Oxymorphone Er Generic By Global Pharmacy (Page 2)

Hi,

Since I heard that Impax finally got the green light to distribute Oxymorphone ER (Opana ER) generic through Global Pharmacy. I didn't hesitate to rush to my PM doc and he instantly had me switch to this new drug. He prescribed me 40 mg twice per day to treat my busted back & fibromyalgia.

I noticed the pill is round in shape with G74 on one side with nothing on the other. The color for the 40 mg ER tablet is an orangy/gold color. Ever since Endo ruined their product with the new TRF formulation. I promised myself to jump back on the bandwagon as soon as the generics were released.

Today is a great day for all who suffer chronic pain. Yay! 8-)

Can opana er 40 mg display itself as morphine in a ua? The pharmacy told me that opana er breaks down to morphinee and my doctor kicked me out as a patient I just want to make sure if this is true because if it is I'm going back to pain Management and tell them they keicked me out under false pretences

Opana may come up as oxy on some tests.
The reason why is because oxycodone breaks down into oxymorphone in your body. Only a lab can actually determine if you have oxycodone or oxymorphone.

There is no way that Opana/oxymorphone will show as morphine on a d/s.

In Florida CVS, Walgreens and Publix's can order Oxymorphone from their supplier company. It isn't listed as the generic of Opana. It is listed as a substitute for Opana so they have to order Oxymorphone HCL ER 20mg (or what ever the mg is). Most places want the script wrote out that way also. CVS has a hard time ordering these every month because they have a limit on pain medicines they can order every month. Publix's has them every month. Walgreens I'm not sure how they handle these. I have found that the small mom & pop pharmacy can also order them. You need to find just one pharmacy to order them for you every month so you don't have go around to different ones every month. I use the same pharmacy for all my medicines..

Yes go to Publix!
A Good idea is to vring all your prescriptions or at least the bottles into the pharmacy and ask to speak to the pharmacy manager.
Make sure you look presentable and be very polite when you talk to them.
Let them know that you are looking for a pharmacy that you can fill all of your meds at every month instaed of having to go to several different places each month.
They definatly can get the generic oxymorphone Er tabs . Ands they also can get the generic instant release oxymorphone made by Teva which in my opinioon are way better than the generic Roxanne oxymorphs. They will even take those discount cards if you dont have insurance.
I am telling you Publix is really cool about wanting to get your business.
It is so important to keep a good friendly relationship with the pharmacy staff.
I never have to worry about my meds being in stock or not. They are on top of things there and will always make sure to have your meds in stock since they know by their computer system ahead of time that you are due for a new script.
I think I am the only customer at my particular Publix that is on the strength and quantity of oxymorphone. They never have had an issue filling my script the day I being it in,
One thing that is a little bothersome is the long wait to get your script ready. I seem to aways have to wait at a minimum of 30-45 minutesand sometimes the wait is about 2 hours. But its well worth it since I never have to drive all over town trying to get my scripts filled and being treating like s*** by other pharmacies.
I have heard that a few Publix pharmacists have been refusing to order the new gneric oxymorphone Ers, but luckily not the Publix I go to.
I guess it is up to the pharmacy manager i they want to carry Schedule II pain meds or not.

I hope I am not jinxing myself since I am getting my new scripts tommorow and will need to get them filled!

coolioni, are you still able to get the generic oxymorphone er from Publix? How is this different from opana er? Does it still have the plastic stuff inside of it that causes stomach distress? I could not take the new formulation of opana er or oxycontin op because of how much it tore up my stomach. I wonder if the generic has the same inactive ingredients in it, do you know? My pain mgmt doctor is demanding I chose one or the other but I can't handle them due to stomach distress. Hope this new generic will not do that. I wonder too if the pain mgmt doctor will be willing to write a script for generic?

The new generoc oxymorphone ER are just like the old formulation Opana Er. They do not contain any of the plastic garbage like the new Opan ER or the OP oxys.
Your doctor must write the script for " oxymorphone ER " not Opana ER.
some pharmacists may be a prick about giving you the generic oxymorphone over the opana Er. the reason why is becuase these generic oxymorphones are not a direct generic AB equivalant to the new Opana Er. thst was most of the reason why Endo changed the formula . they knew that if they did not change the formula people could just get the generic for opana without their doc specificly writing for the generic. My doc had no issue at all writing for the generic.
If asked by your doc the reason why you want th generics let them know the brand name oana s upset your stomacj, and also the generics are cheaper.
On top of them not being made with all that plastic BS they just plain work much better.
I am so glad that the FDA allowed the generic to be made . Endo tried so hard to stop them from being made, but thankfully they will be on the market for good.
Good luck!
Also do you live in Florida by chance ?
If so I can tell you what location I go to beucase I heard that some pharmacists at certain Publixs are refusing to order them in.

What part of florida are you in? Right now Publix carries the Actavis tabs for the ER, and endo generic for the 10mg IR tabs.

I love em both ! Any Publix can get them. You just have to find a pharmacist that will be nice enough to get them for you.

What I did about 2 years ago was I went into Publix with all of my scripts. (I get 10 total scripts a month) Tell the pharmacist that you want to switch all of your scripts to Publix. Just dont go there with a script for pain meds. They don't like to fill only scripts for pain meds.

Its all about the numbers to them. They need to keep blow a certain ratio of narcotic scripts to regular scripts.

So if you have a good amount of scripts and half of them are non narcotic you should have no problem.

Also make sure that you talk with the pharmacy manager not just the pharmacist on duty.

At this point I just get there the same day of my PM appointment and they have my pain meds there just waiting to be filled.

It is really nice not worrying about weather I am going to be able to get my script filled or not!

Opana ER is a brand name of oxymorphone er in the same way that tylenol is a brand of acetaminophen. If your doctor writes Opana ER on prescription , the pharmacist may not legally substitute Global Pharm's oxymorphone er for Opana ER because it is not a "AB Rated" generic equivalent, even though it is a generic med. It must be AB rated for a RPh to legally substitute. If doctor simply wrote for oxymorphone ER, the RPh could legally give your either opana er or Global's product.

Brand name opana is oxymorphone er with INTAC technology to make it tamper resistant. If you want the generic...u have to get your physician to prescribe it written as oxymorphone er...not opana or you will be required to get the tamper resistant hard plastic feeling pills. They do this so that if a dr. feels the patient has a higher potential for abuse, they can require the patient to get the ones they feel are harder to misuse but the brand is much more expensive.
