Auro Pharmaceuticals U17 Oxycodone/apap Tablet (Top voted first)

My local CVS pharmacy has been changing and even mixing brands of my oxycodone/apap 10/325 for months now. Today they gave me yet a new brand made by Auro Pharmaceuticals with the inscription U17. Has anyone heard of these before? I know nothing about them.

Been taking U17 for 3 months. Aurobindo Generic Percocet 10/325 for Chronic Pain. Active Ingredients 10 mgs Oxycodone & 325 mgs Acetaminophen/Tylenol. I take 4 daily/120 month. Take pain meds for 3 years. Was In severe accident, broke my hip also torn hip labrum, disabling Sciatica with very little activity to cause severe disabling flare ups in same side as hip post accident, note other hip is excellent no matter how much activity. Torn Rotator Cuff & Biceps Tendon Surgery same side as hip, 4 Ruptured Discs showing Pain Indicators & Involuntary Muscle straitening/spasms in my Neck. I take Pain Meds with Inj's. and P. Therapy, and Chiropractic Care.

My Opinion on Percocet 10/325 Generics Ranks 1st with Endocet/Qualitest Yellow 10/325, 2nd Auro Bindo U17, 3rd Mallincroft M523, 4th Actavis A333, 5th Amneal IP 204....Note: Shelf Life Plays a Role as well as Manufacturer's +/- on Active Ingredients.

Pain is Serious and my pain stops me from doing the simplest things in life. It is a struggle to get proper treatment because of so much lack of common sense, abuse, and recreational use. If you are in need and struggling with legitimate pain from an injury I hope this helps. I know how it feels to finally feel relief and have hope then be let down at the pharmacy counter due to corporate greed by certain Drug Manufacturers and/or judgmental Pharmacist. They have no clue the hardware you have under your skin. Being judged by a pharmacist when you don't have the ability to abduct your shoulder to 90 degrees holding the mere weight of your arm. 10 weeks after surgery.

Coolhandman....CVS has been doing a lot of illegal drug mixing and changing generics almost monthly...corporate needs a wake up call and as a nurse, I'm gonna be it. Aurobindo...that's the company...from India...look them up...last check from July 2016...they had 14 violations in their labs...UNCORRECTED from early in the year..yet they are still making meds and distributing them. It will take a death to finally make the FDA pay big Tim and put a tight lid on these slackers that care nothing about their product. The violations ranged from uncleanliness of lab, mold found in beakers and and elements unfounded in area...plus more.. Look it up and see for yourselves. I'm putting this CRA in my already damaged body and simply trying to relieve severe pain from Crohns (41 yrs suffering) so I can work as a nurse helping others and care for my disabled child as a single sole provider mom. It is disgusting that in the USA we are made to suffer more than my Great Dane with hip issues....he gets Methocarbamol and has no pain.... Rhodes uses Lactose fillers not disclosed so good luck if your lactose intolerant..as I am...and suffered More with symptoms of that along with 20% less active ingredients for pain as allowed by law...Activis (Teva) pharma was the only generic I could tolerate and nobody around NC orders them... Ps. In CA my pharmacist at CVS special ordered for me Activis..they won't do that here...why???

Good luck fellow pain sufferers... as a nurse I'm appalled; as a patient I'm too damn ill to care anymore...sad state of affairs for America...and nobody cares.

In response to Marmy - you can ask your pharmacist to stick to one brand of generic if there is one you have better results with. They don't like doing it but most of them will even if they have to order it in specifically for you. You will just have to order a week ahead to give them time to get the meds in stock. I do this myself and insist on a specific manufacturer. They say that all generics are the same but that is not true. The active ingredient(s) are the same that is it. Lots of people will have a reaction to one generic and not another for the same medication. You are the customer you are entitled to get what you want. If not, change drugstores.

Yes, my pharmacy gave me the same thing. Shaped like a capsule? But hard like a pill? I don't think they are as strong as my other 10/325's. I asked my pharmacist about them and he said they were the same thing.

I know this post is from 2014 but it's not hydrocodone. It's Oxycodone.

This is is kind of old so I don't know if you'all see it, but may help someone else.
For night pain and sleep my doctor prescribed me pamelor. I was very hesitant bc it is a anti depressant, and I'm a very happy person. Not a ounce of depression in me. They said it's a old school AD without the nasty side effects of the newer ones out there. She said they have found that it serves as a nerve block and when taken at night before bed will help sleep.
It works!!

Hi, I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis and was sent to pain management. They gave me Percocet 10/325. I returned the next month and took my U/A, they called and said it showed I have norco in my system and no trace of Percocet! How is that possible? I haven't taken norco in 2 years and took the Percocet every day! I'm appalled that this can happen!!

Be careful with complaints. I have seen doctors cut patients off completely

To file complaints about medications go here: fda.gov/scripts/medwatch

I just reported the Aurobindo brand oxycodone 10/325 to the FDA for a slight earache/headache and because of all the complaints here. Other than that I might like it even more than Endocet. Seems to last longer.

Re: wakenda (# 11)

I filled a post-op prescription for generic Percocet, which usually works for me. This time the manufacturer was Aurobindo Pharm. I have NO idea what was in this pill, but it's not Percocet. I have been frantic, itching out of my skin, unable to sleep and have had no pain relief since an agonizing surgery on Tuesday. It is now Friday, and I found one last Percocet from a previous procedure and, bam, worked like a charm. Unfortunately, I have probably alienated all my friends and family from sleep deprivation and pain craziness, and I'm certain the lack of sleep hinders the speed of my recovery. I searched this company and was shocked by the volume of complaints and legal cases, and also disappointed that RiteAid most likely switched to the cheapest company. I am ready to find a lawyer, as I am spitting mad. I did better with two Tylenol than two Percocet? How does one even find out actual ingredients?

Re: Kadeena (# 42)

Well, I wouldn't take it if I were you. My Dr. re-prescribed and the pharmacy filled it with a different generic that worked fine. I found the complaints just by googling the company, and I do plan on filing a report with the FDC. I also saved the pills in question, because I really would like someone to analyze them. My compounding pharmacy said they were not equipped to do that, but perhaps the FDA has a place.

Re: flea (# 44)

Glad it worked for you, but it made me so sick and did not help my pain, which was pretty intense, post-op pain. And I do not work for a competitor nor do I frequently take pain medicines. When I have a reaction like that to any medicine, I always go online to look for side effects or complaints, and as a former reference librarian, I cross check my references and look for back up. True, you cannot believe everything you read on the internet. That is why I cross reference and dig deeply. I still have the pills in question and intend to file the complaint and get the ingredients analyzed, as I am not even sure they contained the Tylenol portion much less the narcotic, because until I got a new prescription, plain Tylenol helped more (but not enough). The other generic Percocet, which I had to pay cash for because insurance would not fill it, worked perfectly. May be individual allergies or sensitivities, but the force and number of complaints lodged against this company for this and other meds lead me to believe they may use sub standard or alternative ingredients that are less effective or possibly harmful.

Re: Ann (# 20)

Just got u17 from miejers in Ann Arbor Michigan the capital of the greatest for medical care. I went to 3 Walgreen's, 2 rite aids, 2 CVS pharmacies and my script was for 180. Now imagine this note, one said they had more than 20. I went to Kroger and they had it but my insurance doesn't work with Kroger. I got aurolife u17 10/325. Maybe I have been on Percocet too long, 3 years. My m333 from Walgreens work very good for my pain. The aurolife u17 dulled my pain and I mean just dulled it. Is my body needing to adjust? It just pisses me off there is all the epidemic on opioids and they want to basically ban them. I don't hear one word about the people with legit chronic pain and how it helps them live as normal as life as one can from major injuries thru the years. I maintained a full time job in construction with not one accident in 10 years working on hi-rise buildings vs having to go on full disability. I was able to keep a full time job. What a lot of people don't know is more than half of construction workers 30 and older are on some sort of narcotic with Norco 10/325 be most popular and then Percocet and Fentanyl. The percentage is probably 65% of all skilled trades that involves heavy lifting. All owners turn their cheeks and look the other way or there would be no one to work. So all these advocates are against it. Ya get it off the streets but don't make doctors so paranoid about losing their practice for prescribing to people who really need it. Is it addictive, hell yes. Ask any construction worker if he is more worried about addiction or pain relief so he can provide for his or her family. It's a lot safer than grabbing a six pack and a pint for the drive home to relieve the pain but endanger thousands of drivers every day just to take the pain away. Our Politicians don't know what's best for us, the real working class!!!

Re: Glasguy or jj (# 55)

Sorry guys we're unhappy with the oxycodone 10mg U17 by Aurolife. I also was getting different pills every month. I guess I lucked out cause my pharmacist orders those for me every month now. My tolerance is extremely high been in chronic pain for 40 years and had to work. I am an occupational therapist in nursing home rehab and have seen awful things these older adults that have hard time getting pain meds. I am totally against govt involving itself in medical field. Of a person has proof of pain the doctor shouldn't b hassled regarding his professional decision to allow true pain pts. Their right to some quality of life.
