Percocet Blue Pill Alv 196
UpdatedDoes it have less Tylenol than other brands and are they just as strong as other brands?
Hello, Chazzy! How are you?
This tablet is manufactured by Alvogen and they list it as containing 325mgs of Acetaminophen/Tylenol and 5mgs of Oxycodone.
The FDA classifies this medication as 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.
I still have several left from the time I had a kidney stone and they worked great for me.
Is there anything else I can help with?
This blue percocet seems to me like it has some type of stuff in it that causes it to gel. Anyone else get that? Also leaves a extra bad taste in my mouth.
Hi I'm a RN. Pharmaceutical companies started making opioid pain medication to where they made a gel like substance because of the drug abuse. In this event the medication is not able to be misused and causes a gel substance on the inside of the nostril. Still perfectly safe to take it as prescribed.
It makes me feel s***ty not like other Percocet. I think they're not real.
Well i don't know about them being abused but if i swallowed it i get very sick n vomit. I only take what is prescribed to me. Just noticed it gels a little bit.
I detest those that abuse this medicine as it makes it hard on those of us that need them for pain! I wish the abusers could spend 6 months in my shoes (especially in the winter time), and just maybe then they'd see what they're doing to us that need them for actual pain!!!
As far as the 'gel' I don't know what the people are talking about, I mean the ones that say they take them like they're suppose too. I haven't seen or felt any 'gel. Take care and have a blessed day~
You are so damn right, why do we have to suffer if the person using has no reason to have it? That's them!!!! I'm so f***** tired of hurting cause other ppl abused drugs. I am fully disabled and cant get one not one pain pill. I have an mri from hell. Are you serious? Im not a dog, a user, call it what ya want! It's my medication. I could go on an on. The world has gone crazy.
Addiction is not a moral choice it is a disease of the mind just as your pain is not a choice so get some facts and stop being so judgemental it's people like you that keep ignorance going and going generation after generation
Agreed very much. I've tried repeatedly to swallow them. They make me very sick. I take what is prescribed. Just take it differently. It's not pleasant, it's not fun, it's just the way i have to take it.
You don't just become addicted. You have to start somewhere. If you didn't use as prescribed, that is what causes people to get addicted. I've been taking Oxycodone for years and use them as directed. I have no urge to take extra or abuse it! If you abuse them it is for one reason only and that is to feel high! I have family members who misused them. I know how they got addicted and that they aren't anymore.
If you needed it as bad as you claim the Dr would give it to you. They can tell the difference in need and abuse, so get off your high horse.
So the drv knows if I'm really in pain? I guess that means my mouth don't hurt when my teeth are falling out and my back don't hurt shortly after surgery? Only you know if your in pain. Just because someone has "Dr" in front of their name don't make them a mind reader.
Having back pains and can't sleep sit up straight or walk
Amen, you said a mouthful. I'm in so much pain I believe that.
I self medicate and cant afford a doctor. Thanks to all these docs that know their patients are not taking their prescriptions but are instead selling them.
HI, I've never heard of "Alvogen", Inc. pharmecutical. Are they new? Are they good? I've only taken Watson-Activis, Rhodes and Qualitest. CVS does not carry any of these at present. I just hate when you find a manufacturer product that works, only to have CVS change the manufacturer. Thanks for any info u can give me.
I too started taking these ALVA blue 196 Pills. There as not as effective for pain as the other generics. The pharmacists said it is my "head". They are all the same. Baloney. Does anybody else have this experience?
I took one of those blue pills and had a smashing headache for about 24 hours. Switched to Activis brand, but had to switch pharmacy as cvs didn't carry them. Personally, even tho I am in a lot of pain, I rarely take any of these pills. Too many side affects. And, when you get them, you have to take whichever manufacturer they are using at the time. Too much trouble all around.
Taken these blue pills for after gallbladder operation. Been up for 2 days. Stay up all day and save a pill for night. It is 3:56am. No sleep yet.
Can you make soup out of them? One time we all had to eat hotdogs all the way home. And that was from pa!!

Yes, it’s not the same

Amen to that sister I agree with you wholeheartedly good job
Re: Jp (# 5)
The GOV wants people who take this pill that improve our lives to suffer because of all the people who died and did not take these pills responsibly. They DONT care about the TONS of DRUGS coming across the southern border and killing Americans.
Re: Cynthia (# 6)
i agree with what your saying. Winter months are the worst for me too. I just take my medicine by mouth and glass of water. If they are insufflating them, they are abusing them, not for actual pain. Which is making doctors less likely to prescribe for those that really need. I had a back surgery and two broken shoulders and left leg nerve pain. It bothers me that folks go see a doctor who gets pain medication just to sell them out on the street. There is a problem and the ones who actually take their medicine get punished for what others do with their medicine.
Re: Dave (# 11)
You are completely wrong. Drs are scared to death to prescribe opioids on a regular basis.They may prescribe 10 or 15, but for people like me, after having 7 operations, I can't get any unless I pay a Dr. $250 cash a month, plus a drug screen, plus the cost of the medication. All I take now is ibuprofen, which will eventually eat my liver away.
Re: Very tired (# 54)
I hope you weren't responding to my rambling statement. I did not intend to condemn anyone for any reason. I am just afraid there are voices in charge ion this country who have a finger on the trigger and are eager to remove all pain mds from everyone. Of course I am addicted. I tried to cut my meds out but I will probably need the small dose I am on now for the rest of my life. My beloved physician retired 5 years ago and I thought my life was over. Other doctors would not accept me as a patient because of the dose of meds that I was on at the time. I had the last medication he had prescribed and I stretched it out as far as it would go. Luckily, I found the pain and surgery doctors in the large facility of which I am now a patient. I had to have x-rays, ct scans, and mri s to support my need for medication. I actually got to see these tests and read the reports that accompanied the new testing. It scared me to really see what was wrong with my back and to understand how bad it actually was. I had the surgery and they did a beautiful job. I can move more now than I had been able for at least the last 10 years. I have been blessed. I will never be 30 or 40 or 50 years old again. I have finally accepted the fact that I am going to have to learn to live with what I am able to do and what I won't ever be able to do again if I am going to live my best life ongoing. I used to walk up to 7 miles a day; depending on daylight savings and the weather. I am toddling around a bit now and if I could just diminish my suddenly severe dizzy spells, I would get back to my walking habit. I have a really cool walker that my cousin gave me. It is a dark red with black details. I'm sure he chose the colors so there wouldn't be any fighting about whether it is an "Alabama" color or a "Georgia" color. (I am the Alabama fan.) Maybe I can figure out how to navigate "the hill" in my part of town with my new ride! Any suggestions for approaching this goal safely would be appreciated.
And, for anyone in a similar situation as the one I was in with my medication, you have to see what you have and determine the smallest amount that will help you just enough to make it through the day. There are always situations that will wear you out physically and/or emotionally and do not beat yourself up if you decide to take another pill before bed. I am not a physician or a nurse. But, I have experienced the fear of how terrible the future would be without medication. I got very close and I don't want to go there. I was down to one dose a day. I nibbled on it when the pain was too much. I was taking 1 10mg tablet a day. I had been on 50 mgs a day, including zohydro. My medication now is reasonable. But it was a long haul. Don't lose faith. And God bless those who are not able to stop and protect themselves from the outcomes associated with acquiring drugs on the street. This brings me to my last question about statements issued about "how many lives are lost each day due to drug abuse. This statement or similar ones are issued almost always in the report about "drugs." Included in the group are people who buy drugs on the street and then die from overdose. And, why not focus on the drugs coming across the border? These are the drugs that I believe are doing the real harm. The powerful need to "man up" and take on that tiger instead of grandma and grandpa or aunt, etc., who are living in assisted living or nursing facilities and have no access to anything if their doctor tells them that he cannot justify their use of their medication. These are the people who I really worry about. And I truly ache for their situations.
I have severe back injuries. I had surgery Christmas eve that instantly stopped the harsh, sharp pain that traveled up and down the right side of my body. I noticed immediately that I was pain free for the first time in months. I asked the nurse to disconnect the self-administered morphine drip bag. She wouldn't. I got on the phone and a friend showed up and I went home. The nurses were angry. I had a shower earlier that morning and the aide who helped me get into the shower had another call so she had to leave me. I had no dry towel or washcloth. I had to sit on the little tile box that is handy for shaving. She didn't come back. I was freezing cold and finally started calling out for help. A few nurses rushed in. The aide had gone to lunch. One of the nurses asked me why I didn't use the little hand towel to dry off. I pointed out that it was soapy and dirty. I had used it because that was all I had to scrub with. Later on when I realized that the doctor said yes, I could go as soon as my ride arrived. I made a call to the central desk and asked if my phone charger had been found; and gave instructions to call me if found A saw a nurse lurking around the outside of the room door. The atmosphere changed. I let the nurses know that I was approved to leave and I needed my medicine and discharge instructions. They took hours. It was terrible. I finally wheeled down the hall and found my nurse handing out meds. She had skipped my room. She refused to give me my medication until she finished with her rounds (three more halls of patients.) My friend came. I went to the main desk and nurse headquarters on my floor and told a nurse that I was leaving and I would appreciate it if the druggist would round up my meds and give me a call so I could come pick them up.
At any rate, this is the second medical facility in which the nurses acted like they were breaking the law by giving out prescribed pain meds. Also, since the nurse didn't want to stop and give me pain medication, she wouldn't give me any meds until she was finished with other patients. A man next door to me packed his stuff and checked himself out because he wasn't getting his medication on time. And, although I had a regular scheduled that I followed at home, it didn't matter. I learned the hard way to take a small supply of meds that I would need and hide them in my things. These include thyroid meds, Diabetes II medicine and testing kit, and blood pressure medication. So, I would have to wait until she got to me to use the testing kit and take the medicine. Of course, my food was always cold after the hour long wait for her to decide to bring me my medication. The actual root of these behaviors was the new attitude that everyone has adopted concerning pain medication. My doctor trusts me enough to make adult decisions about myself and pain medication. I am 65+ and a retired Special Education teacher. I understand that the war on drugs is important. Drugs are killing people. However, many geriatric patients are being abused by the medical field. Medications are being taken away across the board. The patient has to demonstrate an actual need for the medicine by having new tests. Of course insurance coverage for these additional tests are slim. I cannot believe that I retired and came home to avoid the pain of traveling with my students any time they needed to leave the classroom; to realize that the President had declared war on all older citizens who have chronic pain and need more that just aspirin or Tylenol to have any decent quality of life.
I am fortunate in that I had a few very good years at a "failing" school and I probably could have worked around the clock if I had requested it. Any time outside of our normal schedule spent instructing students earned me time and 1/2! I saved my extra pay. My husband had died in 1999 and I had no saved money at that time. I was fortunate enough to find enough families who didn't mind me coming in and cleaning their homes around 5pm. It helped me make the house payments. So, I saved all of the extra. It's almost gone now, but it was nice to be able to ask for needed procedures without having to see if my deductible was met. I am fearing the onset of Medicare. And, I fear the chance that this country will make pain medications illegal. No one that has chronic pain is supporting these measures. I wouldn't sell my meds no matter what. I keep the months supply at my bank and only get what I need every week because I I experienced theft of my purse in a grocery store. I had just picked up all refills I needed. The person who took my purse must have been watching me. I will quit now. I have a lot to say.
Re: Loz (# 8)
Sorry would strongly disagree. Addiction is the choice disease is not. Anyone one of of us that have a disease would say lets just try this sickness out for awhile. We have know or seen others with different sicknesses that we would not want to have. Addicts have seen and know what will happen if they use but choose to try anyways. I have family members that are addicts. Have again choose to use even after yrs of help. So you may want to research before you come down on someone that has a sickness and did not choose to have it.
Re: Ramrod (# 50)
I feel bad for you Ramrod. Just the gout alone in enough to bring a brave man to tears and I am speaking of my father. He was a tough man that never complained and went about his day no matter the pain. Until he got gout that is, I saw tears in his eyes just if a sheet brushed his big toe!! Have you tried alopurinol? Not spelled right I'm sure but it helped my dad and others. Also, Dr's never told him not to eat organ meats like heart, liver, gizzards. They are killers on gout. Now on the back pain. There is a new device called a stimulator that is implanted into your back and it has a control box that allows you to block the pain. It is a simple out patient surgery and they actually do a trial run to make sure it is something you sincerely want. A pain specialist does the surgery. I am getting ready to have it at age 65. I have several herniated discs and bulging discs plus siatica. Check this out and good luck dear with your medical problems
