Liquid Oxycodone.. - Pain Management Message Board

Does anyone know if that is easily available right now? I called around before my refill of Oxy IR and found no one had it, and some said they didn't have a lot of percocet available either (probably from people like me going to percocet since they couldn't get the oxycodone). I ended up going with vicodan since I had been feeling better than when I was originally scripted the oxy and everybody seemed to have it. Apparently the reason I was doing so well is that the oxy/ms contin combo was working really well. The vicodan, not so much.

If the liquid is easily available I can ask my doc about that for next month. I guess I'll start calling around now, so I have the info when I get my refills, but if anybody knows if it's available that would help.

Most of the time you will have to get the pharmacy to order it for you. However, there should not be any problem with the liquid version but I can't say for sure since I don't take it. Sometimes you will need to take the prescription into the pharmacy before they will order it

The liquid is now on national backorder as well. There were only three types to start with....Roxicodone, which is brand, a generic by Landmark, and Ethex....Ethex has been recalled.

Purdue Pharma once made "Oxyfast", a liquid, but they don't any more, I don't think.
