There's been a lot of talk here for quite some time about certain manufacturers versions of opioid pain relievers not working the same as others. This is concerning, as we do not know what the ingredients of these medications are outside of their main ingredient. We also do not know how those filler ingredients interact and metabolize with the main ingredient, nor do we know if the amount of the main ingredient is even correct. I have been taking 20mg oxycodone sparingly for many years. I get like five a month right now, which sucks ass, but I take what I can get. I have tried multiple generics of oxycodone because I've lived in a bunch of different states in the US. One manufacturer in particular seems to just not make pills great at all, and do not perform their job like other manufacturers do at the exact same dose. I previously posted about Propublica's database of pharmaceutical fuckery (it's pinned to the top of the subreddit) and the manufacturer of my oxycodone has been in trouble with the FDA a BUNCH OF TIMES. So what can I do? I reported my meds to the FDA! I told them exactly what I just typed up in this post. The medication is not effective, it has side effects that don't exist with other manufacturers, and I am concerned about the safety and dosage of these pills. The manufacturer in question is Rhodes. You can get ALL of the information needed off of your prescription bottles. I encourage you to file a complaint with the FDA and BE NICE because they are in a bad way right now. They are public servants in a very weird job situation at the moment.
