Why can't I get my legitimate script filled in Tucson. What's up with that? People need to get their medicine. My condition requires me to take 15mg tablets every 6 hours. I use it for break through pain and a 100 mcg fentanyl patch. If patients can't get their required, legitimate scripts filled, patients get sick because our cycle of pain goes out of control therefore, patients are unable to manage pain. Sudden unavailability exacerbates pain and is counter productive to manageing pain. Please advise. Thank You! ## I'm sorry, but this is an information only website, it's not affiliated with any medication manufacturer, or pharmacy. As to why you can't get it filled, has your pharmacy provided you with an answer? They should be able to let you know if they don...

I ran out of my meds early and i take opana er percocet and soma what can i take to substitute the opana for my urine test if anything. ## take the percocet. it breaks down in the system to oxymorphone when you urinate by atleast 10%. it does not work the other way around. oxycodone breaks down to oxymorphone. much like hydro to hydomorphone.

white,round and letters zz ## Is that the complete marking on the tablet? ## I found a pill that is light blueish or light blueish green. the pill is round and small like a Percocet 30mg. It has a letter V on the front looks like the vicodin's letter V. Then on the back it has a line in the center dividing the numbers 48 on one side then 11 on the other side of the line. so it is 48 line 11. does anybody know what it is. My friend thinks it is a percocet 15mg. But I can't find any pictures to confirm. If anybody could help me I would appreciate it. Thanks ## Its a roxiecodone 15mg which is just like a percocet 15 mg its 15 mg of oxycodone

I have found conflicting answers to this question on the internet and think that it may well depend on how sophisticated the drugs test is and how detailed the analysis is. The reason I say this is that I attend a methadone clinic and have to give a urine test every 2 weeks. I take methadone daily and the test is negative but the week I took tramadol and the test came back positive for opiates. I went to see the doctor about this she confirmed that tramadol did make the test positive for opiates. Apparantly it is a fairly crude test that tests for two drug categories including opiates and amphetamines (including cocaine). Even though the test would only show positive, it could only identify the drug class and not type of opiate. However the test could discern between tramadol and methad...

How long does one dose of hydrocodone stay in your system? I took one and six days later I had to take a drug test, will it show up? ## It will not stay in your system that long, unless you were taking massive, and I mean massive amounts for a very long period of time. If it was just one, and the test was 6 days later, you should be fine. I would advise you in the future, to avoid playing with narcotics, they are very dangerous, very addictive, and just having a pill in your possession, if it is not prescribed to you, is illegal! ## If I take a 10 milligram Hydrocodone today at 6:00am and go for a urine drug test at 8:30am tomorrow , will i pass it ? I do not take them regularly . ## THE LORTAB I GOT MFG BY QUALIS PHAMACEUTICALS HAVE NO MARKING AND ARE YELLOW WITH A PILL SCORE IN THE MI...

I have been prescribed dilaudid for pain but I am alergic to morhpine. Am I safe or no? ## Dilaudid contains the active ingredient Hydromorphone, which is another narcotic opiate. It's related to Morphine, but not the same. It does have the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, headache and constipation. Learn more Dilaudid details here. Since you are allergic to Morphine, there is a chance that you may be allergic to other opiates as well, thus please watch for the signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives, trouble breathing, or throat swelling. Has your doctor prescribed it and are they aware of your allergy? ## Regarding Dilaudid. I always have Dilaudid when I have surgery. I have allergic problems with Morp...

The new formulation of Opana ER will be coming out the second week of March apparently. Let's hope it will be more successful than the re-formulation of Oxycontin ER. So many chronic pain patients had to switch off of that medication when they changed it due to reduction in effectiveness (mostly due to the coating not being dissolved enough before it passed out of the body apparently) and stomach problems from the coating as well. I was one myself. I am not talking about any of those people who abused the drug, but rather the true pain patients who used the drug correctly. It stinks that they have to change these medications around, the ones that are truly helping people who suffer from horrific pain, just because there are people out there abusing them. I talk to people in pain eve...

Well Kroger changed the mfg on my hydro 10/325 should I be worried? I was taking the yellow hydros. ## Mallinckrodt is a legitimate pharmaceutical company. The color/dye has been removed from the hydrocodone and acetaminophen combination products by all of the pharmaceutical companies. ## we are seeking a new supplier for our pain medication -- we are both 78 years old and moved from Michigan where there are no restrictions to New York where they have made it so clumbersome for the doctors to prescribe that they have just decided to fight back and stop prescribing all together -- my wife and I have chronic pain and need new supplier - doctor tells us to suck it up and go sit in sun and that is exact quote.

I have a script for oxycodone, I don't always take it as prescribed. I do have a urine test coming up to make sure i'm taking my meds. since I rarely take the oxy, if I take a 5mg. pill for several days in a row, will it show up and provide me a positive test result?

plain light blue round pill with no imprint but scoring on one side, tought to be a heart worm pill for my dog. ## It's difficult to be sure, since it doesn't have any markings. We can rule it out as being a prescription medication for humans, since they are required to have imprints to enable their identification. Learn more prescription drug details here. Have you tried checking with your vet? They may recognize it. ## PharmaRep ## Small round pill, VERY light blue, no imprint, crumbles very easily? They are manufactured overseas from the very same plant that produces MS Contin for Purdue Pharma. The major differences? MS Contin is super controlled release. The blue tablet you are referring to is super rapid release Oxycodone 40mg. The reason it crumbles so easily is it has .0...

Is it ok to cut a v 48 11 in half? And also will it be ok to do normal activities after I take a half? ## Anyone??? ## Come on ## Hi kay, Usually if there is a score line (divid) embedded into the tablet, it means the manufacturer purposely made it so patients could easily cut it in half. Since this particular tablet is scored, I would personally feel safe doing so. Regarding your concerns about doing normal activities afterwards, there's really no way to know ahead of time how this medication is going to effect you (since it really can effect each person differently). Taking half seems like a good place to start though, if you want to assess how your body reacts/responds to a smaller dose of it, before committing to the full amount. Some people may feel like their abilities to perf...

blue capsule ## There is no such thing as hydrocodone 100mg, and telling us that it is a blue capsue does not help, (unfortunately.) What is the imprint on the blue capsule? This will help us to identify it. ## I have been taking 100mg of Hydrocodone with 100mg of Tylenol for abt 6 years. It is compounded locally. Only compounded dose can come that high. I take 1 evry 8 hours. There are no markings on the capsule and there wont be for compounded meds. ## That is correct, the manufactured versions are only available in a max of 10mgs of the Hydrocodone, however, some doctor's do use compounding pharmacies to have medications done for their patients in special amounts. It will still carry common side effects such as: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Did you have any que...

its a small round light green pill. ## This tablet contains 15mgs of Oxycodone in a regular release formulation, which is a generic for Roxicodone, it is a narcotic analgesic. It has the potential to be habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and constipation. Learn more Oxycodone details here. Are there any questions or comments? ## Is it ok to split it in half? And what is it equivalent to vs hydrocodone?

I am on numerous other medications also so those will show up also, but I don't take the roxicodone as much as I should, I take more as times and less at times, sometimes I have some left at the end of the rx and sometimes I run out, but my Dr will stop my Rx completely if I don't pee the correct amount. I don't sell my meds, I just take more sometimes and less sometimes. I have a botched neck surgery, I don't take anything that is not rx'd to me. PLEASE help ASAP, my appt is tomorrow.

I just moved here from up north and i need to find some oxycodone 30s near southeast jacksonville ## Good Luck Even If You Find A Doctor That Will Give Them. You Will Not Find A Pharmacy To Fill Them.. It's Because The DEA Has Put So Much Fear In Them. The DEA Has Screwed The Disabled People In Pain !!!!!!

I have been in Stage 3 colon cancer remission for 5 years. Side effects from chemo have done a lot of nerve damage. My Doc put me on Lyrica the day before yesterday, 3/19/12 and after 2 tablets I have extreme vomiting, called my doc and he told me not to take anymore; yet even today I have extreme vomiting and can not keep anything down, my stomach is killing me. Hopefully after today I will be better. Again just 2 doses of this stuff, wow. Good luck to those taking it, because I have been on many of strong meds, and this one is out of the park. I too was bouncing into the walls after my 2nd dose. Very strong stuff is all I have to say. ## Actually, it's not a very strong medication, which is why the dosages for people can be taken relatively high on it. It usually works at very low...

Recently was accused by my pain doc of using morphine and hydromorphone. I am prescribed oxycontin, oxycodone plus fioricet with codeine by my neurologist for migraines. I am not sure but was told by my pharmacist that codeine breaks down as morphine and hydromorphone in the body. I do not cheat on my medications. He also did not see the drugs he prescribes in my system which are the oxycontin and oxycodone. My only answer was I assume I had a bad migraine and had taken the fioricet/codeine. I can't take the other meds when I have a migraine due to nausea. I would really like a coposetic answer because I do not take morphine or hydromorphone. I am tired of being accused of something I haven't done. I feel if I have an answer to the break down of the codeine it would be so helpful.
