Did They Stop Making The Roxane 54 411 Buprenorphine? (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)
Updated
I have been getting the generic Subutex Roxane brand 54 411 Buprenorphine tablets for months now from Walmart pharmacy and the past two times I've gotten my prescription filled there, I was given a different generic made by Hi Tech with an 8 and an arrow. I asked them why the change because those little tablets just are not the same and they said the Roxane ones could not be ordered. I called around to other pharmacies I have gotten my prescription filled at before also and was also told that the Mylan M 924s can no longer be ordered either. What's going on with the Roxane and Mylan Buprenorphine tablets? Did they stop making them or is there some kind of shortage? I had the choice of getting the small Hi Tech tablets which seem alot less potent than the Roxane or the Actavis 153 half moon orange tablets which I cannot stand at all. Has anyone else had a problem getting the Roxanes or the Mylans or know for sure what's happening? I did see that Roxane merged with West Ward but don't know if that has anything to do with it or when the merge occurred and the 54 411 tablets are still listed on the West Ward site as a medication they manufacturer. I've heard everything from they are not making either of the brands anymore to there is just a temporary shortage of the brands.

Re: Struggle (# 4)
Ask for the RP brand there just as good and same size
Yes I can’t get them in mandaville either I have checked every were so I get the RP big brand
Pill with imprint 54 411 is White, Round and has been identified as Buprenorphine Hydrochloride (Sublingual) 8 mg. It is supplied by Hikma Pharmaceuticals USA Inc..
*** HELLO EVERYONE …WESTWARD/ROXANNE WAS BOUGHT OUT BY HIKMA PHARMA. I found a lot of places when I call around and ask for "Westward or Roxanne Brand" always no and it’s because it’s now Hikma… Hikma pharmaceuticals is who makes the 54 511’s. ASK FOR HIKMA brand buprenorphine.
My guess is it's the cost. If you are a chain like CVS, Walmart, Walgreens whoever. If there is a penny difference in cost of a pill and your chain sells a million of them, that's $10,000 more in profit ... They probably just don't care because of the money, but smaller pharmacies that have less than 10-20 stores that don't sell such a high volume, that penny is less important than a satisfied good customer, so they just add the $1.50 to the cost of the 5 a day 30 day script ... So most likely the smaller pharmacy will have the better products... Unfortunately there are no small pharamcies around me...
Re: Roxanne 56 (# 125)
Right! Walmart is THE WORST
Re: Dan (# 127)
Not to be a dink but that’s not true. My doctor has on the script to fill Roxanne (now changed to Hikma) updated script and the 25 pharmacies I’ve called refuse to order it.
Re: kB (# 139)
So sorry ! Just seeing ur reply. It’s so hard to find them but there is one pharmacy in southern VT.
Re: KB (# 141)
Hi sorry just saw your message. There is one pharmacy in VT that carry's them.
Re: Kb (# 145)
A few small mom and pop pharmacies still carry in VT and NH
Re: bad off (# 149)
Hear that. Really it’s pathetic what the insurance companies are these days. My doctor wrote on prescription “fill Roxanne/now Hickma brand ONLY” and MANY pharmacies refuse to order. Last I checked a pharmacies job was to fill as prescribed/ doctors orders but now a days they think they can trump doctors orders. It’s a joke.
Re: Hartman (# 150)
Where I live it’s only small mom and pop pharmacies and those are getting done carrying 54’s like crazy. Trust me I know I’ve called MANYYYY pharmacies in two states (in New England) trying to find found ONE small pharmacy that carry’s them.
Re: Aub (# 151)
The other brands are DEF not the same.
Re: Dennis (# 154)
They make 54 511’s still in plentiful quantities the problem is insurance companies don’t want to pay for them because more expensive so in turn ALOT of pharmacies don’t carry them anymore. Trust me this is fact (s).
Re: Dennis (# 155)
It’s HIKMA Pharmaceuticals
Re: Sad but true (# 1)
They still make them just got some yesterday thank god I suggest you call every single pharmacy until you find them West word makes them but they don’t go off route Roxanne or westward it’s a company called something with an H I totally forgot but westward still makes them
Re: Hannah (# 104)
