drug interaction identifier

when I go to the drug interaction/pill identifier checker I cannot access the medication oxycodone.
its not on the drop down list and when I type it in at top of column it says 'no such drug'
I have tried under the name oxycodone and also oxycontin.
can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here?

Hi Opus,

Let me see if I can make it work. Sorry but I have not yet accessed the new feature. If I cannot find the solution I will contact someone who can help us.

I'll get back to you.

Check the Identifier for the brand names such as those listed below, but it seems that they have it together with the acetaminophen (Tylenol) in brand names such as

oxycodone and acetaminophen

GENERIC NAME: oxycodone and acetaminophen
BRAND NAMES: Percocet, Roxicet, Tylox, Endocet

You have to have the name of the medicine .. not just the oxy ingredient.  It works for meds such as Percocet but not Percodan .. You need to use a bit of name brand inputting.

I hope this is helpful. I apologize it took awhile to get the answer. Let me know if this now works for you.

thx for the reply
yes I seee this works for oxycodone/aspirin....but its my belief that is percocet and not oxycontin...and this I still cannot seem to pinpoint on the drop down menu, I can't imagine what other name it would be listed under?
