Generic 10mg Oxycodone Ir Kvk Brand. Any Info About Known Quality Of This Med Compared To Other Generics? (Page 4)

I have seen so many different opinions and information about companies offering generic oxycodone and the differences in strength, and quality over other generic brands. I have also heard that the FDA allows from 12% to 20% variances in the active ingredient (oxycodone) in their pills. Which if i am understanding this correctly, they can be + or - 12 to 20% of the actual amount of oxycodone per tablet? Can someone with the expertise or knowledge (like a pharmacist or a doctor) explain this to us who have heard this and don't understand? I personally suffer with chronic pain from a construction accident 20 yrs ago in which my back was broken in 7 places along with a lot of muscle and nerve damage which has left me on disability and in chronic pain after 4 surgeries and 7 levels of my spine fused. I currently take 150mg's of oxycodone IR daily, and I have noticed the difference between different manufactures of the same medicine at the same size tablet. My doctor said he could specify a certain 'generic' brand on my prescription, but that my insurance company will only pay for a generic equivalent to a 'specified brand name' IE: Roxicodone is the brand name, but I can only receive the generic equivalent to that, like KVK, or qualitest, mallankrodnt (sp?) etc. Does anyone know which 'generic' brand of oxycodone (10mg IR) is known to be of the highest quality and potency? Any help or information would be great. Chronic Pain survivors and those who suffer with pain, God Bless You and I hope you have a pain-free day (if possible)..Tommy

Does the Kvk cause you nausea?
I can’t take it because of this. Was curious if others experienced nausea ( a lot), with either the 10 or the 15? I cut them always in half.
Does IR version reduce nausea? Anyone???
Thanks

THANK GOD A LONG ENOUGH FORUM ABOUT THE SITUATION HERE AND I WILL TELL YOU. KVK AMNEAL AND RHODES SUCK OK!!! THE SITUATION IS A 10 OR A 20 IS THE SAME THING IT'S BAD EITHER WAY. I'M PLEADING WITH MY DOCTOR TO MOVE ME FROM 3 10MG KVK CAUSE I TRIED THE OTHER TWO AND THEY WERE WORSE. AND GUESS WHAT 20MG MIGHT BE MORE BUT AGAIN KVK AMNEAL RHODES. 15 OR 30MG. IN MY CASE MY DOCTOR IS SO CAUTIOUS AND THANK GOODNESS I FOUND A DECENT SEMI YOUNG SMART DOWN TO EARTH PHARMARICR BECAUSE HE AGRRES WITH ME AND WILL BACK ME UP CAUSE MY MD WANTS A CONFIRMATION THAT EITHER A 15MG MALINCROKFT OR A ACTAVIS WOULD BE A REASONABLE MOVE ENOUGH TO ADD 15 MEALSEY MG WHICH IS FUNNY BASED ON A BETTER PRODUCT COMMON SENSE. BECAUSE BOTH COMPANIES ONLY MAKE THIS IN 15 OR 30 WHICH IS UCKED UP TO ME. BUT YES I RATHER HAVE 3 15 THEN 3 10'S ESPECIALLY IF IT'S A GENERIC THAT WORKS. THERE IS NO BRAND ANYMORE. I DON'T THINK OR WHO MAKES IT. AND THAT IS IT THAT'S THE STORY. ZYDUS BAD QUALITEST IS CRAP. AND IF I FIND THAT THESE TWO 15MG WHICH GOING TO BE THE END FOR ME AND HOPE TO GOD THEY ARE LEGITIMATE BECAUSE ALL THE OTHERS ARE PLACEBOS. CAUSE 20 WOULD BE GOING DOWN IN MY OPINION.
