Oxycodone K18 Tablets (Top voted first)

Updated

I take oxycodone 5 mg for back pain. I got the new K18 tablets and I read on another forum that you cant dissolve these pills. I have swallowing issues and have always chewed them. It's confusing because there is a score on the pills so I always thought that meant you could break them in half. I don't feel the effects of these pills much and I am wondering what you know about these tamper proof pills and can a person request pills and can these be safely and effectively broken in half?

The Pharmacy is tricking people or the MD? There is a difference in potency between K18 and K19 stamped Oxycodone. The K19 stamped pill does not work for pain like the K18 pill. It is designed to lower blood pressure, not pain threshold. We are all being tricked by thinking we are getting 5mg Oxycodone for pain relief when we are not!!

Is there a coating on the K18 Oxycodone tablets that prevents them from being water soluble?

Round & White Oxycodone tablets with imprint K 18 (NDC 10702-018) contain the following inactive ingredients:

- Lactose Monohydrate
- Starch, Corn
- Cellulose, Microcrystalline
- Silicon Dioxide
- Sodium Starch Glycolate Type a Potato
- Stearic Acid

I am not familiar with how those react with water.

I don't get it? I have seen two types of Oxycodone pills labeled K18 and K19. What is the difference between the two types?
