There is no immediate release 10mg Oxycodone tablet, the immediate release is only available as a 5mg tablet.

Learn more Oxycodone details here.

If you have a 10mg tablet, it's either a regular release, or an extended release which would be Oxycontin.

There is a small, pink, round tablet with the marking K 56 that contains 10mgs and its a regular release tablet, which means it will take 20 to 30 minutes to start having an effect in the body.

There's also one with ETH 461 on it that's pink and is another 10mg regular release tablet.

Do either of those match the tablets you have?

The pink round Oxycodone I take supposed to be generic and also says HCL. The pill itself on one side has a line in the center with a K on one side and 56 on the other...

Sorry, that's INACCURATE. I've prescribed 10mg IR oxycodone tablets (once, when covering for an friend who does Pain Management. 10mg of oxycodone does NOT equal Oxycontin. It would be pointless to write for 10mg of Oxycontin (if Purdue even makes a 10mg tab). It's not a drug I prescribe EVER but assuming it provides 12 hours of coverage, we're talking about 3.3mg of oxycodone every 4 hours, not exactly a dose I would be concerned about, except in terms of the prescriber's competency. I'm a psychiatrist and have prescribed most Controlled Substances, but I've never liked Oxycontin. There are better narcotic formulations for persons in severe, chronic pain and I took extreme exception to the way Purdue advertised this as if if were Tylenol with Codeine #5. Besides, when given a choice between writing for a drug that I know has street value and possibly is recognizable (the latest example is Sandoz's generic alprazolam — Xanax — which I recently learned has been dispensed so much because of its high quality that drug users and dealers DO recognize it) and one that doesn't, all other things being equal, go for the "unknown generic". In the case mentioned above, I wrote for Serax (oxazepam) 30mg caps QID because the patient was a late teen. For one of my regular patients, whom I know will keep his pills in his position, I would have prescribed the Sandoz generic Xanax.

I'm not sure the complete difference between immediately released pills or regular release pills as far as oxyCodone...goes..I have taken the 5mg tabs for years from bad accident that has left me literally unable.to walk for over the last 500+ days..b4 this I was pretty bad off with 4 bulging disks in neck fd up shoulder bla bla...ya sux 4 me..but I was put on mscontin for long acting Cuz I hated oxyContin and oxyCodone for breakthrough pain...I went from the 5's to 15's Cuz ins will only pay for that but they sucked so Dr wrote different so ins would cover the 5's 3 at a time 4 times a day...now since my last Dr fd up so badly which is why I have lost over a yr my new doc put me on 10mg OXYCODONE POINT...I don't think that most people even know there is a difference between im release and regular release..I've been on pain meds for to freaking long and this is literally the first I have heard.this...however I do know the difference between long and short acting..the 10's I m now on are short acting...don't know anything about release time but I do.know they r NOT long acting..I m now on 2 tabs 3x's a day along with the 3 long acting mscontin...I have horrible stomach issues and there r clear differances to me when it comes to some generic brands...but what I have found is simply this (again this is me personally) the harder the actual pill the worse I digest it so mg per mg doesn't matter if I get a brand that is so hard I can't digest it well. I mean physically hard. The new oxycontin I can't even digest and no it's not just the shell of the pill I don't dissolve I can't digest that Med at all...to me actually bringing in my bathroom stuff for my Dr to finally believe my stomach is messed up...also they did a test that actually showed how much of the meds I digest after taken...but all in all what is the difference would possibly be between immediate release and regular release aside from what a half he Cuz they feel and work the same and they stop working just as fast so this is just weird to me...but I will do some research and. C if I can find if maybe they have a 5mg that supposedly even though taken through mouth swallowed and stomach has to digest (which is no faster than 45min and I know this Cuz when I'm screaming and crying it takes that long for the 5mg oxyCodone to work for me) also the 10mg and 30mg both took just as long and lasted just as long as the 5mg which I forgot today is the day my Dr said to take the tens with the fives Cuz I wasn't out..lol I forgot..neways it all really works the same for me unless like I said the brand is just a hard pill..

You are wrong wrong wrong! There are 10 mg immediate release oxycodone pills manufactured by KVK Tech. I realize your reply is dated and it should be removed because it is absolutely untrue.

I agree with you! My dr has prescribed me 10mg immediate release oxycodone tabs and they are little pink round pills. I just double checked my prescription bottle and it says immediate release tabs and to take it every 4-6 hours. I have been taking these since February 2017 due to a cyst on the tail of my pancreas and my whole entire pancreas is really inflamed and causes excruciating pain in my upper left abdomen. I took a picture of my prescription refill for my oxycodone 10mg immediate release tabs, just to prove they really do exist and are not discontinued as many people have said.
