Oxymorphone Er Generic By Global Pharmacy (Page 12)
(Newest replies first)

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-)

Due to lack of coverage with my insurance, I was switched from Oxycontin 80mg. ER's to Opana as of January 1st. My pain management doctor prescribed me 60mg. Opana ER's (1-40mg and 1-20mg.) to be taken at 8am., and again at 8pm. I am also prescribed generic oxymorphone 10mg.x3 for breakthrough pain. I am getting very little relief from these new Opana's. Is it because of the timerx that's been formulated? How much more pain relief would I expect to get from the generic 60mg. ER oxymorphone? Would it be a noticeable difference? Please advise. Any information would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you.

You are correct. These generic opana's ER don't need to be abused. They are strong enough to take by mouth and help your pain.

Has anyone been told the Globals oxymorphone isn't generic Opana by their pharmacy? Everywhere I have read it says its generic but I know of a pharmacy that is saying it isn't so when you ask for generic they say there isn't a generic that oxymorphone is a new drug which isn't true because its filed as a generic and it is listed at Global as a generic. Anyone having a hard time receiving the generic? Also, people don't put on this forum how to abuse drugs. That is why they are changing all of them. You are hurting the CPP that need something that works.

Like I said before, they still gel up when exposed to moisture. Easy fix for that is evaporation process.

But I've been taking my 40 mg straight up. Since the efficacy and analgesic effect is far superior to the TRF. It's been performing absolute wonders for my pain.

They break down incredibly easy but still gel up when exposed to water.

Lucky: tamper resistant formula (TRF)

What is a TRF?

Are these Global generics coated with the same rock surface that Endo put on theirs? or do they actually break down? What strength is available?

By the way, they are amazingly better than the TRFS!!! I take 2 30's a day and they work better than anything I have tried in years! However, they seem to give me pretty severe hangovers in the morning. I tend to be very stiff in the morning and it seems as though it has gotten worse since starting these generics about 2 weeks ago. One theory I have is that since they are working incredibly well I find my self doing a lot more activities during the day, laundry, chasing kids, and a renewed sex life... Thank god! ;). I guess I shouldn't complain. Only other drawback is the cost, with insurance it was still over $400 which is a small price to pay for pain relief but is still hard to come by.

I am very glad that it's helping you so well.

Yes, the generics are available now, but it may be a bit before they can easily be found in most pharmacies, due to the monthly limits that have been placed on how much they can stock of any particular controlled substance.

So, if anyone else is looking for it, you may have to be patient for just a few more weeks.
