Dr. prescribed Percocet, Pharm gave me generic Oxycod/apap 5-325. They do not work, I think drug store might have gave me wrong pills. They are large, round,one side says 512 the other side is scored. Have I got the right med?

i have a pill that is thought to be a percocet. I would like to verify this before taking. The pill is small, the same size as a 10mg valium. It is yellow with 445 on one side, on the other it is scored and says eth. Please let me know what kind of pill this is. Thank-you.

ETH445 is not Percocet, it does not contain Acetaminophen, this pill only contains 15mgs of Oxycodone, it is a generic for Roxicodone.
Some of the most common side effects include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

RE: Little round pill and precocet. If you will search and look up the main ingredient in percocet. It is OXYCODONE. Your Dr. may have been worried about your intake of acteminiphene. If you have any kind of liver disease then the Roxicets would be the preferred med.

the brand percocet are yellow in color and say percocet right across them. think they are made by watson. alot of people think there is a difference in strength of generic percs ..depending on who makes them like watson, Mallinkrodt and Endo pharmaceutical ..to name some all have the same active ingredient oxycodone and the FAA require the same amout of active ingredient ...but they only have to follow a range of filler
in a generic ..think some were in the range of 85%.
alot of people believe the endos are a bit stronger and last longer...but the watson brand are a noticeable difference than the generic (alot of times the brand is better than a generic) but in the case of percocet the price difference between brand vrs generic is so out of
whack!!

For ur 411 Says:
Brand name percocet was FIRST made by Purdue Pharma !!!! watson is a generic drug manufacturer !
Perdu Pharma once < a long time ago however the license ran out - therefore opening it up to a hist of generics!
Only BRAND name Percocet can use the actual name on the pill!!! They have been around for decades althpugh not sll strengths have been !
Perdu Makes/Made the following: 2.5 mg oxycodone ( called Demi Percs) these where half strength of the most commonly prescribed 5mg/325 of Tylenol. After that they followed by the BLUE 5mg > then came the 7.5mg in 2 different Tylenol strengths - the 7.5/325 and 7.5/500 followed by the Yellow ones in 2 strengths of Tylenol- the 10/325 and 10/650
As soon as generics where able to b produced - the FDA states they myst be equivalent in action - however the companies CAN and DO use different "fillers" which most ots can pick up on and say if it works better or worse then the original brand ! Starting in 2024 the FDA is making ALL manufacturers to cut back to a maximum of 325 mg of acetaminophen and all of their combo narcotic pills!!!! So u will c those larger 500- and 65o mg gone - but who wants to take all that Tylenol anyways because that is not what it actually works with in those combo analgesics.
Lastly - when it comes down to it - getting pharmacies to order Brian name Purdue Pharma Deigs is slim to none now ! The cost is just yo much! HOWEVER Purdu Pharma has it's own generic division called ENDO - like u will c walgreens carry Endo-cet! These are the closest thing you will get to the old brand 4 the most part - and is with searching around - or if u have a good relationship with ur pharmacy (usually mom and pop places since CVS - ect deals with bulk and buys whatever deal they can get !
All these "so called percocet " comes down to having a certain amount of oxycodone in it vs the perscribed acetaminophen. And thoise that say - thry are all the ssne they are wrong ! I dont care what the FDA says - the particular brand nane has the best fillers in it - the most sctive drig ext - how do u think these generic companys can cut costs ? By usibg cheaper fillers ! Msllincrot (1 of the largest) and watson 2nd largest is known to be @cheap generics in The industry. Try to see who carrys endo in the MG strength u are perscribed and ur insurance company counts them ss generics but they are made by parent company purdu pharma from the same plant mostly ! They have E-7.50/ext (same color as orgibal old brand ) E-10/325 or E-10/650 ect U will be so much more happier not getting cheap watson 512 (5mg) or some of the newer pharmas ( Teva- Glenmark- IP)
If anything - try to get ur MD to give u iR - it has no Tylenol to worry about and it comes in tablet or even a liquid form- i like the liquid - they make in 30cc bottles at a concentration of 5ml= 100 mg or the same 1ml= 20mg or they make a weaker one which i dont like

The difference between ANY generic and brand name drug, besides fillers & binders is that the brand name has the total amount of the active ingredient....for instance 10mg oxycodone/Percocet. A generic can, legally, use up to 25% less of the active ingredient. The ONLY thing the same is the active ingredient itself but if you get 10mg Percocet you are more than likely only getting 7-8 MG of oxycodone. The up to 25% can go either way....up or down! but who do you know would put 25% MORE active ingredient in their meds? I don't think this should be right.... in fact, I think it is downright criminal, but it is legal! I am not making this up.....research it. Not only that, but some generics work and some do not work at all!
