Oxycodone 5 325 And R/p On The Back

Updated

I had outpatient surgery yesterday and my doctor wrote me and prescription for Percocet strength of 5/325. I went to CVS and was given generic pills. Just want to know if these pills are real because if not I'm talking them back they 3.325 on the front and R/P on the back. Can someone please help me?

Yes, they are manufactured by Rhodes Pharmaceuticals and they list them as containing 5mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen.

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

Have you tried taking them, yet?

Yes and I'm experiencing nausea and dizziness. Should I stop talking this medicine?

Sometimes people don't tolerate opiates well and the side effects you have sound normal. If you wanted to stop taking them you might try just a dose of extra strength tylenol which is only the acetaminophen without the oxycodone ingredient. But at the same time that might not be enough for your pain. My wife has been prescribed percocet in the past but she declined to fill the rx because she really doesn't like how opiates make her feel. I would also ask the pharmacy what they think. Some over the counter pain relievers are more effective than others, but not all are recommended after surgery.

Thank you. I'd rather deal with the pain, I will talk the pharmacist about something over the counter.

Thank you again.
