Shortage of oxycodone in florida
Common Questions and Answers about Shortage of oxycodone in florida
oxycontin
When I found out that the reason there was an oxycodone shortage and the reason why according to the Doctor's and Pharmacist and reports here is the out of state pain patients coming into buy them to sell I was fit to be tied. I mean think how many legit pain Pt's here in Florida now have none and have to try and find a new medication. I was lucky but not everyone will be.
Hi Audrea,
Here in Florida it is impossible to get any of the oxycodone 5mg, 15mg, or 30mg.
There are other forms of oxycodone but they of course contain tylenol.
I know that ethex the other company that was making the oxycodone IR is under FDA investigation and the FDA has stopped all manufacturing. the other company Malinkroft is so backed up they can't keep up. I certainly hope they can increase manufacturing so we can get the medications we need.
Last year all the pharmacies around here had a shortage on oxycodone. I found some that I called would not reveal whether they had it in stock or not and they needed to see the actual prescription. I did find one who was willing to order it every month and one who ordered it to be mailed to my house by the next day.
I hope you'll be able to find a pharmacy that can order it for you. I would think that there's plenty of time to order it if you don't need it until April 2nd.
One way it may affect me, though, is that there will be more people using pharmacies for oxycodone, yet no lift on the controlled amount of oxycodone that the pharmacies recieve. I am going to call the Walgreens and find out if they'll be able to fill the prescription, if they'll even tell me as I would prefer to keep the medication the same for the next couple of months until the baby is born.
However, I am not set on the oxycodone.
The shortage has really been a blessing to me. I hope others find this to be true too.
The oxycodone 30mg here in Florida is so popular. Alot of the ones that come in from out of state people who come to the "pill mills" and this is why there is a shortage. My Doctor made the comment that Florida is like McDonald's 10 billion sold, referring to oxycodone.
The DEA shut down a couple clinics in Jacksonville on Thursday and I can only hope they will get to the many, many others.
I have tried ginger too with no luck. The test may help find what is going on. I do know there is another shortage of oxycodone 30mg going on again. I normally pay 90 cents a piece and this month they were 2.50 a piece! This due to the government's not wanting the companies to manufacture as much according to the owner of the pharmacy! It is just ridiculous!
I am paying this much for meds that I can't keep down.
I don't know about the pharmacies where you are, but here in Arizona we have some pharmacies that DON'T even carry controlled substances like Fentanyl and Oxycodone.
Therefore, I would think that they would have noticed an error like that immediately. I can't believe that someone could make this type of error on Oxy's. Actually I can't believe that they would make it on ANY type of UNCONTROLLED medication either. They even looked at the label when they had me sign for them.
The amount of oxycodone you state that you take per day is mindboggeling! And I've been around here for a long time. And you are still able to run a large corporation? I was trying to figure out mentally how much you use per day and it seems to be the equivalent of about 100 perks! Can this be possible? If so, you need to be in the hospital now. I once had a friend that was up to 3 grams of heroine per day but he passed away years ago.
J.B.
the germans invented
oxycodone during WW2. it is synthesized from thebain, a alkyloyd
present in raw opium. intresting thing about thebain is it re-
embles strychine. it's also a cns stimulant in it's raw form.
when the germans first issued it out in 20mg. vial for iv inject-
ion. supposedly the stuff would hit you like a speed ball, but
the pharm industry fixxed that little affect. i've noticed i get
really up and around after a good blast of oxy-no nods for me.
The drugs themselves are not actually addictive but they do leach all the zinc/mag out of your body by increasing the metabolism of them creating a shortage that gets worse the longer you use unless you replace them while you are using in which case you don't hang out when you stop - you just come straight - this is true beleive me I have tried it as have a few other people I know and none of us sufferred any hang out when we stopped.
