Oxycodone - Is there a difference in manufacturers of generic drugs?

I haven't had that problem yet

Yes there is a big difference in all genetic medicine! They have different filters and most of them don’t work well at all ! So yes there is a big difference! I been dealing with this for the last 6 years!

I definitely had the same problem when I was on oxycodone I have fortunately been able to wean off this medication but when I was on it I always ask my pharmacy to obtain the Mallincrot brand it was definitely more effective than other brands I had received you may not be able to request a particular brand from one of the large pharmacies like CVS or Walgreens find a small mom and pop pharmacy that will help you you may have to try several before finding one that will work with you im the opioid situation we are in today don't be surprised if a pharmacy tells you that they don't stock opioids or they don't have them allot of the pharmacies today are reluctant to give that information out over the phone Good Luck and I hope this helps you because Mallincrot was definitely better than others I tried

If you can get the 10-325 by Lupin laboratories, they are by far the best.

There are different manufacturers.

absolutely

YES, manufacturers of generic drugs are different. Although sometimes you will see a manufacturer requests a change to a drug under another name and when you do some digging, you find they are the same. Like Rhodes... it has several other names it uses to get changes approved to their drugs. You think people are overdosing on opioids. However, anyone who has had to take pain meds for long periods of time understand that not all opioids are alike. So imagine being in excruciating pain and your refill being a manufacturer that uses more fillers and those fillers make the drug less effective. A person that has no voice could take more and more just waiting on it to work. Not because they are trying to hurt themselves, but because they are trying to just have a pain free moment. Go with what you know… If you have taken something you know works, fight to keep it. You are the only one who knows how you feel.

I think they are different. The blue oxycodone 30s are way stronger feeling then the yellow ones

I get my meds through the 3-letter pharmacy (not sure if we can use the names) and in my past experience they typically only use Malinckrodt (sp?) and one or two other manufacturers. I honestly didn’t see any difference in the generics I was dispensed. Just wanted to add my experience as I’m guessing that most of those who respond will say there is a difference. I didn’t experience side effects or changes in effectiveness. They usually kicked in for the pain after about 30 minutes and lasted 4 hours. Never had one last a whole 6 hours. Also, never was dispensed the Percocet brand name so I can’t compare generics vs brand name.

Basically your asking, what’s the differences in oxycodone.? Because so many versions are many by many companies. Let’s say this, we know that
There’s many of the same dose
For example
10mg oxycodone/325mg Tylenol “Percocet” made by a company that designed this pill round with a cool imprinted C on one side and 320 on the other colored yellow. If we want to compare that 10mg/325mg Percocet, to say, a white capsule shaped this time with imprint IP204. They may look different but that example is two different pills, but in actuality they were exactly the same Exact active ingredients.
10mg oxycodone & 325mg Tylenol.
They should be zero difference in the amount between the two, and the only thing that is legal to be different by lay is the fillers and bindings to make the pill itself.

The medications are not the same. The oxycodone and hydrocodone vary in strength from manufacture to manufacture. The government, the doctor's and pharmacist all know this is taken place. The pharmacy will generally accept the cheapest price they can get. Unless consumers complain about a certain product, nothing will change. This started many years ago when all the lawsuits were filed and are still being filed. Until very recently I was able to get the yellow V 36 01 made by Endo thru merger and buyout. Good quality will be hard to find. Some pills do work better than others, not by much.

Hey Annie
I've had that happen with oxy and soma a couple of times over the years. If you have been going to the same pharmacist for a long time, you should just bring it to his/her attention. And, sometimes they can go to a different manufacturer. Because of people who truly have conditions that require these trusted medicines, our wonderful dictator government has been limiting the manufacturers that pharmacies can order from. It was never like this years ago. But, it's just another tactic to try and continue to punish citizens and, the pharmacies that actually still try to help their patients. Which is what they were trained to do for years. But, if you have a good pharmacist, they usually will try and change to another company. Let me know

Yes I feel when pharmacy switches. I don't get as much relief with most... but the cost for Brand name ... I sure can't afford...

Absolutely there is a difference. Some are oblong white some are round yellow. My pharmacy switched manufacturer after 12 years and now all of a sudden this month I have developed severe feet edema and that's NEVER happened in all the years I've been on it until it came from different manufacturer.
