For Chronic Pain "Oxycodone 5 mg from Rhodes Pharmaceuticals does not work at all. When I am in the hospital, I am given a different oxycodone pill with 503 on it, and it does work, so I know it is not a dosage problem. I also have been on oxycodone for about 10 years and have never had this problem before."

For Chronic Pain "Rhodes oxycodone is the only brand any pharmacy in town carries. They're very inconsistent, but this month they take hours to take effect. This is new. Usually, they are bad, but at least they kick in. It takes about 2.5 hours for half a pill to work. Anyone else have this problem?"

For Pain "PILL I.D. specified Rhodes Pharmaceutical as the distributor of my drug and verified on Walmart fact sheet the MFG. [manufacturer] Purdue Pharma - in Conn. This drug is the biggest joke ever. A complete total rip-off and wonder if I got the placebo dose instead as far as pain relief goes - a total joke I could not relax a housefly with this dose - and Walmart has to alert me of the danger? I practically laughed at the pharmacist. I saw the dose my doctor generously left [the 5mg] - and sarcastic as always - said oh goodie - I got the baby dose. This has to be a super cheap generic ripping us off in still another method. I followed up with an acetaminophen/codeine pill and what a difference. pill I.D. M with a large 3 on reverse side - and just no comparison. This medicine was not worth the gasoline I burned in a Civic to drive to pick them up."

For Pain "Rhodes Oxycodone is worse than nothing! At first, I thought it was a reaction to something else I was taking. But now I see others with the same complaints! This stuff is crap! I feel tired, groggy, lethargic, and still in pain. I was on KVK tech doing fine! Now CVS, Costco, Community pharm in Texas using this Rhodes garbage. My life is ruined!"

For Chronic Pain "Rhodes, chamber, Amneal brand of oxycodone sucks. These meds have gone downhill! I have done everything I can do with FDA MedWatch, pharmacy, doc, it sucks. I guess I'm going to try something else that I can afford!"

For Chronic Pain "I take oxycodone for breakthrough pain. Last night, the pharmacy gave me oxycodone made by a different manufacturer - Rhodes. I took it and then had symptoms of withdrawal! Is there even ANY oxycodone in this pill?! Now, I have a month's supply of a narcotic medication that doesn't work! I am NOT going to suffer through withdrawal symptoms for the next month just because this pill SAYS it is oxycodone, but it actually doesn't do anything at all for pain! This drug should be taken off the market! Who tested this medicine and decided that it was suitable?! My advice is this: if a pharmacy tries to give you oxycodone made by the manufacturer, Rhodes, do NOT take it. Tell them that you are allergic to it and that you need a different brand. I am giving a rating of 1, but this rating is for the RHODES brand of the drug and not the drug itself."

For Chronic Pain "Normally it would be effective, but the generic RHODES brand Walgreens has been torturing people with is HORRIBLE. And what happens is we try to dispute its efficacy? We get labeled as seeking a stronger medicine. I have been in agony the last two months because Walgreens has been prejudiced against people who need pain meds and their need to appear they are not over-dispensing. They have been OUT OF 10 mg, thus have been late getting orders filled or having us have to cancel our prescription, get a doctor authorization again so we can fill it at another pharmacy DURING COVID when they are busy when it can take 72 hours. Then another Walgreens will be out or finally only have that generic Rhodes. Awful medicine, awful treatment :("

For Chronic Pain "Yes, I've noticed the quality of pain meds has drastically declined along with the duration. Even while taking the same brand. Now, only one brand is Rhodes, the size of an 800 mg Ibuprofen, and it didn't touch my pain, and it made me break out in a rash. All pharmacies are saying it's the only brand they can get. I've been on pain meds for many years due to surgical errors and permanent complications because of them. The pharmacy was also not allowing me to pick up my med on the refill day and made me call the day after it ran out and wait until they filled it. Up to 16 hours without. Blaming everyone, but insurance, and the doctor is saying differently. I have left CVS because of it. I've written our state's representatives and the medical board and insurances, and they just say there's nothing they can do. I'm on my own, oh, and have a good day. I have a life in bed, and everyone has abandoned me because I can't get out of bed. Even with 37 years of marriage, it's taking a big toll, and the professionals don't care, they blacklist you."

For Chronic Pain "Rhodes makes, in my opinion, the least efficacious opioid generics on the market. The 20mg oxycodone IR looked like a huge prop pill from a vaudeville sketch! There is no reason for a pill to be this large, save for the need to cram as much filler in the tablet as possible. My usual pharmacist was not there and the newbie guy did not notice the instruction 'This patient must have KVK brand.' I made the mistake (which will never happen again, I assure you!) of not checking that all meds were KVK (and I haven't noticed a drop in efficacy in KVK... Mallinckrodt is up in the air for me; it's subtle; like the pill when you cut it in half is crumbly... bad sign). So, I was stuck with these Rhodes 20mg, which were, no exaggeration, nearly twice the size of a KVK Tech 20 milligram! Rule of thumb (of course, there are exceptions): if you have a 20mg or 30mg oxycodone, if the size between the two is negligible, and the outside coating is somewhat glossy, that is usually a quality product."

For Chronic Pain "As with others on here, oxy was a lifesaver for me. After a failed spinal fusion and years of PT, I was finally put on a dose of 30 mg daily. It helped greatly maintain my life. Then something happened, one day my pain level went through the roof-no injury, nothing obvious-and I've been barely able to walk since. I'm wondering if there was a change in medication strength after reading these horror stories on here. Recently, I changed doctors and pharmacy and received the Rhodes brand and noticed it had zero effect on my pain. Something seems to be going on that needs investigating because if we keep needing more and more meds to get relief (not from tolerance buildup), then it makes us look bad when we already have a hard enough time finding compassionate doctors who understand our constant pain. I will definitely say that pain meds have a place for people like us, but stuff like this is making it harder to defend."

For Chronic Pain "I was taking the Rhodes brand 30 mg oxycodone for 2 years with exceptional relief. This pill is easy to cut in half or quarters, which is almost impossible with other brands. Now the pharmacy changed to KVK Tech and it’s substandard to Rhodes, plus, KVK causes severe stomach trauma and nausea. The Rhodes brand is superior and should be used by all pharmacies because it works and is less likely to be abused because of its size."

For Chronic Pain "I have a brain tumor causing extreme migraines and have rheumatoid arthritis, the Rhodes, Mallacroft, and a host of other generics that I am forced to try that do not alleviate the terrible pain I endure. What pharmacy in Fort Worth, Texas, offers the KvK Tech Roxicodone? This brand works best. The other generic drugs are useless. Only KvK Tech releases the terrible pain. Also, chronic pain destruction to my knees, wrists, hands, and fingers prevents a quality life."

For Chronic Pain "Rhodes Pharmacy 5 mg oxycodone has saved my life. Oxys from other companies like KVK made me feel depressed, high, and sick to my stomach, but gave me pain relief still. And one day my pharmacy supplied Rhodes P. for the first time, and bingo! I fell for it ever since. In my case, Rhodes P. components cope perfectly with my body and feel practically normal and almost pain-free with 2 to 3 x 5 mg per day. A piece of advice, be active and try to exercise as much as you can, and don't rely on this med to solve your physical problems, and remember, always be positive!"

For Chronic Pain "I have a birth defect that limits mobility in the Achilles tendon, and I’ve been on oxycodone since I turned 18 due to my doctors being limited with opiates as a minor. Over the years, I have changed doses and brands that manufacture them, and I’ve noticed that the most important part when taking this medication is getting the right brand. I really can’t stress this enough, some brands are absolutely terrible and should be investigated or, at the very least, sued. Comparing Rhodes Pharma to KVK Tech - the KVK Tech is by far the best brand for oxycodone hydrochloride. The Rhodes Pharma formula for this medication is horrible, extremely inefficient, I had to take triple my dose to get any relief and got weird side effects like long-lasting headaches. I would rate KVK Tech 10/10 for effective, but in order to achieve that, I need to combine this medication with Gabapentin."

For Chronic Pain "This Rhodes company makes the worst generic oxycodone ever! I don't understand how a different company has a more effective medication, no side effects. While Rhodes does not seem to help, my pain lingers longer than 2 hours, it causes me nausea, headaches, jaw aches, it's horrific! If you have a choice, choose anything but this company."

For Chronic Pain "I take this for severe DDD/DJD in neck and lumbar. My pharmacy recently switched brands of oxycodone, so I'm now taking the Rhodes brand. It does not work! I thought it was just me, but clearly it's the medicine itself. I am lucky if I get an hour's worth of relief from it. Our good old government doesn't give a damn about the millions of us that have to live in pain 24/7."

For Chronic Pain "Looks like I had to take a look at reviews and share my experience with the prescription of Rhodes 10 mg, 120 count oxycodone I received last month. I am 100% disabled, have had over 12 surgeries for all knees and shoulders, including 2 total replacements. Degeneration of spine and herniated disk. Sarcoma survivor and several comorbidities. Pain medication for over 15 years. Usually, all I have received has been the KVK Tech brand. CVS handed me this Rhodes brand. From the first dose, it was off, I felt light dizziness, nausea, and hot flashes. Didn't notice pain relief. Like others, I'm sure don't want to call up and rock the boat with the prescribers and chemists since the monthly process is so painful. I did call CVS today inquiring about my doctor specifically prescribing a generic brand name after this last month's fiasco of torture. His response was it's whatever CVS purchases at the time and cannot guarantee a request. Don't understand why, if a doctor specifically writes as prescribed, they can't just order it."

For Chronic Pain "On roxi 30 mgs, 6x a day. Reading all the negs about Rhodes brand. I've been on the little blue pills for 5 yrs. I've got to say, everyone's different. The little K/59? Did work, but found I was taking more and double dosage for relief, which led to running out, sometimes 2 wks before refill. Sucks, withdrawal I guess like heroin. Anyhow, when switching to the RP/30, they work better, long term for me. Only time I would be able to still have right amount by refill. If I take them too close together, they made me sick as in nervous, wired the wrong way. So I'm scared to take differently than prescribed, also, pain stayed away longer. Just proves everyone is different. I enjoy the Rhodes ones. I truly hope that you can find YOUR right combination. ...peace...love..out!"

For Chronic Pain "I have been on oxy for many years due to degenerative disk disease and osteoarthritis. It has been a lifesaver for me. Recently, I have been forced off of it since my physician declared to stop prescribing opioids for everyone in her practice. So, after dealing with that mess, I was able to go back on and was treated with Rhodes brand. Horrible med, no pain relief, and trying to convince the doctor it doesn't work only gets you filed under drug seeker. If you have a choice, go with other brands. Fortunately, I found a doctor who listens and cares, she prescribed me the Met brand that works very well, and now I have my life back as much as possible."

For Chronic Pain "Yes, I feel Rhodes' brand of oxycodone is garbage too, ask your doc for oxycodone hydrochloride USP. It has 5, 15, and 30 only. Respectively, it has the most oxycodone free base in the equivalent."
