I have 3 sample of foil pks of Ultram Er 100mg Dr. gave me back in 2007 are they still safe ## Hello, Margaret! How are you? This medication does not become toxic, once it expires, but it does start to lose effectiveness and may not work as well as it did, when new. Thus, it would be best to dispose of them and see your doctor for a new supply, if you the medication is needed. The U.S. FDA classifies this medication as an opiate, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

My father has been prescribed ecosprin 75 along with Dytor plus 10mg, prolomat XL and cardace 2.5 by a cardiologist. He is taking these combination for the past 6 years from 2009. Is it safe to continue ecosprin... at this age on a daily basis. Any small scratch anywhere in the body starts bleeding and takes a long time to clot.. recently his food intake has not even been 20% of his usual intake.. Please suggest any alternate or reduced dosage. ## Hello, Devanara! How are you and your father? Given the fact that he is 92, I have to make a guess that his doctor is doing something right and it would be best to continue following their directions. While Ecosprin can cause blood thinning, which can cause bleeding that takes awhile to stop, it can also occur due to aging and the thin skin we...

I need to find out what pill i got is. It is small round light people and has a A on top and the number 31 underneath it. ## Hello, Let! How are you? This tablet does not contain Oxycodone. It is manufactured by Amneal Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 5mgs of Oxybutynin, which is used to treat urinary frequency and incontinence. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, urinary retention and blurred vision. Is there anything else I can help with?

After walking down a stretch of county hwy at the age of 14 , out of nowhere an old hull size ran truck hits me , throws me so many yards, finally landing on top of me, after being presumed dead. I was revived multiple times. i was told i would be brain dead, id never walk. It would be pure miracle if i were to even live. I've been on many pain medications in the past , but come to a point that i would try to deal with the pain cold turkey, big mistake.. Hydrocodone doesn't help nor does the 100's of over the counter medications I've tried. Being hospitalized and developing seizures over time because of scar tissue a monitor left on my brain, i still continue to break and fracture my back during seizure activity. Iv'e has my seizures under control through diet and rarel

I don't need to be told the dangers..I already know. I have chronic pain and am prescribed 10mg percocet 1 every 6 hours. But 2 months ago they stopped working for my pain. My doctor would not give me anything stronger SOOOOO I started taking them through other means and received relief quicker. I took two 10mg percocet last night at 2am. I have a Dr appointment tomorrow at 3pm where I know they will drug test me (they do anonymous testing on all, but on average it is every 3 months ..which it has been). Will my urine drug test be able to tell how these were taken??? Please NO preaching... I just need to know the answer to my question.

I have taken 10 mg Oxycodone 3x a day since December along with 15 mg morphine 1x a day with a perscription. DHS has had me do a hair follicle twice. One was around March 1st. That one showed negative for both and was the extended panel and went back six months. The second showed negative for Oxy but positive for Morphine. The 1st section closest to the scalp was 569 pg/ml of hair and section b farthest from the scalp was 211pg/ml of hair. I did nothing to my hair either times except use clarifying shampoo Wtf?? Can anyone explain this to me please?

Not everyone is seeking to feel high! Some people just had major surgery on their arm in which they are dependent on a powerful pain reliever to be able to function, combined with physical therapy! Until you have sustained an injury such as this, please don't judge! In my opinion, or at least my situation, I was prescribed a prescription to Percocet, in which I was given Oxycodone, which I believe to be the same active ingredient as Percocet and Oxycontin, except with the anti-inflammatory of acetaminophen. Excuse my misspellings. I'm just interested in the difference! As I don't won't to be a gimp all my life. I'm only 43, and became disabled and unemployed due to a simple fall. ## Yes, Percocet, as listed by the FDA, would contain Acetaminophen and Oxycodone, not j...

I mostly read stories of people having problems about drugs. Side effects, unavailability, cost, etc. I have chronic pain from longstanding injuries in Vietnam that create more pain as I am in my 70th year. I have taken most anti inflammatory meds, opioids, electrical stimulation, etc. over the last 5 decades. Tramadol is the only medicine that relieves enough pain while allowing me to function during the day. I have taken Tramadol exclusively for at least 5 years. The best benefit, aside from pain relief, is non-escalating doses. I began taking 50 mg 3 times a day. Today I take 100 mg 3 times a day, which has been my dose for the last 2 years. Previous drugs, with oxycodone or hydrocodone inevitably required higher daily intake resulting in decreased effectiveness and constipation, irr...

10 on one side on the otherwise imprint OP Light yellow square beveled or octogonal ## @Brrt, I'm not finding an exact match to your pill, but the results I am finding do lead me to believe that this is more than likely a pain medication. All pills that I have seen with an "OP" marking seem to have been linked to Oxycontin or Opana, although there may be more. A white round pill marked OP on one side and 10 on the other is the closest match I can find; which is identified as Oxycontin 10 mg. Has anyone else come across this pill before? ## @Brrt I also can not find an exact match, checking a few different pill identifier sites. I found the same as David: The closest match is Oxycodone (Oxycontin) 10 mg. round white OP 10. ## Yea. White round (small) "10" / "OP...

I take 2 50 mg pills every morning of tramadol because of severe pain. I also take 1 20 mg vyvanse and also 1-2 fioricet a daily and klonopin as needed. I had to do a routine drug test for my doctor because of what I'm on and for some reason everything showed but the tramadol and I don't understand why because I take it exactly like I explained daily. Now I have to worry that my doctor takes away my meds, but is there any reason this would happen when I honestly take it everyday?

I have generic Percocet it is oval and white. Blank on one side 9333 on the other side. ## Hello, Babygurl! How are you? I think the marking you're looking at may actually be A333. This tablet is manufactured by Actavis Elizabeth and they list it as containing 10mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I have a pill round in shape beige in color on one side 230 on the other side it has a v carved in the middle ## I have a small round pill with a line down the front of one side with a half circle with a line that looks like a E & a7 on t...

I heard oxy hcl was stronger than oxycodone acetaminophen but oxy does NOT work for me however oxy with acetaminophen works like a wonder drug on my second degree burn ## Hello, Julie! How are you? The Acetaminophen augments the effect of the Oxycodone in some people that take it, which likely explains why the Percocet works better for you than the Oxycodone by itself. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

i have taken lyrica for over 2 months with no results ## I have been suffering from severe nerve inflammation for years now. I am on Medicare/AARP and my rheumetologist put me on Lyrica. I knew I was not covered but Lyrica has this special coupon for a week free and then only $25 per month for 12 months. This drug is very expensive but I was desperate to try it. I tried it for less than two weeks and it did nothing for the pain - made me sick as a dog - exhausted, depressed etc. If I want to feel like this I'll stick with the narcotics which actually work. Has anyone had significant pain relief from this drug? I had no pain relief at all and felt just as drugged as if I had taken narcotics. I think this is a drug that is just a giant money maker and don't understand how it got b...

Why won't the Rx. Do what the Dr. Says. He fills we need that medication , what gives the Rx. To power to so no, we are not filling that prescription ## What reason did the pharmacist give for not filling it? It could be that they don't carry the medication, they are worried about how much was prescribed, the doctor may be flagged in their system, the patient it was written for might be flagged in their system…. it's hard to say, but it is up to the discretion of the pharmacist. The patient's option, of course, is to go try a different pharmacy.

I Am Prescribed 30mg 3x A Day But Only Take 1 Or 2 The Last Three Days Before My Appointment If Doctor Is Checking Levels By Mouth Swab Will He Be Able to tell that I am not taking as prescribed ## Yes, the levels will likely be too low, which in most cases is treated just like a negative test. Learn more Oxycodone details here. Oxycodone is usually detectable for approximately 4 days after last dosing. Why aren't you taking it as prescribed? ## I have a vitamin b12 deficiency and I was told this could show a low level of my oxycodone prescribed by my dr. (WHEN GIVEN A MOUTH SWAB DRUG TEST) BECAUSE MY B12 DEFICIENCY CAUSES ME NOT TO ABSORB MY MEDICINE INTO MY BODY AS WELL AS SOMEONE WHO ISN'T DEFICIENT... COULD THIS BE TRUE?

There are only two strengths of Darvocet available and the mildest one, with 50mgs of Propoxyphene is not available at most pharmacies. Darvocet is a very, very mild narcotic pain reliever. Some of the most common side effects include: drowsiness, dry mouth, nausea and constipation. ## I am taking darvocet since last few months and I never had any side effects also never face any problem due to this medicines. I strongly oppose to ban on this medicines. Darvocet really help me a lot. ## How strong is the pill with 5112 and a v under the numbers in a orange reddish color

Hello, friends! I started the Fentanyl patch 100mc today after OxyContin treatment my highest dose was 80OP up to 4 per 24 hours. I suffer from agonizing chronic pain due to severe nerve damage in my feet (medical neglect and misdiagnosed 3 years ago). I've build up opioid tolerance pretty quickly, so my doctor suggested the Fentanyl patches, plus, I felt "victimized by the system" - all and everyone plays the "Cops", lecturing me about the risks of opioids, treating me like a "junkie". Nothing against those that use these meds recreationally, but because of those very people, I will convulse in ER, and the attending doctor will insist on reaching my neurologist first before administering the pain relief... Finally, my doctor suggested these patches - I am MO...
