Camber Pharmaceuticals Generic Percocet (Page 12) (Top voted first)

Just got Camber Pharm generic Percocet at Walgreens instead of the Actavis brand. It's giving me an upset stomach and causing me to feel weird. Has anyone else had a similar reaction?

A friend told me that you might want to check with your county ME offices, they might be able to help you get a good lab. I think it would be a great idea for an independent lab to show what crooks these companies are.

Thanks

It’s a little difficult to find the lab when you can’t even find a wall firm believe me I’ve tried to look at a class-action suit I’m spending close to $3000 a month for trash insurance but it’s the only game in town don’t have a spare penny to find the lab to work analyze chemicals of a copyrighted material so it’s a little difficult I also find it hard to believe that I can’t find a single large law firm to look at a class-action suit does that tell you the big Pharma might already have everything paid off and set it up?

Received camber Percocet for my back and it's absolutely garbage. I can’t believe they sell this. I wonder if I can return my prescription for another?

Yes exact same. Upset stomach and no pain relief. Seriously like a placebo. This is by far the worst brand I ever tried

I just got it for the first time 10 29 21. So sick. Extreme headaches Extreme nausea and I feel like I am In Withdrawl. Because I am. Its placebo and from India. The worst brand in 8 years of this pain Management previously was another company from india...zydus. camber takes the cake. What a joke. Sad for our country as a whole and for humanity.

Sorry for being unclear. I meant it will be an insurance issue to try and get a replacement prescription for what I have now and prior to the time to refill the next prescription with Actavis.

Re: Bella (# 53)

The reason why Walgreens is dispensing camber is because for a bottle of ?? pills cost $20.00 for each bottle. For Actavis...a bottle of ?? pills comes to $117 for each bottle. I know this because my husband works for a pharmaceutical Distribution Center. What I don't understand is HOW DOES A GENERIC MEDICINE GO TO A BRAND NAME???!!? IT'S ALL ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY THEY MAKE. NOT ABOUT THE PATIENTS!!! The insurance will not cover the Actavis generic oxycodone because it is now a"BRAND NAME". THE way it works is every phcy has a "preferred brand that insurance will cover" In this case it's Camber. So they took the generic Actavis oxycodone and made it a "brand name". Now that it is a brand name.... insurance WILL NOT COVER IT ANYMORE. THE phcy's will not order it because it now cost's $117 for a bottle of ?? pills. I hope this helps people to understand what is going on

One more thing. This is the 6th day back on the Actavis. As ive mentioned before the symptoms are getting better. I know the burning in my stomach and horrible gas was the camber. That is gone. Im not shaky anymore. Not as tired. Upper back pain is gone. Camber gave me heart attack symptoms. Anyhow, i will ask Actavis if they have changed the formula recently. Also question them about the switch to name brand. Will they be supplying to Wallgreens. Be interesting if they tell me to call the manufacturer; like Camber did. Of course their manufac. is India. I was told by the independent pharmacy that Actavis was made in the US. Gee, I really do have other things to do but I just cant go through that again. When people have something to hide, there is always reason for that.

Re: Lildarlin (# 62)

What area do you live, do you mind me asking? Or, just letting you know that I am in North County of San Diego and my Walgreens here was able to get them back in. last month I got the poison and went through the same thing as everyone else here. Luckily I had not been taking the amount prescribed which was 4 per day. I am usually able to do 3 so I had extra to pull me through. Not sure what I should do about the poison pills as I have almost a full bottle and I think it might send an alert 2 my insurance company that I had been stashing some away. Thoughts?

Re: Bella (# 61)

I picked up my Actavis script at Walgreens today. I'm in Southern California. I checked with the pharmacist and she said the price is the same for Actavis as Camber and the insurance company paid. I've mentioned this before; I was told today again that the reasons they switched to Camber; because there is an annual limit as to the amount of opioids each company can distribute per year. Once they start the new year (after a month or so), they can distribute the drug again. She thinks that they should continue to receive the Actavis. New guidlines that make no sense; except the way i understand it, the FDA collects a new regulatory fee. From what ive learned (true or false), the individual pharmacy has no control over what corporate sends them. When one company can no longer distribute the controlled substance; then Corporate has to find another supplier. Bubble wrap mentioned that Actavis "may been switched" to name brand drug now. As far as i know it is still generic. Name brand percocet at Costco is (for the amount I have been prescribed is $1,300). That's all I know about that.

I called Actavis in texas today. They were bought out by Allergen a couple years ago. They were very nice and referred me to product development in New Jersey; which by the way is Teva. It was too late too call; so I may tomorrow. Ask several questions; ex. has the formula changed, the ingredients and where do they come from, will they be supplying to Walgreens, etc. Calling the corporate office of Walgreens might help. I did a day after starting the Cambe. I told them what store I was dealing with; because they ask. If you no longer want to deal with Walgreens, than it would be a wast of time. I may switch someday. However for now, I was desperate and if they have Actavis, it was no brainer. Plus the pharmacy is about a quarter mile from me and I like the manager. What will happen in the future, I have no idea.

I was just about to post same re: Camber generic brand...nausea & weird feeling. After trying so many generic brands this last year or so after being in pain magmt on them for a decade NONE OF THEM are what they used to be. I believe behind the scenes PERCOCET formula brand pr generic has been reformulated by big pharma.

Re: catty (# 3)

MikeyG this is my second month in a row I've been given this at Walgreens. They made me sick physiologically and physically definitely something weird going on here. Actavis brand worked just fine these are just crap! Guess I'll be going through another month with pain again thanks to Walgreens. Yeah I guess I better try Walley world from now on by force since I live in a small town with only two options as far as pharmacies go. Don't bother calling the mfr. you'll get sent to a person in India answering from their work from home office. Whatever happened to American made pharmaceuticals Aaahhhhhh!

Re: Bella (# 66)

Bella, isn't it strange we get different answers from all the Walgreens? U would think a company as big as Walgreens could at least get their story straight. Did I get your months actavis from what was left over before camber came in? Or did they order it for u? Reason I'm asking is if they ordered it for u, then they should put it on your profile to always keep actavis on hand for you. I was told ( in a very cruel way from the most rude Walgreens employee) that in no way can it be ordered because actavis could not get the chemicals to make the drugs for oxycodone.????? Now I thought about this. First of all, it's the dumbest thing I have ever heard, but second, could it mean the chemicals to make those as crappy as the Camber? Either way I didn't believe a word she said. It was so far fetched a child wouldn't believe it. A lady came in and showed her, a pic on her cell phone asking if she had this in stock, and it had to be oxycodone/ apap because the very rude girl told her... no it's backordered ad nobody else in town has is. The look on the innocent woman's face was awful from being talked to so rude. She meant all the 40 Walgreens in town. Have any of u written to Walgreens instead of the pharmaticals? I'm about to write to Walgreens headquarters and let them know how sick myself and all of u have become so very sick. Bella it's not right for them to order only for one month and then leave u hanging.

Re: Bella (# 66)

Hi Bella, with the fact being that a pharmacy can only sell a certain amount of opioids a year (Actavis being one of them), now, my question is...WHAT ARE THESE PAIN MEDS FROM CAMBER? They are ALSO SUPPOSED TO have opioids in them too...don't they? Actavis and camber both are supposed to have oxycodone and apap? Right, well are they implying that CAMBER does NOT HAVE OXYCODONE IN THEM? Also, I read one of the inactive ingredients that I looked up....is a soap that acts like a lubricant so the chemicals do not stick together in the machine!!! This is SCARY CRAP!!! It's no wonder why everyone is getting so sick! What is the difference of selling one opiate from a mfr or an opiate from a DIFFERENT MFR.? A number is a number, I would think that once a number has been met, that's it. I am puzzled by all this crap. Is it possible this Camber stuff is a placebo and that's why nobody is getting any pain relief?! Also, walgreens buys Camber oxycodone 10/325, a bottle of 100 pills cost them $20.00. Actavis mfr buys oxycodone 10/325 and a bottle of 100 pills cost them $117.00.

Re: Lildarlin (# 43)

Get your doctor to write your symptoms on a descript and order new one without tylenol. The plain oxycodone is a different manufacturer. They will take back and my insurance did pay again. Have to have dr document symptoms though for a replacement.

Re: bubblewrap (# 74)

I think i have mentioned that its NOT the pharmacy that is limited on the number of scripts they can distribute. It's Drug Companys that are limited to the amount they can sell per year. Supposedly an effort by the powers that be to do their part in the opioid crisis. It's convoluted, it stupid and the way I see it; its just a way for the FDA to collect another regulatory fee each year; which is a lot of money. Also I saw where its competition. Also convoluted and seems to monetarily benefit another generic company. When I told the manager at the pharmacy it made no sense, he agreed. It's all about money with no concern for the patient. For the most part the generic companys cant afford the regulatory fees. So the way I see it, a lot of these drugs are not FDA approved. Not that i trust the FDA when it says FDA approved (: Sure doesnt say FDA approved on the bottle. I hope im making sense out of senseless BS. As ive said before; we purchase over the counter drugs and on the food we purchase, we can see the ingredients. The pharmacy manager didnt try to defend any fishy fact that I found. He sarcastically said; I guess we're suppose to trust the government. Do you?? I also found out that one of the new rules is that you can only get 120 (of whatever dose you are taking) in 28 days. Im ok with that right now. What about people who are in hospice or require more? I've read sites where Vet's have been cut off and living in pain; because of these new guidelines that obviously have not thought out. Id like to know where you got the ingredients for Camber. Here are the ingredients for Actavis that were emailed to me today; The active ingredients in Oxycodone/Acetaminophen Tablets are 5 mg Oxycodone hydrochloride, USP (which is equivalent to 4.4815 mg of oxycodone) and Acetaminophen, USP 325 mg. The inactive ingredients are croscarmellose sodium, microcrystalline cellulose, povidone, pregelatinized corn starch, silicon dioxide and stearic acid.

I would like to compare. I had plan to call the India Monday and see if they were willing to give me the ingredients for Camber. Im exhausted but Im driven because i have burnt by generic drugs before. I'm not sure what you mean by the pharmacy paying $117 for Actavis. I would have to ask. All I know is she looked at the price (I guess that i would have to pay if ins. didn't) and they were the same. Let me say, I really do have a good relationship with the local Wallgreens and I trust what they tell me. The employees are not all the same at various wallgreens. I know from calling around when I was first given the Camber. One witch tried to tell me they were exactly like the Actavis. I told her that 14 months on the Actavis, I would know. She insisted and I hung up.

"I believe behind the scenes PERCOCET formula brand pr generic has been reformulated by big pharma"

MeJane, I think that's a real reasonable suspicion. I've been back on the Actavis for 8 days. My stomach gurgles as soon as i eat and then gas. Also a burning stomach ache. This is why i contacted Actavis today. I did get the ingredients; which I posted earlier. This can be a sign of bacteria, food poisoning. I picked up probiotics today; hoping it will help. She insisted it was manufactured in the US. I told her I need to know where the ingredients come from and if the formula has been changed recently changed. She is supposed to get back to me on that. I told her about the problem with Camber but didn't complain about Actavis yet. I said Im sure you can understand my concerns. She said generics have the same ingredients as name brand; which I do not believe. She said they are more because they pay for the research and development. For what its worth, that was just some information about the conversation. I will follow up. Nothing about all of this passes the smell check.
