| |  Round pill, says "oxy 10" and nothing else
I've googled like crazy to try and find out what this pill is....it's white, but looks like it may have possibly had a coating on it? It's scored on one side and flat on the other and says "oxy 10", but nothing else. I know what oxy 10's are but they also have IR or something else on them. Could this be a generic form of a 10mg oxycontin?????  |

| | you mean oc 10
Oxycontin 10mg tabs are small round white pills with oc on one side and 10 on the other.They do not say oxy.Did you mean OC? IR might mean instant release but im not positive on that. |

OP, does it have a large P on the other side? Since your pill is scored it is not a CR. |

| |  Thought I could help ...
I've been on oxycontin for years. Have cronic pain issues unfortunately. The one thing you asked about is the IR on the pill. That means it's an 'instant release' pill -vs- a 'time released' pill. I'm prescribed 80 mgs of the 'time released' so there is a coating of bluish/green on it and say 80 on one side and OC on the other. I'm also on "oxydodone" which is IR for breakthrough pain. They are 30 mgs though, light blue and generic. Not sure about the "OXY 10" on yours though so be careful. Sometimes the way you put the info on the 'pill indentifier' is tricky. Your better off putting 'less' details in there more so then too much. You also have to keep in mind that there are MANY drug manufactures so you can get lost looking up various pills depending on what company distributes them.
Good Luck! And like I said be careful!! These are very strong pain pills and if you're not used to them you never know the effect they may have. And very addictive but I have to have them for pain management. I watch Intervention alot on A&E and it's a great show!! Scary if you're not used to those situations but are VERY EDUCATIONAL!   |

The OP didn't say it has IR imprinted on it, so as far as I know this pill is not oxycodone.
I mentioned another imprint that is imprinted OXY 5 and a P (Pharmascience logo) on the other side, don't confuse this with oxycodone, OXY 5 P is 5mg Oxybutynin Chloride (Ditropan) which is a anticholinergics/antispasmodic (treats UTI's). |

NO, it is NOT, like I already said since it's scored it can't be a controlled release drug, which Oxycontin is, pills are scored so they may be broken into pieces, CR's are never to be broken. |

I hope this helps you. |

The OP's imprint says OXY 10, not OXY IR 10, we don't have an OXY 10 in our database so who knows what it is? This could be counterfeit. Oxy doesn't always stand for oxycodone. |

Oxy doesn't always stand for oxycodone. | Kind of like talking to yourself, huh?  Ditto on the scored, controlled release meds like OxyContin are NEVER scored (as you said), and "oxy" could technically refer to several meds....oxybutynin, oxymetazoline, oxymetholone, oxymorphone, oxytetracycline, oxytocin........I realize that "oxy" as a SLANG term means oxycodone or OxyContin, but slang terms do not appear on pills, folks. I realize when you badly want to believe something to be true, you only hear what you want, but seriously.... | |
