One Wrong Pill In My Prescription Order Of Percocet (Top voted first)

Updated

I get my pain meds through mail order. My prescription is for Percocet 10/325. In my order, one of the pills was a Vicodin and it has a red stain that swatches across the numbered side of the pill. Called my mail order pharmacy and they basically said that there was no way I could prove that they sent it to me that way. I took it in and showed my neurologist and he had no idea what the stain could be... He told me not to take it.....which I had already decided I wasn't going to anyway. Pretty screwed up though, to get not only the wrong medication, but one that has some strange red stain on the pill. I wish there were a way to attach a picture of it on here...... It's really bizarre.

Wow, Kevin! I am very sorry about what happened. If you would like me to look at it, you can send an image to [email protected] and I will be happy to do so.

What are the markings on it? This information would also enable me to double check the details for you, at least regarding what the pill should contain.

The FDA warns that these medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

I understand that mistakes are sometimes made, but this is unacceptable, under professional standards, and ridiculous.

I still have a tablet here that I am not sure about, it didn't match the rest in my bottle, kind of had a reddish/burgundy slash on it. To be honest, given my knowledge of medications, I just decided to switch pharmacies.

Please send the pic, if you wish.

Is this the only medication you take?
