Watson Vs Others

Good day:) about the Watson percocet, I had the same problem with watson meds!! I realize that when I drink Watson percocets they don't do the same effects in my body... foe example Watson percs dont take my pain away 100 % but when I get my prescription from another pharmacy that carries percocet 10 3-25 I can't remember the other brand but they work perfectly! !! I question couple pharmacist and they say is the same thing...but am sorry! I've been drinking percocet 10 325 foe almost 3 years and I can tell you that they arw not the same... somthing is not right.

Hi Pedro,

From what others have mentioned throughout different forums, complaints seem to be a common trend with Actavis / Watson's Percocet tablets.

Upon my own investigation, I determined that it could be due to certain inactive ingredients that may or may not be present in other brands/generics. Apparently some binders/fillers can inhibit bioavailability, so theoretically it's possible that your system just isn't able to absorb whatever it is that's binding all these ingredients together. Now I don't know if this is exactly what's happening for everyone who takes these pills and saying they aren't working, but based on my research it does make sense.

Have you tried asking your doctor about any alternative treatment options?

I also have been getting Actavis percocets and they don't work like the Watsons did or whatever the round ones were from the good days! I feel cheated by this really! I don't feel it's right to cut corners where pain is concerned! And name brand is thousands a script!? At least they could help us w the stuff they used to make! I've complained to pharmacies too but what I want to know is what brand is good and what pharmacy has it? It's percocet 10/325..TY!!
