I Have Been On 10/325 Percocet - The Yellow Pill
(Newest replies first)

Been on 10/325 yellow percocet. I refill at Safeway. They gave me ip 204. What is the difference? I don't get the same relief from the IP 204. They said that is what Safeway is going with. I am stuck with these pills. What can I do?

All they have to do is put in an order in a head of time. There should be no issue. You are still the customer. I had gotten the IP's while on vacation. They just didn't do anything so I understand your pain. There are so many different manufacturers out there now a days. Believe it or not the pharmacy makes more money off generics than brand name.
Hi doris,
IP 204 is a generic form of percocet, made by Amneal Pharma. It also contains a dosage of 10/325 mg.
If there are any notable differences between this and the yellow version you're used to taking, I'd say it would probably be found in the list of inactive ingredients (binders/fillers)... No yellow dye for example.
Just for the record here is a list of inactive ingredients found in the IP 204 pill: silicon dioxide + crospovidone + magnesium stearate + microcrystalline cellulose + povidone + corn starch + stearic acid
There's also a lot of speculation surrounding the idea of generic pills containing up to 20% more OR LESS active ingredients as well. Though I haven't confirmed these claims myself, I do sense this could be the case considering that the removal of food coloring really shouldn't have that much of an impact in all fairness...
Sorry you have to put up with these weaker pills. For future reference it may be a good idea to have your doctor specify a particular manufacturer's name on the prescription s/he writes. Hopefully that'll save you the burden of having to rely on inferior meds any longer than necessary. A last resort might be to change pharmacies altogether.
