Oxycontin 80mg Green Tab (Page 3)
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I came across some green pills that look like OC 80's but they are imprinted with APO on one side and OCD 80 on the other. Can someone please tell me what they might be?

I too am in Windsor, ON and have been prescribed oxycodone for almost 5 years do to two seriously messed up shoulders, 3 surgeries and what have you but anyhow, I am now being prescribed the new generic oxycodone CR's and can tell you that I've now had three different versions of them, the "PMS" (pharmascience inc), the "CO" (Cobalt Pharmaceuticals) and now the "APO" (Apotex) and they are ALL MUCH BETTER than the Neo's. The PMS are very similar to Neo's in shape and size and when mixed with water they too will form a gelatin like form but they do crush but keep in mind the powder will gum up in your sinuses if you attempt to insulfate them, the Cobalt ones don't and nor do the Apo ones. They are nearly the same as the good old contins. Anyhow I pay $301.70 for 400 tablets of 20mg to last 3 months, cash. All the generics are the same price and in Ontario they are under a dollar a tablet for the 20mg tablets, no matter if they're sandoz or teva or cobalt or apo or pms... they are all the same price.

The reason the PMS ones are "tamper-resistant" is so that ODSB will cover them. They will only cover controlled release oxy that has some sort of tamper proofing. The Apo's under no circumstance will be covered by OSDB.

Anyhow happy shopping! And in no way shape or form to I condone misuse or abuse of any prescription medication or any substance for that matter. Use responsibly and properly as that is what they're for!

@Crissy, try Rexall maybe. It all depends on where you are in the country, province, or even city. You might have to do some searching before you find a pharmacy that carries them. With all of the media so focused on the criticism on oxy, from the robberies and all, much of the pharmacies are scared to stock them, or even to do a special order. So hopefully you won't have to search much.

What's with everyone freaking on here? No one was even fighting lmao. Yeah, addicts will abuse pills, addicts will abuse what they can. But whatever, no reason to be freaking on this thread when no one has been.

ive had nothing but problems since they took the old ones away but have been hospitalized twice.1st is was hydromorphs,2nd oxyneo 3rd ms contin 4th oxy generic 5 fentanyl patches. for ppl on odsp there is something called ease of access with my hospital discharge it says discontinue oxyneo so my dr cant give it to me.everything morphine puts me to sleep. this ease of access is for oxyneo or oxycontin.my pharmacist told me with your drs. note i can get the old ones back so i figre with one discharge saying d/c oxyneo and another saying pain medication issues it shouldn't be too hard convincing my dr to write the letter. its my last hope!!!

@ToBBB, I had posted a reply on the new topic. @RetiredRN, it says that it was posted 22 hours ago, but that's not when they were released. The Apo-Oxy's were launched Nov. 26th, a day after the patent expired. Same with the Co-Oxy's by Cobalt. I'm not exactly sure for the PMS-Oxy's by Pharmascience, because their sites all f***y, but I have the product monograph for the pms-oxy's, as well as the other 2.

Apotex Canada had just released generic oxycontins all strengths. They are still not covered but are out there. ( ( if you want to see for yourself go to Apotex Canada & pull up document released March 22/2013. This will show all drugs newly released but just scroll down to oxycontin )If you need them ask your pharmacy to order them from Apotex because they can & they know it.Now Dr.'s will want to know why anyone wants the generics instead of the neo's because chemically they are supposed to be exactly the same. The only difference however is a biggy. The coating that prevents the crushing etc is a documented cancer causing agent. . Drs. shouldn't & not likely will deny you if you mention this because they know if God forbid you did develop cancer,,they could be sued & make their life miserable even if not a successful suit.If you need the oxycontin for your health go for it . Hopefully Drs. will know their patients & not end up over prescribing because this is how all of this mess started. It wasnt the addicted it was the DRs. They are responsible for putting them out there like tic tacs. Just because they have a DR in front of their name doesn't mean they get a free " not responsible " pass

@PsychRN, you're sure those were the old ones? I honestly can't see a pharmacy still having them. Its been over a year since the old ones were discontinued.

Just saw with my own eyes a 40 oxycontin ( not a neo ). I'm in eastern Ontario & the Oxy came out of a Rexall drugstore in Toronto. I guess they still arent paid for by drugplan but generics are in Toronto. I think 120-40mg was $485,,ouch !
