Pharmacies In India

I am planning on going to India next month,and I want to find 10mg percocets. Problem is, Of course I do not want to get ripped off. Does anyone know what imprint is on them, what companies in India make the 10mg,and what color etc. Also are they as potent as the ones in the US? Any Info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!! ## Hi Olivia, This is definitely a tough call, being that many individuals in the U.S. who order pills through India pharmacies end up getting ripped off with fake pills or some that aren't nearly as effective as others they've tried. I'm only basing this off of the increasingly large number of posts I see on here with people complaining about this. Traveling to India in person may prove to be a completely different experience in terms of getting the ri...

I am looking for the amneal mfg brand of Norco in Indiana ## The Qualitest Norco yellow kind are by far better than the white Watson brand ## In my opinion, the best way to ensure that you get what works is to have your prescribing doctor specify the name of the manufacturer you want on the prescription itself. From what I understand, this is generally enough to make the pharmacy order whatever it is you need even if they don't have it in stock at that moment. This tactic also ensures that no matter which pharmacy you go to, you should be able to get the appropriate medication. It might even help to have your doctor write down a reason why you need to avoid certain manufacturers' products (i.e. due to various binders/fillers you're allergic or hypersensitive to, etc..). Has ...

I have prescription for 180 oxycodone 30mg and 60 oxycontin 80mg. I am staying in Indiana and my Florida dr had wrote my scrips and I need a place to fill in indiana. Does anyone know were? Thanks. ## I am not personally familiar with Indiana, I just spent a year there in college. I think the main issue you are going to have is with getting an out of state prescription filled. Have you tried calling around to pharmacies to see if they can fill it and carry these? You also might get a better response if you provided an idea of your general location, since Indiana is a state and you could be anywhere within its borders. ## I'm not familiar with Indiana but generally you need a prescription and I'd to match in the same state. Florida clinics usually dispense onsite as well. What pl...

I've tried many Walgreens and their all out of Vicodin 7.5-750 are we experiencing a shortage? ## No, there isn't a general shortage, per se, but there are other factors that may be at play. The first is that there are limits on how much any pharmacy can order in and have in stock each month. Until recently, pharmacies weren't following such guidelines, but the DEA has started cracking down this year to make them abide by the regulations. And the second issue is that the FDA has requested that the Acetaminophen in all of these combination medications be lowered to a maximum of 325mgs per dose, due to the risk of toxicity that can be associated with overdose and the liver/damage or failure that can be caused from long-term use of high amounts. Some manufacturers have already ...

I placed 2 orders at diff times and both were supposed to be for Percocet. They both were from India. One of them came in a little bag with no packaging. The more recent one came in an actual bubble pack that had a manufacturer on it but no markings on the pills. I'm guessing I've been had. But has anyone else had this problem? ## I also ordered percocet from i dia and it arrived in a bubble pack, no marking on the pills, they leave powder on my hands as they seem to have been shaved down or something. They are oblong white pills with a barely noticable part theu the middle. Sigh* ## I hate to see these web based pharmacies taking advantage of so many people who may truly need this medication. However, at some point I think you have to decide if gambling your money on illegal an...

Just came across this same situation! Oxycodone Hydrochloride 80mg long yellow tablets with no markings at all. It looks fake but even is in the packaging that says rhodes pharmacy from somewhere in North Carolina. Honestly, it would be very simple for someone in India to pass off fake pills and packaging. It could be just plain sugar pills and due to the placebo effect it may even cure pain for someone who believes it is what it says it is. Another person, however, not believing it has no effect at all. Such is the game of illegal pill importation. You never know what you're gonna get. Kinda like a box of chocolates... ## Well said! In my opinion the best way for patients to guard themselves is to make sure that they only fill prescriptions at licensed pharmacies and not through ot...

my primary moved to the west coast of florida and my pharmacy will not fill it because he is in another county. they say it is up to the pharmacist wheter they will fill it or not! i have been a customer of theirs for over 4 years and this is how i am treated. they will his other scripts but not these unless they are from indian river county. if anyone knows of a doctor who accepts medi pass and will write this script please let me know!!! ## so what happened to the advertisments of the pharmacies that say, we will fill your rx no matter where you are. my parents used to be snow birds, in a better economy, and they had wallgreen's that filled my mothers multiple rx's from pa in fl. so not filling your rx because the dr is in a different county I find discriminating. where I live...

i have brought some thyroxine off the internet, they came from india, and they are like a funny shape and they have 25 printed on them, they are pure white.. how do i know if these are genuine pills? and do they make you lose weight? ## From a foreign source and with just that vague imprint, there is really no way to know for sure what you received. It could be anything. This is one of the hazards of ordering from foreign pharmacies that are not regulated by the U.S. FDA. In addition, Thyroxine is not considered safe to be used as a weight loss drug, it is actually only approved and intended to treat Thyroid conditions and since those levels have to be carefully monitored, the blood levels of your Thyroid hormones have to be checked on a regular basis. Have you tried speaking to your do...

gsr 150 mg gsr ## i took this when in india; the lower dosage was a small orange pill in a foil packet for sale in most all the little 'pharmacies' there, for 5rps a packet. and it was an excellent support for my foray into all the digestive woes that dining inappropriately in india seems to offer; i recovered so quickly, and the diarrhea, weakness and other challenges vanished in hours. best of fortune if you are traveling in india and need help!

I've been on percocet 10-325 for about a yr for my back. It was working pretty good until the pharmacies started using this Mfg. out of India. What is happening? These don't take care of the pain and I get nothing but gas and diarrhea. What are they putting in our drugs now? Guess I'll have to go to the FDA. Something has to be done. I hear nothing but bad things. Help. ## Just noticed my new prescription from KP had this new lab on the bottle (AUROBINDO). After only 3 days I feel worse of my back issues, but on top, I have new issues like headaches, stomach and esophagus pain, gas, feel like crap! My family thought I was drunk crazy! Called my PM doc and he was like, that's odd. I was like,WTF! Finally called the pharmacist and he was oddly nice and confessed some peopl...

small round scored bright pink pill ## PINK PILL 9mm diameter scored for cutting in half, no other markings. Srong smell of and similar looking to confectioary sold as smokers lollies in the past. Bought on internet from canada as soft cialis, but arrived from india, loose and between two pieces of cardboard. ## I'm sorry, without any markings, it is impossible to positively identify it. That is one of the hazards of ordering from foreign pharmacies that are not approved in the US, you can't be sure what you are getting and they are not regulated like medications manufactured under FDA standards. Does anyone else have information about this?

I have a prescription of Famotidine dated 02/06/06. I wonder if they are still usable? ## Not in the US. Most prescriptions are generally only good for up to a year, but most pharmacies will not take them past a few months. ## If the medicine has crossed the expiry date,pl. throw it. In India, the expiry date for Femotidine is three years from the date of manufacture.

Did Mallinckrodt stop making their methadone,all the pharmacies in Bloomington,Indiana switched to a different company.I have taken the Mallinckrodt brand since they stopped providing the 40mg.methadone wafers to patients.Please help. ## no we have then here in NC...methadose(mallinckrodt),the orange 40's(mallinckrodt) and the liquid(mallinckrodt),along with the 5's and 10's ## I haven't found any information on their discontinuing it. That isn't necessarily the reason that any pharmacy switches the one they carry, that is actually due to price, they will usually order from whichever company is offering the cheapest price, at the time they need to restock. Have you tried asking any of them if they can order it in for you? ## I am having the same exact problem. I live...

I cannot find Viagra in Pakistan. Let me know if there is any store in Pakistan where I can get this medicine or an alternative ## My location is Islamabad Pakistan. I want to know if Viagra is banned in Pakistan. If not, where can I find it? ## Are you serious? Can't you just cross the border into India, aka the prescription drugs manufacturing capital (and also home of all web-based pharmacies) of the world? ## It is not easy to cross the borders to India from Pakistan. Both the countries are on cold war since their birth. They have also fought two wars. However some such medicines get smuggled into Pakistan. I have tried one of them but it does not work. I have also tried Viagra by Pfizer. I tried half of 50 g and it worked but the other half did not work. Again I tried half of P...

I recently came from India. I am taking the drug tablet "Gabantin 300mg" from last 2 years and now I was moved to USA. And I am searching for this tablet here. Also I have checked in one of the pharmacies, seems it's not available. And also they need a USA Doctor's prescription and not an India one. Someone guide me on how to obtain this tablet. ## Hello, John! How are you? Yes, to obtain this medication in the U.S., you'll need to see a U.S. doctor and get a prescription. There is no other way to get it here. The FDA classifies Gabapentin as an anticonvulsant that is also used to treat certain types of nerve pain. Its typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight gain. Is there anything else I can help with?

I was told that these yellow round pills are 40 mg oxycontin (oxycodone), where are they from, I know they are not from the U.S, if there real, but does any one know what they could be? or anything about these yellow round pill? ## @momtg, Without an imprint to signify what it is, who makes it, or how much of whatever it is it contains, determining anything at all is merely speculation. However many pain patients who are unable to receive appropriate care in the US often resort to finding their medication(s) off the internet. And I do know that the country of India is a big player in this game of web-based pharmacies, importing both counterfeits and real meds alike. So depending on how you came across this pill, that possibility might be something to take into account upon determining i...

Round white pill no imprint? HAB pharmaceutical licence #48/ua 2006 ## Looks like a cheap generic of Soma (Carisoprodol), possibly produced semi-legally in response to rising demand on account of an increasing number from international orders to Indian pharmacies. Doesn't seem to be effective much. ## Pain-O-Soma is a very minimal substitute for Watson brand Soma at best. Even though it is plainly marked Carisprodol 350mg tablets they are placeboes in comparison. My advice is find a nice family dr that will prescribe it from a US pharmacy. There have recently been several states added as no ship states for Soma only in many cases. ## And if there are no markings on the tablets, there is no way to establish whether or not the medication you received actually contains Carisoprodol or ...

I have been taking norco 10/325 and the pills say watson 853 for some reason the last ones I got where a smaller version and looked shiny compared to my older ones that were a little bigger and more dull looking with a chalky film left in the bottle these new ones that are shiny don't have that chalky film to them and the imprint looks a little different as well. It is not something u would really notice without really looking at them or having one to compare it to. Would these be some kind of fake pill or geneic version. Just curious? ## Hello, Just out of curiosity, did you order these off the internet from one of those overseas pharmacies in India? If you had got them from a legitimate retail pharmacy here in the US I don't see why you'd even have anything to be concerned...

My wife is having hypothyroid symptoms again. I checked the brand and it is Lupin, which is an Indian brand. I have not had good luck with Indian brands for other things myself. I did find a review by someone saying they got switched to Lupin and their Hypothyroid symptoms came back. But 1 review does not make a case. It will be very helpful to people to get feedback on what brands people have had good or bad experiences with and what they went from and to. And what the symptoms were or what went away. So they can be aware when pharmacies switch brands and what to look for when searching for a better brand. ## In a lot of ways levothyroxine seems to be a special case with brands because it's not some sort of "brand x doesn't work" scenario, but rather it's that the d...

i live in indiana and am and can't fill it - every pharmacy i call is out of stock. i have called walgreens, CVS, wal-mart, meier, and grocer pharmacies - no on has morphine ER 30 mg. there are several other recent posts stating the same problem. something is most definitely going on, just don't know what. i NEED this medication NOW. ## Hello, Texiana! How are you? The problem here is caused by you calling the pharmacies. Since they have no way of knowing if the person on the phone is a legitimate customer with a need, or a potential thief, they will just tell you that they don't carry it or have it in stock. Morphine is a controlled substance and pharmacies have been robbed over it. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side...
