What Does Immediate Release Mean

Is there a differences between the oxycodone 30 mg with 244 on them, vs any other? I thought they were all the same? ## Hello, Kay! How are you? Do you mean the one with the 224 marking? It is a regular release formulation. There are actually 3 different formulations of Oxycodone available, the regular release, an instant release and the time released that's called Oxycontin. This is 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. Otherwise, they are all the same, they contain Oxycodone as the active ingredient. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Yes i live in modesto ca and I've hurt my back so many times I'm in daily pain and cant hardly walk some days. ...

I have been on Hydrocodone since 2002. Along the way a fentyl patch was added to help with being ill in between doses. Currently on 25 fentyl and 50 mg Hydrocodone per day. Dr told me at last visit that there office was no longer going to prescribe immediate release meds like Hydrocodone. Cut me down to 30 hydro per day but no other adjustments. Planning to go down to one at next visit. Not sure what to do when even pain mgmt doc stops ordering. They actually said with a straight face that these meds were never meant to be taken day after day, month after month, etc. shouldn't they have told me that back in 2002? Is there any doc in Indy area that will just leave me where I was? ## Some pain drs don't prescribe immediate release meds along with extended release meds. Immedicate ...

What does the "IR" stand for located behind the word Oxycodone and in front of the dosage amount, i.e., 5 mg. When I look up he generic Oxycodone I see that it has acetiminiphine and/or NASIDS-Ibuprophine. I believe the manufacture is Palladone. Is there an Oxycodone made that has nothing in it except Oxycodone. Thanks??? ## The IR stands for immediate release, which means it's meant to release the medication, as soon as you swallow the tablet. While there are some formulations that contain Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen, this one doesn't. This one only contains Oxycodone. There are actually 3 formulations available that only contain Acetaminophen, the OxyIR and its generics, which you've already mentioned that are instant release. There is a time released formulation ca...

I take verapamil 120mg er and refilled the medication. The refill came through as verapamil 120mg her. Is this the same medication? ## Hi Michael, ER stands for extended release. Extended release basically means that the drug dissolves over time in order to be released into the bloodstream at a slower and steadier rate. This allows the medication to be taken less frequently than an immediate release medication (IR). I'm not sure about the abbreviation HER, maybe you can check with you pharmacy regarding that? You can learn more about this drug on the page for Verapamil Details I hope this helps!

what does IMM REL stand for after Morphine Sulfate ## IMM REL stands for Immediate Release ## That is correct, it means the medication starts to be released in your body immediately, as soon as you swallow it. There are 3 formulations of Morphine available, the immediately release, the regular release that usually takes 15 to 20 minutes to start working and a time released that is slowly released over a 12 hour period. Are there any other comments or questions? ## And the bio availability in the immediate release is horrible. Meaning you may only get maybe 5% of the pill. That's way some people plug them, it's like 90% bio availability meaning you will get most of the medication. Just a F.Y.I. ## What exactly do you mean by "plug them" I've been on the 15's Imedi...

I got a new pill today from my pharmacy but it's got a new imprint on it. It's supposed to be a 30 mg R oxycodone but it has like a 8 with a line and weird shape half moon thing with a line. Has anyone seen these or know about if there the same as the m. 30? ## Hi Melissa, What does the "R" stand for in "30 mg R oxycodone"? Did you mean "IR" (immediate release)? I've yet to come across a pill with the imprint you described, but I do know that Actavis Pharmaceuticals produces pills with a half moon (or crescent moon) logo.

I am on roxicodone 30 mg two three times a day and I pans 40 twice a day. I was wondering what other immediate release would be equivelant to what I'm already on. The DEA is making doctors in my state only perscribe 4 immediate release per day so I was trying to figure out if there was another drug equal to what I'm on yet only 4 times a day? Can anyone help please?? ## Hello, Nikki! How are you? Roxicodone is not immediate release, it's a regular release formulation. What other medication were you asking about? It seems autocorrect got the best of you. Did you mean Opana?

Do the compounded oxys work just as good as tabs? ## Do compounded oxys work as good as.oxys tabs ## What compound are you asking about? Most Oxycodone medications are available in tablet form, there are only a few available in capsules, such as the immediate release Oxycodone. Or did you mean something your doctor specially ordered to be done by a compounding pharmacy? Oxycodone is a narcotic and will work as such, regardless of what form it is in, however, it is sometimes coupled with Acetaminophen, to enhance its effects, in preparations such as Percocet.

Are the RP 15 oxycodones immediate release or extended release? ## Hello, Leroy! How are you? They are neither, they are actually regular release, which means it will take about 15 to 20 minutes for them to start working. 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. Is there anything else I can help with?

I used to get oxycodone 5mg in a green and white capsule. It worked within 1/2 hour and the effects lasted for hours and were very pleasant. One day, when I needed a refill, Walmart was closed, so I went to Walgreens. The pill is different (a round, orange tablet) and had the suffix IMM REL in the title. Not only does the pill not have the same pleasant effect (it makes me nauseous and dizzy) but it takes almost two hours to work. What does IMM REL mean, and does this have anything to do with its effects? ## IMM REL stands for Immediate Release, meaning the medication is released very soon after you take it, as opposed to a regular tablet which can take over 20 minutes. So, technically, this tablet should work fast. I am concerned, however, with the fact that you are enjoying the so-cal...
