does anyone else know whats going on with getting the roxycodone filled in pinellas county? They say you cant even buy the white pills anymore, and the place where I get mine ( the blues ) filled just went fron $1 a piece to $3 a piece.

thats a big jump when you go from spending $180 to $360. Anyone help?

There is a national shortage of oxycodone pills due to recalls by several different companies and the other companies are trying to pick up the slack. Here are the following manufacturers and what they are doing:

Mallinckrodt continues to work diligently to meet the market need during this temporary period of limited supply.

Xanodyne is releasing product as it becomes available.

Vintage Pharmaceuticals is releasing product as it becomes available.

The shortage may continue until may/june of this year so you may want to have your doctor switch you to liquid oxycodone as a substitute.
