Zydus 10mg Oxycodone Underdosed? (Page 6)

Hello all. For the last 6 months, i've been prescribed various meds/treatments/pain meds for severe head pressure and neck pain. I had to stop taking any form of Hydrocodone because it makes my skin breakout in open sores (gross, i know). On May 6th, my PCP prescribed me Oxycodone 10mg 4times daily with great results and it made me very fuctional. He gave me another script for the same medication and when i went to the pharmacy, they filled it and when i got home, i notices the tablets/drug company was different. Well, was i in for a suprise. The new generics my pharmacy had were made by Zydus Pharmaceuticals and are imported from India? Well, to say the least, i've been taking almost twice my dosage to get the same effect. There's no way on earth that my tolerance doubled in less than a day! Now, my PCP thinks i'm trying to get more pills, and the pharmacy thinks i'm crazy. The first prescrption i got the 10mg oxycodone from this manufacturer: KVK Tech Inc (pink and "k 56" imprint on them. And they worked fabulous. These Zydus ones seem wayyyy underdosed as i'm taking around 5-6 tabs compared to 4 tabs of the KVK Tech brand. Any info/advice is greatly appreciated!

I TOTALLY agree! I was getting 7.5/325 totally fine. Then I got a brand ALVOGEN and they SUCKED... instead of 4 I had to take 8 to get the same amount of pain relief. So I went to my pharmacy, they told me they can only block that brand from being filled for me again... I was NOT happy with that. So I went to my Dr. He wrote me a new script for 10mg (no acetaminophen) I ended up getting ZYDUS. PHARM & THEY SUCK!!!! I KNOW my tolerance levels can POSSIBLY change, BUT I also know that I usually take 4-6 months before needing a slight increase in dosage. MAYBE if you return what you have left, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PROOF, your Dr. will write a new script. Also, I found out that we can have our pharmacy BLOCK ALL GENERIC MEDICATIONS, which I will now be doing. Good luck!

Re: Rolls (# 11)

Please let me know the results. The new Camber mfr. is also useless! Check before filling. I am useless now and cannot do the essential things at this point! {edited for privacy}. Thanks in advance! Good luck too all of us!

Re: Lyle (# 60)

I am curious what happened with this? I, too, am having major problems with Zydus not working for severe pain.

You are not crazy. Been taking plaquenil for years, Brand name, and generic. I had no problem until a week ago when they gave me Zydus generic plaquenil. From the first pill to today, it's like I'm not taking Medicine. The pharmacist thinks I'm crazy, and got smart with me. YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
