatings to help prevent that horrible taste and to protect your stomach from the harshness of some medications. What are the markings on these ones? That is what would enable me to double check the details for you. Can you please post back and clarify? Thank you!

How to tell if the Percocet 10/325 with m523 on one side are bad, is there any way to tell? ## Idk, but M522 are good oxycodone 7.5mg; white, oblong; get at Walmart.

My pharmacy switched to Mallinkrodt generic percocet 10/325. After 3 months of taking them my wrists are stiff; my outer side of hands, pinky & ring fingers have gone totally numb!

All the 10 mg Percocets work the same unless they are fake. U shouldn't be messing with pills if u don't know what you're talking about!! If u got an rx from a real dr then u got nothing to worry about. I've had every single 10mg there is and they all work the same so stop crying! ## Unfortunately, this is not true. According to the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984, generics are allowed to differ from the name brand by as much as plus or minus 20% of the active ingredient(s). The FDA considers this to be an acceptable therapeutic window and it was put in place to help bring generics to market faster, to create competition and try to keep prices lower. They also do not have to measure against each other, only against the name brand. So, while the differences are small, which mean...
