Oxycodone Manufacturer Not Including Ingredients (Top voted first)

I have been on Oxycodone 30 mg for several years and from several manufacturers. Recently I was given 30mg from a manufacturer called Caraco. I was taking up to two at a time followed by a third in a hour because I was not getting any relief. I spoke to my dr and explained I was going thru withdrawals and getting no relief from my pain with the meds that have always worked in the past. He went ahead and prescribed 15 mg of oxycodone so I could get a different manufacturer due to my pharmacy saying there was a shortage of Oxycodone they were not able to get any of the 30 mg due to a shortage of the drug. The only manufacturer available was Caraco. I looked them up and found they have been in trouble before for not putting the ingredient in the medicine. How can we as patients be sure we are getting what we pay for? What the Dr prescribes?

They lied they can get Rhoads brand the maker of oxycontin. Same price. I have permanent damage from one month of kvk-tech brand.... I fought them fda and sam's club and got rhoads back.

Hello, Cris! How are you? I'm sorry that you're in pain.

Do you mind if I ask where you found that information on Caraco? I've not been able to find it, but it would definitely help other people with issues such as yours, if I can provide them with a reference to it.

As to what to do, if you have insurance, you may want to ask your doctor about prescribing it as 'brand medically necessary' or whatever the equivalent is in your state, so then the pharmacy can't provide you with a generic and the problem would be eliminated.

The FDA classifies this medication as being a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Does anyone else have any advice or ideas?
