Rhodes Pharmaceuticals 7.5 325 Oxycodone (Top voted first)

The pill is white round imprinted with RP and 7.5 325. Manufactured by rhodes pharmaceuticals. It is oxycodone/acetaminophen. Have there been any reviews good or bad on this pill or compared to other manufacturers?

REPORT

I have have the absolute worse experience with every RP product. I would always have to take a few more than directed to get relief for my injuries. Every other brand, I could take as prescribed, and it would work. Im not sure what the problem is, but something is seriously wrong with all of their products. Trust me. I've been reading reviews about Rhodes Pharmaceuticals for quite some time, and see nothing but bad experiences! Don't even waste your time

I just received a script and they was from Rhodes Pharmaceuticals they was the 5/325 oxycodone and it was like I had took nothing at all very disappointed and in a lot of pain so to anyone out there do not accept any scripts from this manufacture they are obviously not up to standard for chronic pain.

The worst Percocet Gerneric I have ever taken for pain, for controlling pain the worst, upset stomach like rat poison, cramps, diarrhea. How can the FDA
approve this product when humans have to ingest this, it's awful.

Dear Baby, I am having the same symptoms, sick stomach, fatigue, diarrhea. I called my pharmacy CVS and was told that this was the ONLY brand that they would be offering, after years of the same pharmaceutical prescription and just up and changed it in one month !! Most definitely not happy with Rhodes and CVS

I urge everyone to report Rhodes Pharmacy to FDA. I am going on my fourth month of having to Rhodes Pharmacy I have no choice. They give me lil relief. Severe headaches. Too many to list. Also Increased pain rather than reduce. Please post a link for contact for any kind of action. I think they are a subsidiary of Perdue!

With government regulations going on, doesn't it seem horrible that the first to make any type of strong pain med is Purdue... And they are the ones making this horrible medication? I don't get it. Has anyone else called the company or FDA? If quantities will be cut pain levels extreme without medication? Does it not matter if this medication works or not? What a shame or should I say scam?

I received a new prescription refill from my local CVS a couple of days ago for the generic Percocets (Oxycodone/Acetaminophen) 10/325. These new pills are manufactured by Rhodes and previously the local CVS had been using Qualitest. I took the Rhodes pill almost 5 hours ago and have more pain than prior to taking the medication so I do not think they are very effective. I did not have the same issue with the Qualitest brand as those always worked within about 30 minutes after taking the medication. I am still waiting five hours later for these Rhodes pills to kick in for my pain (mostly from degenerative disc disease and spinal arthritis in all three areas of the spine, but I also have lots of other aches and pains spread throughout my body). In my opinion these pills are less effective than aspirin or even tramadol (which I find to be totally useless for my type of pain).

My experience is sadly the same. Last week CVS was provided with Rhodes Pharmaceutical brand and I've been sick, nausea, diarrhea, dry mouth, extreme muscle pain, fever, worsened pain. Before this script I always received the Mallinckrodt brand with no problems. Fortunately the CVS gave be 70 % in a sealed bottle from Rhodes and other in the standard CVS script so I reported problem. My CVS said they will have to special order but will take back the sealed. I'd advise anyone having this problem to contact CVS and have them order what generic works for you. I'm lucky to have understanding Pharmacy Technicians here or I'd be in sane boat. This is still work in progress until late and until I receive replacements. I will update later in week. However to anyone who's CVS won't comply with your request 1st call your doctor and tell them what's going on since they have no control or idea what is being ordered or replaced. 2nd request a pharmacy change form since the requires you to use one pharmacy for controlled substance and most doctors have a pain contract stating so. If your doctor is understandingly knowing this is affecting your health they should request you bring remaining script in and replace. This has been my experience. I really feel for everyone going through this cause this brand is affecting my tachycardia as well as flu like symptoms. Purdue Pharma has actually filed a legal case against Rhodes for inactive ingredients and fillers so this IS a issue.

I changed generic brands and tried 5 mg oxy Rhodes and I still hurt! It's so weak compared to Mallinckrodt. I used to get 10 325 and split them. And that really helped relieve my back pain. Rhodes is awful.

I did contact my pharmacy and they told me they have NO input into the drugs sent to them by the supplier, so basically they are stuck with whatever is sent to them each month. I did tell the the pharmacist that if she has any input to please let whoever may be in charge of the warehouse supply order know that these pills are not very effective. I may try a different pharmacy next month, but I will have to advise the prescribing physician because I have CVS listed as my pharmacy for pain medications and other medications which I take for asthma and ocular hypertension. I had attempted to call the main CVS phone number to complain but was on hold for an eternity and had to quit the call as I had something else to do besides wait on hold forever. I am not sure who else can be notified that these pills are ineffective.

Just thought I would post a follow-up regarding my experience with CVS and their Rhodes Pharmacy generic Percocet (my strength is 10/325). I called the main CVS number to lodge a complaint about the effectiveness of this particular brand and the lady with whom I spoke said she could have someone call me regarding the complaint. A man called me on Saturday afternoon around 2:30 PM but I did not answer the phone as I did not recognize the number. He left a voice mail and identified himself as a regional CVS pharmacy manager and asked me to return his call so I did return it earlier today. After my conversation with him I feel like calling the main CVS number to lodge a complaint about him. He did explain that the reason the area CVS stores (Southeast Michigan) are currently using Rhodes instead of Qualitest (which work the best for me) is because Qualitest could not fill the stock order and Rhodes had medication readily available. Then he proceeded to lecture me about the medication, saying that I have been on a narcotic for too long and it is time for my physician to explore other options. I told him there are no other options except possibly going under a knife and I do not want anyone cutting on my spine. I explained to him that I have arthritis in my entire spine as well as degenerative disc disease in all three areas of the spine, and that without medication I feel like someone is twisting a knife in the base of my spine. When I mentioned that my CVS never seemed to have the 7.5/325 which was originally prescribed and that my doctor prescribed the 10/325 as it should be more readily stocked he went into another tirade against my doctor for increasing my dose only because the lower dose was unavailable most of the time when I tried to fill the prescription. I also got the "you have built up a tolerance" lecture and the comment that there are no differences between the Qualitest and the Rhodes medication. He even told me people were requesting Rhodes en lieu of Qualitest - I doubt that since I have not read any positive comments about the Rhodes products. If I could have smacked him through the phone line I certainly would have done so. I am an educated person so I already know that people can build up a tolerance on opiate drugs. That is not the issue. After I took the Rhodes pills for a week I had a bad pain day and decided to take one of the few Qualitest pills I had left from last prescription. It was so strong compared to the Rhodes it was like taking an opiate for the first time. So I told "Mr. Manager" this during our conversation as well. He was very arrogant and condescending, and people like him are the reason I hate to even take a narcotic pain medication. But I also hate feeling like someone is twisting a knife into the base of my spine, so I do my best to put up with this BS.

While in Kroger shopping today I decided to check with their pharmacy regarding which brand they stock for the medication, and they stock Rhodes so no point in trying to fill my next prescription there.

Sorry for the length of this comment, but wanted to provide an update since I first stated that I did not find the Rhodes product to be very effective for pain control.

Please read my post from the other day about Rhodes Pharma...and these sub level generics for pain. As a nurse, I am quite schooled in meds and as a fellow pain sufferer, I have been through 41 years if pain...that more than qualifies me as an "expert" on this subject.
To add to my post.. years ago pain meds were made correctly with no wiggle room for money saving techniques that only hurt the consumer. Life had changed and I have suffered so intensely from these pharmacies and their inhuman practices that it can be hard to go on. The only recourse we have as patients and consumers is to protest..loudly.

We must form an alliance and a patient advocacy that moves from state to state to refuse these inferior drugs that are NOT controlling our pain and we must refuse to accept "whatever" generic is the flavor of the month. Many I'll people, with chronic disease or years of injuries just CAN'T tolerate these "differences"! This is not rocket science..it is obvious common sense and these pharma companies know this and choose to ignore these facts all in the name of PROFIT.

Ad an advocate for 35 years, I feel it is now time to really get serious about this issue of generic switching, 20% less active ingredients and no concerns for human suffering. Taking a stand is the only way this will change. I'm ready for a revolution..are you???

I am a chronic pain patient and have been receiving Qualitest percocets from CVS for months with no issue. Yesterday they filled my prescription with a Rhodes manufactured Percocet and it has done NOTHING for my pain. I've taken so many that I'm concerned about liver toxicity! And still no pain relief. I'm so frustrated. Nobody seems to be able to help. The doc won't write another script, CVS says they don't have any control over which brands are provided to the pharmacy. I am so frustrated and in so much pain. I'd love to add my story to a legal case if anyone has additional information. Any suggestions on how to get this replaced with meds that actually work is appreciated!

I ended up calling the main CVS customer service number to report "Mr. Manager" (Sanjay who said his last name so fast I could not understand it) for his poor and condescending attitude. When I picked up my newest prescription today I decided to try Walgreen's for this refill. They carry Actavis in my area, which is not great, but it is better than Rhodes - at least for me. Of course the pharmacist looked me up and down and did not want to tell me which manufacturer they used for the medication but she finally said they use Actavis and she proceeded to tell me that all generics are the same, blah, blah, blah...I also heard her tell the young technician to check the central registry for the prescription - I guess to be sure I had not gotten the same medication elsewhere in the last 30 days. I would not even give them my prescription until she told me what manufacturer they use at the pharmacy. I showed her an old RX bottle and asked her which manufacturer they use. When she got a crappy attitude I told her never mind I would just go to CVS and fill the script there. Right after I said that she decided to look up the brand they carry. So I can deal with this brand as it is better than Rhodes. I found the Rhodes medication to be very inconsistent from pill to pill - some were like taking nothing, others worked okay, and some were just as effective as the Qualitest which CVS used to stock until last month. I have read poor comments about the Qualitest, too, on this website and elsewhere, but of the three brands I have tried they are the most effective for me. Actavis is a poor second, and I hope to never take another pain medication made by Rhodes Pharmacy. The strength I take is generic Percocet 10/325.

I suffer from chronic spinal pain (have had 5 surgeries including two constructs). To date, Percocet 5mg. generic from Qualitest has proven quite effective in managing the pain with few side effects. Well surprise, CVS substituted with Rhodes. Was not aware until I arrived home. Tragically, this brand is ineffective at relieving the pain and the side effects take a serious toll. Have contacted my insurance company - AARP and Neurologist to secure a new script. The problem is trying to secure a generic that is effective. Shame on CVS for selling such an inferior medication. It's called cost-containment.

I'm in agreement with the negative posts about Rhodes 10/325 Percocet
I use CVS in CA and will be contacting my Dr. For a new prescription. Watson was the best Percocet experience, and have had CVS change manufacturers a number of times over the past few years. There is without a doubt a huge difference between manufacturers, and the FDA needs to do their job of regulating the quality of the products available.
