New Formulated Oxoctin

I have been on oxcotin 60's for about two years. Shoulder injury that can't be fixed by surgery. Bone issue not tissue. I am in alot of pain! Now with the new coating that they have put on them, it takes over an hour for them to work and they don't work as long! Is there anyone out there that knows of something else I can be prescribed. I have serious liver disease, so it can't have tylenol in it. Help please.

There have been many complaints about the new Oxycontin formulation, both in regards to it not being as effective as well as people experiencing odd side effects.

It is not just a new coating, though, these new tablets contain a special polymer that turns the medication into a gummy goo if someone tries to crush or dissolve it, with the intention of it retaining its time released properties.

I suggest reporting the problem to Purdue and the FDA at the following numbers:

Purdue Pharma number for drug safety/medication issues:

888.726.7535


FDA MedWatch number:

800-332-1088

As to what else you might be able to use, there are several options that do not use Acetaminophen. Here are some links for a few where you can read and learn more:

This is just to give you an idea about some other options. There is even a formulation of the Morphine available as a generic that is time released, the name brand for it is MS Contin.

Have you contacted your doctor about this issue, yet?
