A 51 30mg Oxycodone (amneal) - Turns Yellow/green When Wet (Page 2) (Top voted first)

I have some A 51 30 mg oxycodones and noticed that they turn a yellow/green when damp. I know one of the inactive ingredients is D&C yellow #10 so that may be the cause, but I wanted to check to see if anyone else has noticed the same thing and make sure that it is normal. Thanks for any help in advance.

REPORT

I have always needed to dilute my meds, including the Oxycodone with liquid to be able to ingest it without my Pharyngeal disorder, which much prevents me from swallowing anything normally. I am health conscious as well, and the fact that these new meds that I was given are turning into unnatural jelly like colors are very disturbing. What now is this new blue, blob like goo that it had become? I am not seeing the company listing all of the ingredients that may cause this unnatural effect in something they expect us to ingest into our body, or am I completely missing something here in my research?

Look it up. Percocet turns blue when wet. They did add a new ingredient to stop drug abusers. It can stain your hands and face blue and turns into gel when wet. Also, they are changing them to extended release.

Close, but also wrong.. they JUST approved the blue dye deterrent, which will now need to go through many studies to prove its effectiveness as an abuse deterrent; as of now it is being viewed skeptically, as there is no proof it will help, as addicts almost always work around a roadblock... Hense the continuing crisis, and another deterrent example, the gel response when crushed oxy. That was the first abuse-deterrent attempt, which albeit annoyed the s*** out of the addict community, ultimately was too little too late, and did not help to stop the already out of control opioid issue from spreading rapidly.

Most of the reputable sites I have checked have said that although it may be impossible to tell without lab testing, some give-aways or signs to look for when questioning a pill are to check for uniform color, size and imprint. As well as texture, and color change to yellow upon wetting a pill indicating a fake. Easier said than done, but be super careful, and when in doubt... There is a reason you are second guessing it... maybe skip it... at least Pay close attention and be safe!!

PS, if they are from the pharmacy and prescribed to you then there is absolutely no reason you shouldn't call your pharmacist and ask if you think the pills you got are off somehow... (In reply to the person who said they grabbed their script but were just wondering...).

It's been known that A/51 oxycodone do turn a yellowish/greenish in color when wet, and that is how you know that they are 100 percent real

not sure who you are talking to... as this forum apparently doesn't do anything to show who the person is replying to even though you click on a specific person and not a general reply... but if this is to me, I'm not sure what you are talking about either. It seems you are thinking I made a statement saying companies wouldn't invest money into producing generic medications when that is not what I said. I clearly was saying they wouldn't invest money into further development and adding additional ingredients to the pill, and then follow up that this is a mute point anyway as this would be illegal & can only be done through an NDA

Re: Paladin (# 9)

You are wrong, the above response is absolutely correct. And multiple reputable sites related to addiction rehabilitation state that these pills turning yellow actually indicate they are fake. Be careful what you guys post here!! Have something to back up your response! You are playing around or trying to calm your own anxieties, chancing someone taking a potentially life threatening pill so you can run your mouth?!

LOL "is there anything else I can help you with?". You really didn't help in the first place, so anything else doesn't even apply. 30 mg oxycontin's are one of the most widely copied, cut and or re-pressed pills on the market. Your bland response of, "water can change the color of just about anything, even if you're in different places, at different times, with different people, for an array of reasons" was not needed.

Hello, Mike and Jen! How are you both?

Moisture can affect the shade, color and tone of virtually anything, including pills. Depending on the specific type of water, you may see different colors at different times, due to small chemical reactions. For instance, you may see a different color from tap water, than from purified water, since there are chemicals in the tap water. The same might be true due to the minerals in well water, or mineral water.

Even a white tablet will, at least, darken if you get it wet and may get a grayish, yellow or brownish cast to it, just from the water. You may get more colors, depending on the inactive ingredients used in it.

That said, it would really be best to keep your medications away from water. They should be kept in a cool, dry, dark place, until you're ready to take them, because heat, light and moisture causes degradation, which can cause loss of efficacy.

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?

The Amneal brand is one of the first new breed of oxycodone IR that have some kind of abuse blocker in it. I've researched this to death and have tried some. You will NOT feel any of the normal opiate feelings. You will get a slight stomach ache, depending on how much you try to do. I've seen this (personally) in the A 51, and the A 48 (30mg and 10mg). Don't waste your money unless taking them orally.
