Comparing Dilaudid vs Oxycodone

For Pain: Dilaudid is used for break through pain and it does an excellent job. I can honestly say that this medicine works very well between doses of my primary medicine. I would recommend that everyone follow your doctors directions to the letter, never take more than you are prescribed of ANY medicine. If I hadn't been put on the proper medicines, I would likely have ended up in an institution due to the pain being so bad. People don't realize how hard it is to live with chronic pain 24/7 unless they have been there at some point themselves.

For Pain: I received this medication on multiple occasions. Typically the situation involved me being awake for a small surgical procedure. Though this became a typical procedure that I grew used to and at times would receive with only local anesthetics, the times I had dilaudid were far better. It reduced my anxiety for the situation and didn't cause me to feel too out of it after the procedure was done (maybe about 20 minutes?).

For Chronic Pain: The Larger issues with Generic Pain Medication is two fold; 1) The FDA does NOT have a Standard to measure the Generic Oxycodone performance as there was NEVER a Brand name to set the standard. The FDA cannot test because there is no STANDARD or Baseline Minimums for comparative analysis and; 2) The FDA Rules on the initial approval on a Generic Medication DO NOT REQUIRE ANY HARD RULE FOR MINIMUM AMOUNT OF EFFECTIVE INGREDIENT AND does NOT require FDA TESTING. 1) IMMEDIATELY REPORT THIS TO YOUR TREATING PHYSICIAN. IF IN A HOSPITAL, YOU, AND ONLY YOU HAVE TO AGREE TO BE DISCHARGED FROM CARE. A DOCTOR OR HOSPITAL CANNOT FORCE YOU TO BE DISCHARGED, (or its considered abandonment of Patient Care) AND; 2) FILE A REPORT OF ADVERSE EFFECTS OF THE MEDICATION WITH THE FDA IMMEDIATELY. You can report an issue with a Medication to the FDA online by googleing MedWatch Online Voluntary Reporting Form or via telephone at: Call FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

For Chronic Pain: If you're unfortunate enough to be prescribed RHODES PHARMA brand of oxycodone, the only way(s) I've found to make them effective in controlling my pain is either taking them immediately following a high-fat meal to help with absorption. They don't work as well as K9 / 223 / a215 brands do. Everyone needs to report this rubbish Rhodes brand to the FDA immediately, and demand a better, more reliable generic from your pharmacies. If enough complaints are issued, they'll stop carrying them! Worst rated generic for oxycodone hcl on the market - even rated worse than Xtampza!
