Re: char (# 2)

I just got a refill 4 days ago and it was rp 10. Rhodes 10mg oxycodone. I've been shaky, sick to my stomach, flushed, moody, and my pain is horrible. Called my dr. And she prescribed something for withdrawals? I asked her how could I be having withdrawals as I'm currently taking a new mfg meds. She said sorry next time I should check pharmacy before getting filled so now I have 24 more days to wait for a new rx. After seeing all these posts for varying mfgs it makes me wonder what the hell the pharmaceutical companies are doing. Since these generics are not monitored the same as brand name I wonder what is actually going in them. Rhodes is actually a subsidiary of purdue pharma... which I believe is an india based company. What the hell? I've been a chronic pain sufferer for a long time and am tired of all the bs trying to get a quality product that actually works so I can have a decent quality of life. Not to mention drs, and pharmacists treating you as if your an addict if you question anything. I pray things get better. I hope you find some relief.

Hi Shizz,

According to NIH, the 10mg oxycodone tablets (that are white, round, & scored, with "R" over "P") made by Rhodes, contain the equivalent of 9 mg of free base oxycodone.

Ref: dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=a5162476-1217-41c0-bc7e-0a0f123f069f

So in terms of potency, it apparently doesn't contain what a 10mg Rx label says it does, which is really corrupt marketing in my opinion… Especially towards those who are switching from another brand that may have more or less (unknowingly setting the stage for withdrawal symptoms from tapering). I suppose they think the extra milligram will come in the form of placebo.

Next, in terms of inactive ingredients, Rhodes oxycodone reportedly contains the following binders/fillers: microcrystalline cellulose + lactose monohydrate + crospovidone, + magnesium stearate

I haven't looked this deeply into any other manufacturer's tablets, but figured that this could at least set the stage as a base of reference to compare with different drug companies versions.

Hope this helps!

I am still in pain after taking my medication. I have lower back pain and my old med has been working well, but the Dr changed my med to a white oxycodone hcl 10 mg tablet made by Rhodes. Is this a placebo?

Hi. I just got a med called oxycodone 15mg by rhodes. It is oval and white with the imprint 15, then on the other side RP. The pharmacist said it was just another manufacturer, but it makes me shaky with an upset tummy. Has anyone ever taken this? If so, what do u think?

My daughter has ON and has been taking Percocets for about 2 years. Last month they changed the manufacturer they were getting the medication from (because it is cheaper) to Rhodes. I do not know what fillers are put into this but I will tell you my daughter, who is usually a little spitfire, but a sweetheart, turned into a monster while she was on them. It was so bad, that I weaned her off of them. Called the pharmacy and they put in a special request to have a different vendor fill the prescription back to Amneal.

What, if any, significance is the term "free base" to the formulation of 9mg compared to our scripts written for 10-325mg percocet? I can't do that research myself now so hoping someone has done it. Please don't guess if you don't have the legitimate description and explanation from reliable sources!

Hello. I usually get the pink 10mg tablets from my pharmacy, but yesterday I received tablets that are from a new manufacturer. These are white as you described, and within an hour I knew for certain that they don’t work as well as the pink tablets work for me. I’m also feeling a little shaky and irritable (not at all my usual self). What recourse, if any, do we have? Thanks.

I take oxycodone 10/325 by RP, but now my pharmacy will give me the yellow C/230 oxycodone when they run short of the RP/325 and they cost me more. I know they are the same thing but to me they don't work as good as the RP/325 and they don't last long as the ones I take. Why do the pharmacies run out so much?
