Generic Percocet 10 A333 White Oblong (Top voted first)

Anyone had stomach / intestinal effects from this particular form? I've been switched from Watson 932 10/325 because of drug store supply.

REPORT

I have had very bad stomach & intestine problems with the percocet 10-325 A333.. I also do NOT think they work at all for my pain. Never will get them again, if I have to live like this with chronic pain forever !! They are made by Actavis Elizabeth LLC. The co-pay is ridiculous too for nothing. They will go in the trash & I will live thru my Gods healing, the best I can.Hope this helps answer your question on the A333s.

I finally got my replacement Endocet and they work great. I did see someone post that they spoke to a manager from Actavis and they stated that it was supposedly a placebo they were using. That sounds like a bunch of BS! Another person said the Actavis A333 is now being called Poison Perc's. I just wonder why with all the complaints being filed, that this Actavis garbage hasn't been removed from the market, and reported on the News. Maybe Actavis screwed up the batch they made with the drug abuse deterrent formulation and added more of that and totally left the Oxycodone out? Whatever it is, they need to get it recalled and removed from the market before more people are harmed by it.

In reply to Michael, Michael even though a pharmacy may say the pain pills they have are from Watson, be sure to ask them if they have the A333 imprint on them as Watson and Actavis are One and the Same Company now and are producing the cheaper A333 pills now to CVS, Walgreens & other pharmacies. The pharmacies are saying Watson, when in fact it is the A333 pill version, not the regular Watson that Actually WORKED for pain. CVS was the only pharm around here that carried the A333, but now as of last week, Walgreens are as well and saying the pills are the Watson's when in fact they are the A333's. When my pain dr writes my rx for my medication now, it is specifically stated that I am Not to receive the Actavis/Watson A333 pill version! The only reason I know this is my regular pharm was out of my pain med and had been for almost 2 weeks, they told me to try CVS and or Walgreens, CVS had the A333 and Walgreens told me they had Watson, so I asked the pharm specifically if the pill had the imprint of A333 & he said Yes, that is what we are being supplied with now. Thank-fully my pharmacy finally got in their supply and they Do Not Carry the Cheap A333 Version. I am hoping other people that have had similar side effects with the A333 pill will call the company and submit a complaint so this med can be double checked by the FDA, as it has many bad side effects. There is something in this med that caused me to have medication poisoning and I Had Never had a reaction to the regular Watson the worked for pain. All I can say to anyone that gets this med and has side effects or has had, please report it, go to Er and get this documented so something can be done about this Bad Medication.

Hi Michael,

According to the Oxycodone Drug Details page, this medication can cause GI related side effects such as: diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, vomiting, urine retention, and loss of appetite.

I don't know which of these symptoms you may be experiencing, but I believe they can be relatively common amongst other possible side effects.

It could also be due to having a different set of inactive ingredients (otherwise known as binders/fillers). If you have a known allergy to things like corn starch (a gluten derivative) or propylene glycol (which is also used in motor oil for your car), then this might be worth looking into. I have no clue why they put in food or medication, but I'll leave it up to the FDA to answer that one. I've noticed that some other brands of Oxycodone actually contain this. However, to know for certain you'd have to locate a list of inactive ingredients (which I haven't been able to find on this specific tablet).

Hopefully this info helps clear up what might be causing your stomach problems. Does anyone else here have a list of fillers that are used in this pill?

The A333 has also made me have upset stomach. I know of three other people who also has been changed to the same and they to are getting bad results which include upset stomach, acid reflux ,abd cramps,and worst of the effects is there is no pain relief ..I know of a person who was being diagnosed for drugs on the spot, before and after taking the medication and the results can back neg. for oxy. The Md Called the Phamacy, I have not since heard any further info..I have complained to CVS for 3 months that these A333 have no oxy.

I picked up this medication A333 yesterday at CVS due to my regular pharmacy was out of the Watson, they called CVS for me and CVS agreed to fill. Well they don't work nearly as good for pain period, plus I have had stomach upset and vomiting ever since taking. This crap needs to be taken off the market, its horrible. Now not only do I have to live with constant pain 24-7 I am also sick to stomach & vomiting!

Selena, Please Please Call the Actavis Hotline and Report your side effects to them and or go to ER! your side effects are more severe than mine were & I had to go to ER & was DX with medication poisoning. Do not take any chances with this A333 med, its really bad news and a lot of people are having severe side effects the longer they take it. I only took for 2 days & couldn't keep anything down, severe stomach problems, excessive vomiting & general ill feeling all over, I am still having stomach problems as well & it will be 3 weeks tomorrow that I had to go to ER. This med provided no relief from pain period, all it did was make me deathly ill & gave me medication poisoning. I cld and submitted a complaint, that is Why I am Urging Anyone who has taken this med & is having side effects, don't take chances with it, Stop it and go to an ER and make a complaint about this medication. Something is not right with this medication esp since more & more people are having such bad side effects, its not just a fluke & happening to a few, its happening to a lot of people. Don't put your health in danger because of this med. This is just my advice and my experience I had with it, I just wouldn't take the chance with this med.

Selena, I am so sorry you are having such a hard time. I simply could not take the A333 at all, 2 days was all I could do and I was so sick by time I got to ER, they took me right in which does not happen at our ER around here, Then they dx me. I had a difficult with my pain dr as well, but I did take the A333 pills into dr along with my ER notes with DX on there, I did not make appt, I just walked in as getting appts is very difficult. Because of this type med, drs have to keep record of all rx they write so its difficult to get another script unless problems arise such as mine with this med. The Er dr stated that this dosage is so hard to get as so many are rx this dose & abusers along with the pill mill drs we have, this dosage can be impossible to get, but suggested to my dr to rx the lower dose, but prob with that is you have take more, my dr wasn't great with that solution, so dr rx my scripts stating Patient Not To Receive the Actavis/Watson Brand A333 pill. Walgreens, CVS & local pharmacies around here Just Carry the A333 Brand now, its cheaper from what I understand for them, the A333 Does Nothing for Pain & how they get away with selling this med is beyond me. If I were you, I walk into my dr and explain you simply cannot take this A333 pill, explain your side effects, see if your dr can offer you something different, just take your meds with you. Maybe your dr can give you another script for lower dose until you are able to get another brand of this med. Some grocery stores have pharmacies, you may need to go in person to pharmacies and tell them what is going on, there has to some pharmacies or grocery stores in your area that DO NOT CARRY this Awful Brand. I really would not take it with the side effects it is causing you, esp the pain in arm, I didn't have that but I wasn't able to take them any longer than 2 days, well I guess 2 1/2 days - but I am still having pains in upper stomach area, nausea has gone away,, but I received nausea pills from ER. I did experience no appetite as well, but who wants to eat with upset stomach and then vomiting every 5 minutes? If you have Insurance & have to go one pharmacy, call your Ins co and let them know whats happening, that you must go to another pharmacy for your med. I am hoping your dr will write you another script for your pain. I suffered pain for so long because of this med & then pharmacies being out of my med, I couldn't take it, luckily my pharmacy did get my med and does not carry the A333 pill. If your pain in arm persists, you may need to go to ER again, you should not be suffering because od this med. I seriously think there is something terribly wrong with the A333 pill & it will cause more trouble the longer people take it in my opinion. This A333 pill is horrible and I will never take it again, I cant take it. I know walking in your drs office is a bit extreme, but with the pain and side effects you are having, its worth it until you can find your med Selena. There is no reason you should have to suffer because of this med, you are allergic to it. Good Luck to you, hope you find some relief soon.

I read the article too, IDK it does talk about OXycotin then speaks of generic oxycodone. I think a lot of people are scared of this A333 med & I for one am one of them after needing to go to the hospital for medication poisoning & yes they listed the Actavis A333 as the Reason. There are a lot of things going around about this med, but again I believe it is because people are Scared & Clearly it does not work and is making people ill. I have no desire to try it again and or maybe get used it, Forget it, after my experience I will not ever take this Brand. For those of you who haven't suffered side effects, I am very happy for you as I would not want to anyone to go thru what I did. There are quite a few people who have suffered from this med, so I know this is not an isolated incident or just me. As far as the article, again IDK, but I truly believe there is something in this pill that isn't right & Actavis is supplying us with Pure Junk.

Im in Georgia. ..and im sorry Jessicalady....something just doesnt sit right with me about ur posts. I would never think to look on the internet n research a medication that did me justice...n ur on ur third month n still looking? U mwntioned u were seriously upset it works for u n not others? The reason why everyone else is on here is not the same as urs...everyone else is getting sick from this medicine and are having no pain relief. ..thats y they seeked answers. If it worked for them, me, or everyone else on these sites, we'd have nothing to seek out.

TOM....im glad u were able to get endocet n theyre working for u! Whoever told u an actavis manager told them they sent out a placebo. ..that IS bs! They wouldnt send placebo s to pharmacies to distribute. ...that would create the biggest legal suit in pharmaceutical news! I cant even imagine. ...nevermind no one would ever volunteer that info! This crap is bad news. ...period! We have been horribly ill from withdrawals, then this medicine, on top of being in horrible pain from our ailments n the above. I really do hope the company pays hard for the pain theyve put everyone through! Jessica. ..like I said before...im sorry.but I cant help but think twice about what youve said. If youre the only one out of tons of us, your testimony doesnt give us hope when we're bent over sick with no relief. The only thing that will give sufferers hope is sharing knowledge and advising what has helped that one may of not tried...like I did for Tom and now he's back on his way to being functional again. Im not trying to sound mean if I do...just honest

I talked to the Walgreens pharmacist about Actavis oxycodone. He told me he had other complaints. He put it in my records that Actavis doesn't agree with me. Now he orders Endocet brand for me which seems to work better. I still think the Watson's brand worked the best for me but it might be because I have built up a tolerance to the medication. I don't know about that but I do know the Endocet brand works better than the Actavis and it doesn't make my stomach rumble either.

I was in a car accident 10 years ago and have chronic pain & flare ups of herniated discs and bulging discs inflaming and pressing on nerve causing severe pain in C-spine , T-spine, & L-spine along with partial tear in rotator cuff. Needless to say something is always flaring up. When really bad I get an epideral inj. but I take narcotics in between as needed. I used to take darvocet until it went off of market then my PM doc switched me to Percocet. I didn't have a problem until last year spring 2014 when activas bought out Watson. Now I am hyper sensitive to medications already so a little benedryl is not abnormal for me but this was uncontrollable itching with about 150 mg of benedryl on board, topical benedryl spray. Felt as others felt kind of like medicine poisoning. Gave it a couple days to see if my body adjusted but it did not. Told my doc so she switched me to Norco this was WORSE, uncontrollable itching for like 12 hours nausea, headache- called the pharmasist who told me it was also Watson (which is really now Activas) he suggested it was something in their filler, and stop taking and talk to doc.... Well my insurance company won't cover name brand, they told me to try endocet, roxycet, or mendocet..... Walgreens & CVS in my area all don't carry these drugs and all use Same distributer who uses Watson for both hydrocodone, & oxycodone. So my doc wrote for Percocet brand name. Wow what a difference. No side effects, one 7.5/325 took care of my pain, instead of 2. Only problem was neither Walgreens or CVS carried the drug brand name, none in my area!!! Finally got it filled at Costco. 20 pills.... 189.00 dollars. Ridiculous. It is pathetic that we are at the mercy of insurance company's, manufacturing company's and suppliers for our drugs. Anybody who suffers chronic pain or any chronic condition for that matter already doesn't feel good. Then to go on a wild goose chase to get quality good meds we need. Who has the time & energy for that!!! Now I get the fun of appealing my health insurance company to cover brand name cause of bad reaction to generic. Good luck to everyone, hope u all feel better soon!

Hi, No side effects from the A333's, but they do not work as well as the Watson 932's. I should know Because I have been taking oxy codone's for a few years. They are made by the same company, but I believe the A333's are the generic of the generic brand... Watson. I will make sure the pharmacy has the Watson before I give them my prescription. Good luck

I had to go to ER after taking the A333 pill, I was DX with medication poisoning from the ER dr's . I had only taken 4 pills in the course of 2 days due to these making me sick and still had to go to ER because of this med. This med is extremely bad news. Severe vomiting, stomach cramps for 1 week and they did nothing for the pain, all they did was make me extremely ill. I cld the company that makes these and also Watson cld me, both companies said they are reporting this info to the FDA, but from what I understand, these pills will continue to be manufactured as they are cheaper to produce & will be supplied to CVS, Walgreens and some other pharmacies. Also even though a pharm states they have the Watson's, be sure to ask them if the pills they have are the A333 or something different, as Watson and Actavis who makes A333 are one and the same companies now. If at all possible avoid CVS and Walgreens now as they will have the A333 so called Oxy.

Sunni, I got those A333 last month as well, I felt as if the pain was not going away, I had not had much sleep for a few days due to pain when I went back to the Dr# but I did say something about the pharmacy being out of my normal medicine and the ones I had did not seem to work well. This month I went to CVS and got the same A333 filled on Feb 18th and when I got home I felt really bad, II just could not understand what was going on, It was a chase to get the meds and when I did it was the same crap, A333, My stomach hurt, I was sick, I could not eat, I had chest pains, heart burn, numbing in my arm, and still in pain. I am sure I will have to suffer the rest of the month till the 18th of next month. It is gonna be a long road. Here is a thread everyone can read about it. I am gonna report it but what will I do till next month? It hard to get into my Doctors. I am sure he is dealing with alot of this now.
