User Reviews for oxycodone oral

Disabled nurse of 43 years with Chronic Severe back pain with sciatica. GOD BLESS my DR for allowing me to continue on daily low dose of oxycodone. I have had 5 back surgeries 3 emergency due to broken hardware that fractured spine after falls. I have huge pain tolerance as I walked off recovery table right into my room and the pain was a 1 postop. Walked around in severe pain b4 surgery (I didn’t want to complain) with fx spine severe enough direct admit (during Covid) only emergency surgeries. I’ve done it all pain center, injections, therapy all of it. With no to minimal effect. Without oxycodone I am bedridden. Unfortunately I know I am walking around with fx spine and hardware broken again due to a fall 11 months ago so prob time to repair it again. Only great neurosurgeon I would let touch me moved 1600 miles away but I will travel to get repaired again. Never any complications . Oxycodone is a life saver for me with no side effects. This brand actually works for me despite not always available. The other brands are useless and make me nauseated give me headaches and do absolutely nothing for pain. QUALITY ??. Unfortunately pharmacy board in our state puts fear of GOD into Drs that prescribe any scheduled drug. Flagged constantly and threatened by board about excessive RX given despite tx elderly and hospice patients. Take my pain from a 10/9 to a 6-7 but at least I can walk with my walker 10 feet to bathroom. PEOPLE that don’t understand chronic pain DON’T JUDGE WE ARE JUDGED ENOUGH. For anybody who had ever had a total knee replacement I used Percocet for only 3 days. So yes I have high pain tolerance. Read More Read Less

I have serious back pain that a surgery that took two months to semi-recover from. I have been prescribed 10/325 Percocet for several years. All other Percocet manufactures makes me severely nauseous for some reason except for Alvogen's. My pharmacy won't be able to get that brand until late September. My only option was Rhodes. I was devastated, so the pharmacy gave me the Rhodes. They don't make me sick, but they are absolutely inferior as far as controlling my pain like the Alvogen brand does. I don't get it and I'm having a hell of a time until my pharmacy gets their stock replenished.Read More Read Less

Not too bad after several others I’ve tried gave me side effects badly.

Oxycodone by Rhodes is completely ineffective. Out of a bottle of 30 pills, there might be 5 that actually contain oxycodone. So upsetting and unfair that those of us w chronic severe pain cannot get relief. Are there no quality controls in place ? A few years ago, I was able to get so much relief and thereby live a reasonably active life. Now I merely exist and am unable to do much of anything due to the constant pain.

Rhodes/Purdue should be investigated for the horrible product that they are selling. I am on Oxycodone 7.5 mg-Acetaminophen 325 and it does nothing to help my pain. The refill that I got in late July has made my very itchy all over, even my eyes I am extremely nauseous, no appetite and feel like I have the flu. I have reported Rhodes/Purdue to the FDA, my senators, and several other agencies. If you don’t report them, they will not stop selling these horrible medicines.

It appears that Rhodes has been decreasing the amount of pain reliever that is put in the pill. I get a 7.5/325. My guess is that there is not more than 2.5/325 in there. A person in my pain support group got her drug test done and it showed zero in her blood even with taking a pill a couple hours before her visit!!

Was switched from hydrocodone10 mg to Oxycodone 10mg cause of ineffectiveness of the mallinckrodt Hydrocodone, but went from bad to worse the Rhodes Oxycodone are garbage not as effective as extra strength Tylenol, am confused how they can call this a pain reliever not worth money I paid for prescription I feel ripped off not to mention the pain and discomfort I’m in am in total disbelief that they can get away with ripping people off !

I have had three knee replacements, major back surgery with a cage put in my back hip replacement severe osteoarthritis and this medicine did not help me one bit. I’ve taken other brands that have worked wonderfully, but this brand manufacture. I don’t think it’s real oxycodone cause it didn’t work. I couldn’t even tell I had taken one.

I always took oxycodone 5/325mg 4 times daily. It’s used to manage my pain quite well. I have 3 collapse vertebrae, L3-L5 Initially I took Watson which were 10*. But then they were changed to several manufacturers. Mallinckrodt 5mg were the best but I started having stomach cramps, reflux, and anxiety symptoms which would last about 20 minutues. This year my doctor increased the dosage to 3 x 10mg but the tablets are worthless. They are from Mallinckrodt and it’s like taking aspirin. I’ve been in pain for the last 4months. I’m going to see him on Monday to see if we can switch to another analgesic. I tried 4 x 10mg and nothing helped. So sad, and frustrated. They used to work well and I could live with my pain. I’m scheduled to see a neuro-surgeon later in the month to see what can be done with my spine.Read More Read Less

Oxycodone from RHODES Mfg don't work completely

So I have been a chronic pain patient for over 20 years off and on. Usually I get a back surgery etc and eventually wean off. This time is from cancer so weaning off is less likely. Instead my tolerance is going up and up. Yet normally my Grey 20mg IR Oxy works wonders. When I was released from the hospital this time though, they gave me these really fat white ones by Rhodes....as of my stay in the hospital they were OK but I also had 50mcg iv fentanyl in me every 3hrs as needed. Now I'm home and there's relief but not as well as my Grey ones...I keep reading about the Rhodes manufacturers being junk. Now I'm scared because I have an entire month of this and no iv fentanyl to rescue me. I was placed on the patches as well for longterm but it takes a little to build in your system for full peak effects.. I hope it will cover the lack of effectiveness from the RP 20s until I can go to my regular pharmacy vs the hospital pharmacy. FYI they only use the RP version at the hospital I go to. I wonder if they had complaints about it.Read More Read Less

This white fat pill from Rhodes Pharmaceutical is horrible.it’s garbage. Doesn't work for pain and I'm tired all the time with a banging headache. If it has RP on it you're outta luck. I wondered why it was much cheaper??

I’ve been taking 10 mg Oxycodone immediate release tabs for over 10 years. It has always been my experience that 45 minutes after taking it my pain would dissipate and I would be able, then, to fall asleep. The pills were always pink. This prescription I received white pills. They do nothing. I sat up for two hours waiting for relief. Nothing. I’ve been taking these for a week. Nothing. I will have to change pharmacies next prescription. 3 months in pain. Woohoo.

I wasn’t checking the manufacture of my oxycodone 10 mg until I realized it was not working. My pain was still there. I found one of my previous prescriptions and was from Mellinkorpf (or whatever) The ones I’m getting out is from Rhodes and it does absolutely nothing to relieve my pain. The medical and pharma are still messing with us! Rhodes is the worst! I just renewed my RX & I will find a different pharmacy or see if my pain physician will change medication. I can’t believe this is happening! Read More Read Less

Like a placebo. Does NOT manage my pain. Should be illegal to do this to chronic pain patients. Need more doses to manage pain compared to other manufacturers, resulting in early refills.

I have to take this because I has shoulder surgery. It’s make me nauseas vomiting, and terrible diarrhea running all days

Thank you, Web MD, for giving voices to souls in agony, under scrutiny and microscopes, as TONS of Fentanyl flow freely across the US border. These stories confirm the audacity of an ineffective publicity stunt, "The War on Drugs:" Government & FDA's desperate attempt to CYA, after collaborating & profiting with Purdue and multiple bad actors, to the tune of billion$, while collateral damage destroys millions of lives. Years in, we see obedient pain patients & Drs. robbed of function, careers, and LIVES, with no nationwide progress. How do these destructive decisions continue in a "civilized" society? The answer is unsettling. Corruption reigns, strangling truth, progress, and crushing the weak, from the pinnacles of our nation on down. My story is similar to most, except that Malenckrodt (& other brands) are as useless to me as writers claim Rhodes is. A Mom & Pops pharmacy claimed they had to pay $40 per RX for Rhodes 15 mg. Oxy, so could not continue serving me. Malenckrodt patches are 80% LESS effective (for me) than Mylan, but Walgreens claims they can't get my rx size from Mylan anymore. Thanks to the CVS-OXY lawsuit, 400 stores closed, (many in So-Cal). My Walgreens is inundated with miles of angry, hurting patients: think lines across the store, long phone waits, & up to 1 hr. in line. Two long-term pharmacists quit, & the new ones politely asked me for my DR. to send them 3-months of my PRIVATE progress notes or my next RX won't be filled. Since when do they get to practice medicine without a LICENSE? I'm in too much pain to think, let alone argue. If I were a dog, I'd be treated more humanely. But guess what? My doctor sees the writing on the wall. She just quit, too. (!!!!!!???) I've been couch-bound, unable to shower or go to church more than 2x a month, (sometimes in tears or stuck in the bathroom) thanks to Malenckrodt patches, & this month, their oxy as well. So apparently, SOME patient's bodies react differently. I have many food sensitivities, so on top of constant physical pain, eating is a landmine: 8 food diet lots, lots of beano-O and Benedryl. After eating, I feel like someone beat my back & head in, so that's nowv1x a day. The head pain never stops unless I sleep. History: I was PRESCRIBED opiates over 18 yrs, ago for severe spinal damage & pain due to accidents: A drunk totalled my car, a texter totalled hers by hitting me, + my youthful idiocy on a motorcycle. I barely scraped thru the FDA's homicidal 2016 '"guidelines" (which resulted in MANY patients, incl. vet's suicides). Our Kaiser pain group was full of limping patients, lying on the floor in tears, many OUT OF MEDS for 1 wk each month. Deeply scared drs parroted 180° changed dosing orders: "Stay ahead of the pain!" and accompanying literature, became: "Go home and live with it." Overnight. Rxs of 100 mcg/hr Fent patch, + 10x 15mg Oxy (per day) were cut in 1/3 in 1 visit, Soma cut from 350 mg. 3x/day to ZERO in 1 month. Agony rules, front & center. I barely make it from bed to bathroom, lost hair in clumps, became skeletal from pain. If I'd known what my life would be before I starting meds, I'd never have started. But Prozac worked, so I trusted my doctor! Now, over age 50 and still disabled, the writing is on the wall. I've seen miracles, I still believe, but I can no longer live in agony. I hope that on the "flip side" is, at the very least, cessation of PAIN. 10-4, soldiers.Read More Read Less

Terrible. Little to no pain relief. Rhodes should be sued for poisoning patients with their terrible formulations.

Out of the last 6 months I have received 2 months of my medication of 10mg.of oxycodone, my normal supply, the other 4 months was this nasty rhodes stuff..very medication that doesn't do anything to help..ibprophen is stronger..so sad..I know iam bed ridden for a month when I recieved it??

I take 15 mg oxycodone and have been getting KV tech pills for the last 3 months it's like taking a baby aspirin better yet just give me an ibuprofen
