Cannot Find A Pharmacy To Fill Oxycodone 30mg Near Detroit, Mi...help Please?
Updated
Lindsey Says:
My husband received a script of Oxycodone 30 mg a few weeks ago from his surgeon and I cannot find a pharmacy to get them filled at. They mostly say they do not carry them or they are on back order. I have called everywhere. Any suggestions? Anyone know a pharmacy that carries it? Thanks in advance.

This has become an ongoing problem all over the U.S. and I am not sure exactly why, but there may be some shortages going on, as well as new dispensing regulations.
The best suggestion I can make is that if you have insurance, I'd suggest you check with your prescription insurance provider and see if they have a mail order pharmacy that you can use. This has worked for many people that were having trouble getting their narcotic prescriptions filled.

Does anyone else have any ideas that may help?

Walmart usually carries them.. It's a good idea to get to know your pharmacist and when you continue to get them there that you talk to the pharmacist about making sure to have some on back order for your next refill.. and always call ahead before you fill your script to make sure they have them... That's the Walmart in california.. but I would think any Walmart would carry them..also try Walgreens...

To the poster in Detroit... were you able to find a pharmacy that carried the oxycodone 30mg? My wife was given a script from her hospice doc yesterday (Christmas eve, no less) and we tried about 6 pharmacies before they were all closed (even 24 hour ones claimed back order). She is out of her previous Rx as of this morning and can't get in touch with her doc. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Here's the problem in MI. most pharmacy's are being raided because of improper record keeping and selling under the table or both and so the DEA has put a slight hold on a lot of independently owned pharmacy's for that reason . now if use the same one all the time and its not a large chain change to a large chain and have them call to very the what and the why and after that there shouldn't be anymore problems especially if you go there every month! And don't come there early!!! I go to a certain chain every 27-30 days so there's never an issue! Hope this helps!

I suggest calling your husband's surgeon and asking for the script to be written differently. Possibly 5mg to 30mg every 6 hours...and a larger number of pills in the bottle. That way he could get his 30mg dose or use less if possible.There are also other combination medications that work well. I live with terrible chronic pain. I use oxycodone for breakthrough pain and forget with codeine as my routine pain medication. Fioricet contains Tylenol, caffeine, and a muscle relaxant butalbital. If ordered with codeine I am fairly sure it will help your husband.
I wish you luck. Also, in my state oxycodone has to be a written script and it will expire if not filled within 30 days. I suggest you first find a pharmacy that has the lower dose pills prior to calling the surgeon.

Walgreens mail pharmacy located in phoenix Arizona. Google it. They will charge it to ur insurance. I live in michigan and its only place I can get it filled. Most pharmacies don't have them or will only give to the customers they have had for awhile do to all the ppl buying scripts. I just moved from Maryland so I don't know any place well enough to get from them. This is easy and they always have the meds I am prescribed. I've never had a issue with them either!!

I live in Detroit and have a pharmacist who has told me he will only fill my prescription for 60 oxycodone pills rather than the 90 my doctor has prescribed. This pharmacy is a small independent one. Has anyone ran into this problem? I am going to switch to a larger pharmacy chain. I have been with this pharmacy for over 3 years. Has anyone heard of this b.s? Lately, he has even commented on my doctor's therapy decisions. Is this his call?

I read the DEA mandates and controls how many pills are manufactured. I'm looking for the article and will post when I find. No, I did read that and haven't lost my mind-yet. I'm wondering if the drug manufacturer can be contacted and asked what pharmacy will dispense their product to the public. just a thought.

Re: PharmD DOCTOR of pharmacy (# 37)
HAHAHA - You clearly have a superiority complex. When you say "pharmacist" please be specific about which person you are referring to at the counter as you should know there are different positions inside of the pharmacy, techs, pharm assist etc. It's very rare that a new pharmacist, new tech etc will be consulted by a doctor unless that doctor is an *****. You must feel special but a good doctor would have the education and knowledge to know how to treat his/her patients without consulting a pharmacy...does he not have colleagues at his own level he can consult? My doctor is one of the top doctors in my township and highly despises the way the pharmacies are making calls to him trying to argue with him until he eventually puts them in their place and they shut the f*** up as you should do. If you want to be a doctor then go back to school and study to be a doctor and quit acting like one because you work in the healthcare field. That's like saying "I am a legal secretary but I have just as much authority to represent my clients in court as my boss, the REAL attorney". You people make me sick.

If Walgreens is out, you need to find a hospital that has an outpatient pharmacy. They always carry pain medicine. They have to have it on hand for patients.
Unfortunately, most pharmacies will not tell you on the phone.

Dalcoma Pharmacy off M59 and Canal Road, I believe it's Sterling Heights but it could be Shelby Township and they also deliver for free. They specialize in pain meds however they do sell all of my prescription needs. Awesome Pharmacy, the best.

You're not a doctor nor do you have the education it takes to be one. Furthermore you should educate yourself. Most of us coming to the pharmacy to fill a script are not filling to sell. If you were a doctor, you would know that is why they do random drug panels to make sure we are taking our meds. Maybe if more of you narrow minded pharmacists had experienced it personally, you would have more compassion.

I have been to every Walgreens on the east side, darn near, as well as St John's hospital and can't get my script filled for my 30 milligram Oxycodone. And the one place that did have some wanted to give me only 90 where as I get prescribed 120?!?! Where can I fill my prescription at?

They normally won't tell you over the phone if they have it. They don't want to get robbed. It's ridiculous, but I have chronic pain and am used to being treated like a criminal. When you're in pain that's what you feel like doing is driving all over to fill a script... Walgreen is the only drugstore I know of that carries it, but if you have a hospital that has an outpatient pharmacy, they will have it for sure. Good luck.
