oxycodone
I live in WA state and have been prescribed Oxycodone by my Dr twice. Each time I went to get the prescriptions filled I was told that they were out of it and it was on back order due to some problem with the manufacturer. I went to 3 different pharmacies and got the same story. Is there something I should know here? Also both prescriptions were subsituted with Hydrocodone which contain acetaminophen. Due to my condition I am not supposed to take anything containing acetaminophen. Is there a viable subsitute that I can take?
Hon, you are in the wrong community. This community is for substance abuse/addiction . Medhelp has a pain forum that will answer that question. Good luck
YES! There is a nation wide shortage of oxys. My doctor was substituting with percocets, Till I was finaly switch to the patch. Percocets is oxys with apap. The shortage is suppose to be over maybe this month.
A news article here said someting about the DEA only allows so much to be manufactured. And they came in late with thier estimates, Now production is behind. Anyways, thats what I had read.
Im surprised your Dr didnt know this already when they first wrote the initial script.
