WTF? Oxy generic is real? And says OP on them?
So now GENERIC OxyContin exists, called "Oxycodone ER", and it is identical to brand name in appearance. Generics now have OP imprinted on them, and same color, same size, same everything. You can't tell the difference unless you have the medication bottle label in front of you to say "made by...."
Otherwise a 40mg OP tablet is the EXACT same as a 40mg generic tablet that will say 40mg OP on the generic too, they are impossible to tell the difference on..
The pills say "OP" on one side and then "40mg" on other. It is made by Activas according to the bottle and reads:
"oxycodone ER, GENERIC for Oxycotin" Activas PHARMA.
So wtf? I've talked to pharmacists and they say generic doesnt exist, a couple months ago. But then today I'm told yes they exist for a fact, and I had them prescribed and they already seem "off" and weaker -- and this was BEFORE I knew they where a generic as I just saw the OP and the mg on them and thought they where fine. Then I happened to look at the bottle and saw it said generic! Not a good sign. Is oxycodone ER a "different med" to the FDA ?
I also read online the FDA has not approved any generic forms of oxycotin, and I read a news article from 2013 saying FDA rejected generic Oxycontin. So wtf? There is hardly and information out there, and most of if is old and conflicting.
One Google search that actually helps reads "Who has taken the new 2015 Brand Oxycontin do they work?" It Has quite a few replies to it, and most are all negative towards the generic...
Did this change in 2016?? Let me guess know its even crappier than before. First OC to OP, now its generic and the generic cost nearly the same as Brand? I cannot sven imagine how low quality they must be.
If generics continue to look the exact same as brand name they will get mixed up with brand name, even if on accident, as there are thousands of pharmacies, along with thousands of employees who handle them, along with their thousands of employee
suppliers who handle them/etc/etc..
How/when/why did this happen?
