Kvk Tech Oxycodone 30mg Ir (Top voted first)

I was taking activis 30mg IR for a long time. It worked really well on pain with minimal narcotic effect. Now they only have KVK brand oxycodone. This is by far the worst medication for pain I have ever had. It has a strong long lasting narcotic effect with no pain relief at all. I'm taking it back to my Dr and getting a new perscription. Does anyone know who carries Activis and/or a brand that is comparable?

REPORT

Hey everyone. I'm a chronic pain suffer with several torn and damaged disc in L4-L5-S1 area, had my 2nd Mri done 2 weeks ago and the report showed progressive, continual damage all disc are degenerative, herniated, and 2 have tears in them. Ive been taking Oxycontin(ER) 60mg for over 2.5 years with oxycodone IR for breakthrough(use to take perocet until Actavis flooded the market with that horrible A333 pill....OMG that stuff was complete GARBAGE and made lots of people sick.

I have had no problems with the Oxycontin 60mg/3 times daily with couple KvK tech 10mg for breakthrough pain. I had such a horrible experience with those A333 percocet, I will say I am shocked to here that everyone liked the Actavis brand 30 mg oxycodone. I will never put any Actavis product in my body ever ever again.

I do find the Kvk tech brand oxycodone to be very nauseating(i thought this was a sigh of strength rather than cheap fillers, it helps me with my pain enough I guess(Albeit could be the Oxycontin).I try to take as little of the bt meds(Kvk tech) as possible, because they make me super hyper and cause me to sweat standing still... Huge difference in quality of medicine. Perdue labs has a good product, but the delivery system is not consistant, OP 60s generally require you to laydown to get the best results due to the time release bladder around the pill. This bladder releases the medicine slowly. I found that laying down caused the pill to stick to the walls of your stomach, GI tract, etc, and would deliver much better pain relief. After years my body completely adjusted to the amount (6.5mg hourly) in which the Oxycontin was released, I tried the 80mg but found them to just put me asleep and not relieve pain better.

Now I just take the Kvk tech 20mgs/ 3 at a time, 4 times daily.I get nauseated constantly, the one thing the Oxycontin never made me, was nauseated. Kvk tech pill could use some reformulation, it works okay, but for a 20mg I really do expect better pain relief. Its free so im not complaining. My Oxycontin was 1650.00 a month, back when insurance was affordable I had great coverage hut still paid 144.00 co pay 20%. Obamacare is s***ty I will say that, getting my meds is never fun every month, but at least I dont have to pay for them.

To whoever thinks M 30's are good, you are SHOT!!
Kvk-Tech makes the best generic Oxy IR due to their concentration(little to no fillers) in their Oxycodone. I have tried all but the Actavis brand Oxy IR, Kvk-tech is the superior generic brand.
Kvk-tech's 20mg is so much stronger than Mallie's 30mg IR.......I literally have to take twice as many MalinCRAP's to equal the Kvk-tech brand medicine.

Rong, were you able to find a different manufacturer than KVK Tech Inc.? I have found ZYGenerics to be effective for two months now, with great pain relief and no side effects. I feel that Kroger and Safeway have stolen thousands of dollars from me, as they know that the KVK Tech Inc. products are on the low end of the allowed scale of the FDA but continue to sell them. I ask before my prescription is filled and tell all pharmacies that I can not use products by KVK Tech Inc., but have found they write on my prescription and fill it with KVK Tech products, then I'm stuck for 30 days with no pain relief and side effects. Were you able to fix your problem?

Re: Dorothy (# 6)

Whoa. Your lecture was so incredibly passive aggressive, judgemental, insensitive and shaming, I'm stunned.
I wonder what makes you so bitter. I seriously doubt any actual "abusers" would take the time to complain to the stores much less file formally, as 90% of prescribed medications are used by legitimate pain patients. (See statistics- not online media hype). The majority of abusers obtain their pills illegally, and take such large quantities, ingesting in ways that it makes little difference. It's the people with intractable pain who truly require them that notice when there's a large discrepancy in pain relief -not euphoria- (as many stated they still felt) due to the substandard manufacturers that skimp on quality and fail to include enough of the active oxycodone necessary to provide adequate pain relief.

The point is there's a marked difference in many generics, I happened to find this site after receiving a generic brand of Oxycodone manufactured by KVK TECH, and immediately knew something was very wrong. I've discovered they not only add the bare minimum of oxycodone (and I highly suspect they are far under that as well) but their inactive ingredients have been scrutinized due to adverse side effects. I've felt no pain relief whatsoever, have felt very ill, and the unmistakable effects of withdrawals. Chronic pain patients who have had success with long term medications that controlled their pain are sensitive to any changes and will quickly respond to inferior pain medications. It's like night/day: having your quality of life suddenly taken away - unable to function because of pain and withdrawals- is unacceptable and cruel. I'm sorry you're an addict, but please don't automatically assume we all are, and that's the reason for the upset in generics. It undermines the reality of KVK's greed and the legitimacy of our complaints. God Bless.

Dorothy, You mentioned two brands of the Oxycodone that I haven't tried, the Activis and Qualitest and thanks for that info. I am relatively new to using any type of pain med to function (pain since July 2000, but meds the 1st time, a little over 3 years ago). I didn't start with the oxy 30mg, but when I moved to it, I experienced immediate results with controlling pain and didn't even check who manufactured it. I wasn't even aware that there is a difference in manufacturers. I certainly wasn't aware that the FDA allows a fudge factor of 12% on some drugs. Last summer I started having side effects, to include bladder infections which I have no history of, and the pills were not controlling my pain at all. A little slow to figure it out, but noticed a pattern of when I received the KVK Tech Inc. oxy 30mg is the months that I suffered pain and side effects. Other months that I was given Mallinckrodt oxy 30mgs, my pain was controlled and I had no side effects. Started asking some other chronic pain suffers and found they were having very similar problems with KVK Tech products. Several months ago my doctor changed my oxy from 30mg to 20mg. The first month of the 20mg oxy (KVK again) was completely awful (no pain relief and horrible side effects), which is what caused me to start researching the KVK products as I had also had the problem with their 30mg. Then a couple effective months of 20mg oxy use (not KVK), then whammy, the KVK product again and again no pain relief and horrible side effects. The following month I purchased from an independent pharmacy and was sold ZyGenerics brand which controlled the pain and with no side effects. As each of us is different, glad that their products work for you and don't make you sick. The remarks you made about Oxycontin, I can't say, about the effectiveness of that pill, have never used it. Was that pill ER as well as tamper proof? I do know that a recent addition of a different tamper proof ER pain medication to my pain management program has been absolutely wonderful. It's hard for me to understand why any one dealing with constant pain would not like the benefit of 12 hour pain relief without the ups and downs that come with using a 4 to 6 hour pain reliever. I do know why a drug abuser wouldn't want any type of ER tamper proof pill (regardless of manufacturer), sort of defeats the whole 'being high' thing doesn't it? I do believe that if a corporation ceases to make money on a product, they will stop selling the product or improve the product. That's why I suggested people who are having a problem with KVK products, try an alternative pain med instead of oxycodone. "Learning to live with it" is not what works for me and I have sometimes hurt my head hitting walls. Rules and regulations can be changed with federal agencies and each agency has a procedure to do so. There would be lots of people complaining if they were being sold gasoline, meat, or electricity that was being allowed a 12% fudge factor. Imagine 12% of every day you are without electricity, you wouldn't be willing to accept that. How about 7%, 6%? Something as important has health care should not be allowed a large fudge factor. Even though the KVK Tech products work for you and don't give you side effects, I hope you agree that the current fudge factor is too large. People who are not in chronic pain or know some one who is, don't have much understanding of how greatly this impacts someone's life. Drug abuse worldwide has gone on for centuries, selling an inferior product, monitoring cold and flu products, etc. isn't going to solve that problem. Congrats on the "former" in that abuser statement, it's an extremely hard road and you deserve lots of praise. Oh, maybe the employee of Walgreens spoke "out of school" or was guessing on his facts, but even as I may be old, my ears still work LOL

I can tell you that Kvk-Tech oxyIR is the best generic on the market currently. Actavis is the worst generic manufacturer, I suppose you didn't hear about their A333's percocet that sent hundreds into the ER??

Re: Ash (# 8)

I had been taking 20-milligram oxycodone from the generics and it worked amazingly. I recently switched to that kvk manufacturer and have been suffering from the worst debilitating headache of my life for the last 5 days. So I switched back to generic zydus and they were amazing and don't cause side effects.

Hi Rong,

I find it interesting that the KVK tech is working better for you than the Actavis brand, because many people on here are actually taking the time out to file complaints with the FDA about the lack of efficacy coming from Actavis's other pain medications - (namely Percocet).

However, when it comes to finding out what's in stock, a lot of pharmacies aren't usually allowed to tell you what they carry over the phone. So it seems like your best bet would probably just be to go in person to ask.

Due to the high volume of sales they have, I'd also keep in mind that their stock could be changing on a moment to moment basis...

I hope this helps!

I'm still around LOL Just a little name change. I am still having trouble with the KVK Tech brand oxycodone. I thought I found an independent pharmacy where I could get a different brand. All well for about 3 months and then, they weren't able to get anything but KVK Tech. They did tell me that they may have a different brand available in September, but what is that suppose to do for me this week when my medication runs out again?

Ash,
Pharmacy at Walgreens and Safeway, both told me that KVK Tech oxycodone is what they will be filling prescriptions with for a long time. That their corporations had purchased large quantities of this medication at "pennies on the pill" so that's what they are going with, Corporate Profit rules. All three of the pharmacies here, told me that many of their customers are have problems with the effectiveness of the KVK Tech products, that I am not alone. Not being alone isn't much of an answer for my problem LOL. Walgreens and Safeway are who guided me with moving to independent pharmacies, to get the brands other than KVK.

WOW!, I'm amazed at what you said in your post but being an organic chemist it does make sense to an extent. I've been on the kvk brand but 10mg for years now & I had great results with them, being my cicumsrances ( Dr's want me on much stronger meds but I just refuse ) but at my last appointment I was telling my doctor that they just were not helping that much anymore ( I figured a light tolerance only 4* daily @ 10 mg kvk brand ) so she asked me if I would like to go up to the 15mg & drop it to 3* daily, and said she understands I don't want to even be taking these meds but I have a shattered hip & other serious issues, sorry to get off the topic here. So I accepted her advise as she is very knowledgable in medications & that of the human body, especially being we are both women. I took the precription to get it filled, was actually just a little bit more because it was a tier 3 drug, ( yes I know same active ingredient just 5mg or 3.963 actually and after all these years on the KVK, I was given a bottle of a different brand & it was Actavis, I didn't realize this until I was having bad side effects which started as bad headaches then into no pain relief & I just then decided to look at my RX bottle & in the right corner it said actavis. I was shocked being my pharmacy uses only KVK for their oxycodone. Being all my schooling & knowledge into these medications I decided to contact Actavis, & was told that since their big shut down & taking over of Watson that the DEA & FDA both agreed to let them continue to make the medications only if the mixed a little NALTRAXONE in w/ them. So I now see the issue & plan to discuss w/ my doctor next visit for now ill just have to bear it.

Those A214s make me feel like I'm on dope with zero effectness on my cancer pain. Who do you work for there company activis Huh? I have to take three 15mg to come close to the pain relief I got from one kvk tech k8 take a look at all the filler on that activis poison pill!!!! I never felt drugged like I do know that I'm on that activis poison pill!! With the kvk tech and a small dosage here 15 mg my pain was completely negated and I felt alive and alert not doped and I didn't feel sick to my stomach.
If anyone out here knows where they carry this in the state of Florida I would travel they were that effective.
Shame my pharmacy was Ike Oh if it was a blood pressure medicine I could order different for you. However, narcotic they can't and will not!!! *how gosh dern fair is that? So take it or leave it..

Sure, no problem. From one of our many finest quality stores, you have an amazing sort meant & since you're in floriduh & do not forget to stretch the DUH !!! The fact is Florida is where everyone goes to die, don't get me wrong had some amazing times there from a young boy to even still now but pills, damn anywhere in Florida is FLOODED w/ narcotics of all kinds. Me I have terrible Thorasic issues & not to go in detail all the fluid in my docs has been slowly all pushed out & to be honest this drug is a lil Tiger but also a comforting pillow to my pains that require only the 15mg ones that I get where they carry at the pharmacy, on the 10mg IR's, all they carry in that strength & from there up its the beginning to has a very pregidist outlook to the 15mg really 13.5 of oxycodne, 30's for all brands is 27mg. As the salt bring the HCL. In the end of the substance oxycodone & I will say I've tried the new Purdue Instant Release 15's & you want to hear about fillers, their like the size of a huge one (1.) mg. xanax footballs, stuff that is even listed on the FDAs site & not allowed even be in our foods, & for my ladies your cosmetics are using some of the same phillers. I just wana say that today's A214's everyone is talking of & on a site dedicated in title saing the brand kvk pharmacy. You can bet your ass & also guarantee what I'm going to say to be true & correct. I've been taking mostly the Actavis brand & I personally think it's by far superior & higher a to the what I call the sick pill, me & my pharmacist are pretty good friends, so I know quite a bit of s*** in terms of all these different pain meds & I agree they just help me to be in low pain numbers. I'm in Miami currently & then off toCalifornia, so I'm very busy. With as many doctors in Florida as again this state is just loaded w/ old grumpy living off of us hard working of people working our asses off, knowing DAMN well that the people's are paying very large sums of money to pay into a corrupt organization yes that's right the IRS even knows & just had an interview of this dude. The actavis brand instant release form of oxycodone, is WITHOUT a doubt totally different than those of the early mid nineties., the a214's are a whole different ball game on reference to how they work, and a couple ingredients that I don't know, but im sure if your that mentally just not worth it, to be honest in the way your looked at from a percocet which the all contain 8.33 mgs & the 10mg Oxycodone 10mg IR's from KVK brand & then their 15,20's & 30's are beyond my pharmacy are the only ones is going out their way anymore to take the time, ingredients & they shouldn't really toadstool but I take the old fashion box that now it's not hust thae most amazing formula & to anyone hey ladies around the time, but paying like myself a great large percent of money into the Social Security society of America, so sith all the family here & around all, CHRISTMAS in Florida for their nice cars, new homes, beautiful starting to get scared & have been to treat the pain & suffering that plague our society because the damn DEA is going out their way stop & or make it even harder to find a in depth doctor, & also the Pharmacy which as anyone knows this script is hard to fill unless you stay with the folks that I do, soon I think that true opiated based & partial like the condone base inside both oxycodone & hydrocodone, mark it the day I have my great speech, and mark it the day of Pharmacists to stop playing both doctor, law enforcement, code regulator, which sucks because of all these a**holes whom are getting scripts for pain & selling the pills on the street, that's not cool man it's not cool, over half the reason why doctors don't take the chances, when in their Hippocratic oath, in the very beginning, it states very clearly that with due technology & abundance of supply, no patient should have to suffer in pain but rather to at least help maintain their Idea & that going to be a pain medicane so good it will kill any & all pains, from headache to intensive surgery, etc. I have Lil to zero respect for big pharmaceutical companies but i would say that the best part is as these drug companies get more & more monies their making, & the often rude, disrespectful & judging & or doubting, overall being a**holes because well moat od them & they are NOT all bad but the adverige treatment to a customer that's no the disrespecting a customer whom has put his or health into risks beyond belief, sorry to get on an outburst their, I just want to start seeing some good, & old school ways and putting quality into a product, by the way those Rhodes pharmacutical brand company is actually owned by Purdue Pharmaceuticals, and the drug stores that carry this poisonous trash & I'm being serious here, (DO NOT GET STUCK WITH A MONTH OF THAT JUNK, it will be a very bad month & take your business) I even on my last appt., with my pain management DR. I showed her the junk & told him of them to make a call to all pharmacies nearby & they are no longer selling that trash, being a pharmacist is a cool job actually, one I could of enjoyed but to late now, I do love doctor, she is amazing & is also very passionate about not living a life full of pain & if anything I might go to school for a tech. Position & travel again till I find out where I want to put my roots down at, northern Cali., which honestly is a great place by me, but changing doctors is something I don't wish to do. I'm going today that the best guys out the are vintage/Qualites pharmaceuticals out of the US. I apologize for rambling & I hope my spelling & grammar was good as I'm not in the mood to check it all. I say to all my friends & family to try & support the smaller guys, like mom & pop stores, bad enough having to take this s***ty medication but it's honestly helped me very much & again I couldn't thank my doctor enough for all she's done & gone out her way to do & see the morning, a point that needs to be made here, having to suffer from bad pain is not very civilized. So I'm going to say if you can get your pharmacy to order for you, by far the best brand of good as close to the original formula for oxycodone IR, is by far & hands down the very best, as two 15's of the Actavis, which by the way upon recently Actavis buying out Watson pharmacueticals, then moving their operation out to Ireland, and their not shy to admit having to avoid paying the US & the IRS a bunch of monies milluona, than you got to think if they will do that than of COURSE their willing to take away quality in regards to their products, that A333 pill your all b****ing over, took the place of the circular 10 mg percocets which is a big bummer, because of their amazing quality. Good luck to all & I pray they do make a drug you can take and literally take ALL our pains away no matter the significance of the particular situation. Peace.
