Rhodes Oxycodone (Top voted first)

Can someone cause somebody in the FDA to check out this Rhodes pharmaceutical company? If the potency can vary by up to 10 to 20% what does that tell you? They're not all the same. I have had Rhodes for two days and they're pure garbage I don't know why the pharmacy changed who's paying who off but these are absolutely terrible.

REPORT

This is what I found out on the Rhodes Pharm Percocets: The 5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg, 20 mg and 30 mg tablets contain the equivalent of 4.5 mg, 9 mg, 13.5 mg, 18 mg and 27 mg, respectively, of oxycodone free base. Therefore to me that tells me that they are not even comparable to the brand. I know they don't touch my pain!!!!

You have to file a complaint with the FDA just like I did. The more complaints the faster they'll stop forcing this crap on us! Not sure how many other people take the time to file with the FDA but we need a lot more, I'm sure. They were giving me headaches, causing dizziness, and weren't touching my pain.

I just got them today when the pharmacist knows that i had complained about them being out of my meds b4 an there is a note if they dont have my usual meds 2 check with me b4 they fill it. Instead i get handed basically half of my usual 1s, the b 48b12s and this new 1 from Rhodes and U r absolutely on point, so thank U! Was given some bs that they, the pharmacy had 2 sell me the cheapest brand left. What a crock of bs. I called my ins. co. and they said they were fine with what i was given b4! But ur right about these people always taking advantage of the nice and responsible peeps. I guess its just fine 2 give u a new pill that's at least 6x da size of ur usual 1, knowing its way more fillers than pain meds, or u could take down an elephant. Really getting sad. So i WILL TAKE UR ADVICE AND HOPE EVERYONE ELSE DOES. IT'S THE ONLY CHANCE WE SEEM 2 BE LEFT WITH!!!

Good to know about their site but they wouldn't care if they received a million complaints. They know their product isn't up to par but the US is buying it.

Rhodes brand oxycodone is by far the weakest/less effective on the market no question!! I get more pain relief from a alvogen 7.5mg Percocet than Rhodes 15mg an that's no exaggeration!

I have Neurofibromas and recently I had my pain medication picked up (my nerves pills which are supposed to be 10mg of oxycodone, doesn't seem to be doing anything for my pain). This is the first time I have ever received any with RP on them and I have talked to the pharmacist earlier today and there's nothing he can do. But these pills are like taking an Asprin. Is it legal for a company to make pain pills without putting the pain-relieving ingredient in them? Or do I have to go without anything for my pain until I see my pain management doctor? I am going to call around and see if there is a way of finding out what I need to do, to see if these are nothing more than Asprin.

To answer the question about how much of oxycodone is in these pills is that when they filed for FDA approval they have someone send in samples for the FDA to evaluate and process. If you dig deep enough you can find the report for it. Now from what i have read in the approval document ALL of the pills containing oxycodone have the following:

5mg - 4mg oxycodone
7.5mg - 6mg oxycodone
10mg - 8mg oxycodone
15mg - 12mg oxycodone
20mg - 16mg oxycodone
30mg - 24mg oxycodone

These figures are directly taken off the FDA's official final approval letter. Hope this helps everyone!!!

These suck. I am unfortunately a chronic pain patient and will be for the rest of my life. I have never received these before and they are not working. I really don’t know what to do. It as if I am not even taking my medicine

Done!!! Now if everyone does it it could maybe get Rhodes Pharm to have to reevaluate by the FDA taking a look at them. I complained to Rhodes Pharmaceutical LP, as well. There is a place on their website where you can send comments, complaints, etc.

I think you're right about wasting time complaining to them. How many millions of Oxycodone or Percocet do they Mfr? Besides, where do the other folks get their data to establish what's in the Rhodes pill? Don't get me wrong. Been on Percocet for over 8 years after 3 spine surgeries. Can't walk more than 20 feet and my pain "manager" won't budge on dose or frequency although he has been my pain doc this entire time and I've never "lost" a script or run out of meds too soon.

Re: GA Pain Patient (# 8)


I've been on generic and brand Percocet from my pain doc for years due to crushed bones from a horrible accident. I was given Rhodes about 8 months ago and I thought I was gonna die. Then back to my good generic until 2 days ago. I was given Camber brand oxycodone 10/325 and I had no pain relief but a ton of side effects that's keeping me so weirded out and sick. This is pure poison. All the Walgreens are going to this generic. I called 8 in and around me. Since I've used them for so long, they all told me that's what they all said were sent. Every single one I called. This all happened in the last 3 weeks. I'd rather have my doc put me on 10 Lortab along with my pain patches I get monthly as well. At least I would get some relief. None at all. No pain relief with Camber. Just very sick in every kind of way. Anyone else go to Walgreens and stuck with this? I'll get my pain doc to do something. I can't take this poison.

You are right on it! Same here! Omg! Thought it was only me! Not only no pain relief but odd respiratory, hot flash spikes, nausea... worst! Are we being poisoned! I’ve never til this past year had worst side effects ever from all generic percocet suddenly month after month. Only in last 8-9 months. Feeling helpless.

I went there and it asked for the NDC# and Lot#, did you call pharmacy to get this?

REPLY

Yes they should hopefully be able to give you that. If not I think it may let you skip that. It's been over a year since I filed my complaint. But I did it right after filling my script and I use a small pharmacy that had no problem helping me out.

I have had to be on pain meds for about 10 years, and I know 100% that not all generics Work even close to name brand. I had Rhodes for the first time 2 months ago and caused headaches / migraines after the first dose, I literally felt drained or low energy and the last month it actually caused diarrhea! I did just have bariatric surgery but still... diarrhea with narcotics? Anyways, I also get chronic migraines and some fillers cause migraines. There are some meds I have to get name brand if they do and the newer generics seem to be aweful. In the past Endocet worked best for generic with no bad side effect. The migraines and bad side effects got so bad and the effectiveness seemed to not be as good or I was getting worse (re-herniated discs / bulges on 3 levels, permanent nerve damage from not being able to get a dr to listen that imaging does not usually show the true extent of damage.... by the time One listened it was 2 years of horrid nerve pain in my lumbar back and drs treating me like a drug seeker. When neurosurgeon got in there it was much more severe than mri indicated, in fact the worst part didn’t even come up on MRI!!) so those suffering, keep going, don’t give up because we know if something is wrong worse than what’s showing, there are some good doctors with wisdom and compassion out there and most of all, God helps me everyday or I would of given up on Life and doctors a long time ago. Anyways...... I finally had to ask my PM doctor if he would prescribe name brand because I was miserable with the generics and he had no problem doing that thankfully. I just got them and tried them instead of generics I still had and they are so much better, more effective and NO MIGRAINE, HEADACHES OR BAD ABNORMAL SIDE EFFECTS!!

This is not the only time I’ve had to take name brand pain meds, not really thinking the effectiveness would b different but yet, there has been a significant difference, I pray I never have to take generics again. When I was blessed enough to take Dilaudid to help with severe lumbar nerve pain, ANY strength and any place I had them filled as generic caused INSTANT. Migraine! when I filled name brand there was no problems and when I filled the following month in generics at different pharmacy closer to my home than dr office, Instant migraine plus it did NOTHING hardly for the horrid nerve pain, I was miserable!! I filled name brand the following month, no migraines and the pain was much better controlled than generics. I also recently had surgery and they gave me their generic OXY- 20 mg worth and not only did it not touch the surgical pain but caused instant migraine, their liquid hyocet (7.5 vocodin without APAP) it worked better than the oxy and no migraine! So since the quality has seemed to drastically decline in last year that I’ve had to take Percocet, I think the government wants them weaker personally and don’t care if they skimp in the narcotic active ingredient but that’s also my opinion. Funny how they have been making legit chronic pain suffers like me get less meds and have poorer quality of life and even though they have dramatically cut down prescriptions and stronger meds from those who actually need and benefit from it..... the deaths are skyrocketing even more in last year or two!!

GET A CLUE DEA!! It’s not really us!! We are the ones suffering for other people being STUPID! In fact I think prescribing less is making some people say screw it! It causes depression and hopelessness because no one can truly understand chronic pain and the havoc It can wreak on your life unless you live Day in and day out waking up and trying to go to bed with it. It miserable. And not that I focus on it but I know what it’s like to have sufficient relief where I feel like my pain is well managed and my quality of life is good. We will never b completely out of pain until gods healing manifests, but under treatment mimics drug seeking and I know that I don’t ask for more help and don’t feel the need to ask for an increase when it’s managed sufficiently. But undertreated? Yea it’s hard for someone that is not you and never experienced severe nerve pain to believe that 6 Percocet or less a day ect of whatever pain meds we are lucky enough to get at all anymore may not be quite enough to live the fullest possible life and Work 8 hours a day with that constant pain that doesn’t stop. In fact when I complained nicely they LOWERED my meds to match what the government says should be enough for everyone that’s not a cancer patient so I’m scared to death to say anything anymore. I’ve also got CBD oil that costs so much money and is not affordable for many people, it helps a little, but every little bit counts. I’ve started just buying cbd isolate and making my own tincture with MCT oil, so far that’s most cost-efficient. But since so many people are suffering more it’s expensive to get good cbd products cuz the dispensaries no it’s in high demand. As PM patients we can’t try THC. Kratom has been something that can be really helpful for some people too. Good luck to u all!
