Roxicodone Generic 30mg Bright Blue With V Mark (Page 2)

Yes, can anyone tell me why the generic Roxicodone 30mg with the V mark is not as strong as the R-215 or the M-30 brands of the same medicine? It does nothing for my pain!

Its strange how many do not like qualitest 30mg roxicodones. This is my favorite brand out of all the ones ive tried, and ive probably tried 75% of them. Someone mentioned throwing up on them, which for the first 3 days taking them, I too get sick but it passes after the 3rd day. What I started doing was keeping track of each brand's fillers and found that in the brands that felt like I was just taking a placebo ended up having the same fillers in them. I also found that not one brand ever had the full 30mg oxy in it, and that almost all are only reported to have approximately 26mg of oxy in them.

When I told my PM that its becoming harder and harder to find these, he suggested to only use the local pharmacies and stay away from the chains such as CVS and Walgreens because both stores are strictly monitored by the DEA and have very strict regulations due to being slapped with a 30 million dollar fine for over filling fraudulent rx's and allowing them to be filled. So there are a lot less restrictions and the policies are less restrictive at the local level pharmacies. He said the mom and pop pharmacies usually have them, and not only do they have them, but usually have multiple brands in stock. The other stores mentioned are Giant Food Store, Costco, Walmart, Target, Shoppers Food. These would be considered local and dont have the restrictions or limitations on them from the DEA.
Hope this helped some in some way.

I've already posted the answer to that question here. But i'll repost for you, this is the reason:

I'm a parapalygic, only 26 years old. I've been taking prescription opiates. And IV in intensive care for 4 years now. I take 330 mg a day of, 3, 80 mg OxyContin a day, and 90, 30 mg oxycodones for breakthrough pain. I have to take all three of my oxycodones everyday. I find the ones with the cursive type looking V on it is called the qualitest brand. When I've got these, I withdrawal, and get no pain relief from them what so ever. I made my dr write a note on my scrip that I cannot take qualitest brand. I would request this to your dr to with whatever brand you hate the most. They will do that for you if you have a decent relationship with your P.M. Dr. The fact is that there are two reasons certain brands effect people negatively. 1 the FDA will approve any pill that is 20% off, either being higher, or lower mg dose. Obviously every generic brand is going to not give you more than 30 mg. they'll give less. Reason #2. Is because even though the ignorant people say every pill is the same. There not! Every different brand has different fillers inside them. This can mess people from metabolizing the drug that you need in it. Doctors have told me, as well as pharmacists. You can even go onto each generic brand site. And it will state the fillers. And each brand has different fillers. So those are the two reasons that happens to people a lot.

Hi There- I wanted to reply to a statement I often see (I'm quoting the above poster)
"... the FDA will approve any pill that is 20% off, either being higher, or lower mg dose."

That is blatantly incorrect, and false information. I'm perplexed as to how this myth started circulating. Without giving away my job, I work at an independent lab who evaluates generic drugs. I'll briefly explain it in layman terms: For a generic to be approved it MUST show the same contents / dosage in the bloodstream as it's brand name equivalent, in multiple studies. A 20% difference (higher or lower) is MASSIVE, and would easily lead to multiple deaths / unintentional overdoses, especially in controlled medications.

In both generic medication and brand name medication, dose *will* vary batch to batch. A 2.0% / 2.5% difference (higher or lower) of the drug's original strength is deemed acceptable, and expected.

For those who continue to perpetrate the 20% myth, I encourage you to site your sources. I'm assuming someone saw the 2.0% statistic and mistook it for 20%.

I feel for you my girlfriend had same thing happen to her and pain management would not replace hers also. The only thing she could do was go to the emergency room when she could not tolerate the pain. Hide your meds good, trust no one.
