981443 tn?1250115802 As a result, patients rotated on to extended release oxymorphone preparations from other opioids may very well need the Opana IR tablets, Numorphan ampoules or phials with hypodermic needles and/or a PCA pump, or immediate-release formulations of hydromorphone, dihydromorphine, high dose oxycodone, hydromorphinol, nicomorphine, diamorphine, or morphine for breakthrough pain incidents which are already in progress.
Avatar m tn 1mg of oxymorphone is equal to about 2mg of oxycodone 1mg of oxycodone is equal to about .5 mg of oxymorphone Oxycodone is half as potent, mg for mg. So an 80mg Oxycontin would be roughly equal to a 40mg Opana ER A 20mg Opana ER would be like a 40mg dose of Oxycontin Converting instant release release oxycodone to Opana ER is different though. 15mg of oxycodone instant release would be, in terms of potency, roughly equivalent to 15mg of Opana ER.
Avatar f tn I’ve been taking 5mg oxymorphone extended release pills for 8 years. I recently had to switch primary care doctors because mine moved away. The first urine drug test I was asked to do was last Friday and they called today and said the drug didn’t show up in my system, and dropped me as a patient. I should start withdrawals tomorrow & I’m scared out of my mind. I’ve never failed a drug test, asked for an early refill, nothing like that.
Avatar m tn Opana worked well for me... But I have never had a med that works as long as it is supposed to! Have you ever tried Exalgo? It is hydromorphone instead of oxymorphone. I've done both but I'm on MS Contin for my extended release right now, it works well. Low dose ER meds only help to take the edge off so that the instant release works a little better. Maybe you should try a new IR like Roxie's, nucynta, or dilaudid.
Avatar m tn Both the brand and generic have the same active ingredient, oxymorphone in extended release form; however, the generic uses inferior time release technology that increased my pain levels significantly 6 hours after dosing. I did some research and the brand uses a patented TimerX -N technology that provides true 12 hour dosing versus fizzling out at 6-8 hours like other extended release formulations.
Avatar f tn I've been on opana for over a year the extended release but have stomach issues from chemo, so doc said change to the short acting opana but the nurse wrote prescription, when I filled it it is for dilaudid. I called and ask about it but the nurses are anything but helpful they dont want to have to change anything. I know it was supposed to be for opana but I'm wanting to know if I can take the dilaudid instead of opana without any problems.
Avatar f tn t for you, you could ask your doctor about Oxycontin (oxycodone in extended release form) or Fentanyl. The oxycodone may not be as effective for your pain as oxymorphone is stronger but Fentanyl is stronger than oxymorphone. So there are a couple of directions to take if you decide the Opana ER is not worth the side effects.
725248 tn?1316162245 Have you tried the extended release formula for Dilaudid? A new extended release formulation (OROS®) of Hydromorphone is available and I believe it is more afforable than the Fentanyl. Here is link about the medication... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2697506/ I wish you the best of luck. With today's economy we have to get what we can afford.
Avatar m tn THE GENERIC NAME FOR OPANA IS OXYMOPHONE. OXYMORPHONE IS GIVEN ORALLY IN EITHER ER (EXTENDED RELEASE), OR IR (IMMEDIATE RELEASE) IT IS VERY HIGHLY ADDICTIVE. MOST ABUSERS CRUSH AND SNORT IT LIKE OC USERS. SOME ALSO INJECT IT. I WAS AN ADDICT FOR EIGHT YEARS. AND A FUNCTIONING ONE AT THAT. BUT ONCE I ESCALATED TO OPANA, WITHIN THREE MONTHS I WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF IT. I COULD NO LONGER DO MY JOB OR SUPPORT MY WIFE AND CHILD IN ANY OTHER WAY.
Avatar n tn I have no experience with pharmaceuticals but do have professional experience with the controlled-release systems they are combined with. If the drug is extended-release, it is possible it will never entirely digest. Resin-coated tablets, and capsules using capillary diffusion models such as that of ALZA Pharm, can pass without any digestion of the capsule, and minimial digestion of an active compound-impregnated tablet.
1855076 tn?1337115303 I'm seeing the doctor today and the pain psychologist and I hope she'll be okay with me going back on the long-acting. I feel where I get some decent relief with the 10 mg. oxycodone, the oxycontin may do the trick. I only get about an hour on the oxycodone and I don't want to go up on the dose. I think an extended release med at a low dose may help. I am very happy I went off everything. I was on so much and at such high doses and really the lower dose works about as well.
Avatar f tn Has anyone tried the extended releExtended release Xanaxase Xanax? I know it has been on the market for a bit but I haven't heard any feedback.
1415174 tn?1453243103 Has anyone tried extended release Topamax or Topiramate? It is called Trokedi XR. I am going to try it because my memory is so bad on Topamax. My neurologist said it might be better with Trokedi XR but it is very expensive. So if you can tell me before I buy it I would appreciate any feedback.
775302 tn?1253100505 I'm on the Opana for BT pain and the Kadian is one every 12 hours. There is an Opana extended release but i'm not on that one. I've gone to all the websites and I just can't seem to figure out what the difference is I've even put in Oxymorphone vs. hydramorphone in the google box! Beleive me I've goggled my heart out. But thanks for getting back to me so quick.
1128643 tn?1262483649 If you require meds on a daily basis it really is better to be on something that is extended release. It will help stop the roller coster of the pain cycle. You can always use break through meds for spikes in pain levels. I have been on Kadian for well over 5 years. It has saved me. I was also one who did not have severe pain everyday, but it would vary depending upon what I was doing.
Avatar n tn lately, i cant brush my hair on the left side because it is so sensitive. Am i on the wrong meds? What do you think of the hydro 15mgs extended release verses the 7.5 mg of hydrocodone?
612551 tn?1450022175 I was recently prescribed 100 mg extended release beta blocker to increase my long time used 50 mg. Is it better to take 50 mg every 12 hours rather than 100 mg every 24 hours? If no, should I take 100 mg in morning or before bed?
Avatar n tn You may want to talk to your doc about the opana er (extended release) pills. They are more in line with what you were on. they come in 20,40.'s.
