C'mon pharmacy man, tell the whole truth.
Generics can also be plus or minus twenty percent of the active ingredient ( the pharmarcokinetically equivalent ingredient ), whereas the brand must contain exact amount. The carrier ingredient can vary widely, hence the pills are harder or break up more readily.
The generics submit only certain data to the FDA for approval for human consumption , they can cherry pick the good batches, the brand medications must deliver all the data to the FDA , so they see all the batches. The good and the not so good.
The pharmacy makes MORE MONEY on GENERIC, because it's cheaper to buy wholesale and even marking it up to sell to the public won't make it as costly as brand but will result in a giant profit for the pharmacy.
There is absolutely a difference in each of the generics and the brand medications.

Check FDA requirements and you will learn that Generics can VARY for the active ingredient by 20% below or above the "labeled" dose, which is potentially a 40% swing and can explain why such variation in effect. (not to mention different "other" ingredients for color, flavor, preservatives, etc.)

Y'all can say what ever bullcrap you want but the fact is Roxicet is MUCH stronger. I have taken over 50mg of Percocet name brand or generic in one dose several times. Just barely takes away my pain. I took 3/4 of a Roxicet 30mg and was dope sick. Crazy fkd up. I have never taken Heroin but my friend enjoys it on occasion and he also took 1 roxicet 30mg. The next day at work he said OMG those Roxi's are heroin bro. I was like yea man I was sick and I dint even take a whole one.

roxicet has "tylenol" in it; when u say "pure percocet w/no tylenol, you actually mean roxicodone - and roxicodone is pure 'oxycodone,' (same ingredient as percocet) but just a brand name

Have to disagree with your comment about acetaminophen. There are many studies that show taking it with a narcotic perpetuates the effect. Also, although most generics are the same, the different fillers the companies put in DO effect absorption. I have always instructed my patients when taking Coumadin that it didn't matter if they took the trade name or warfarin as long as they stayed with the same one. Otherwise their protimes fluctuate all over the map. The different filler do effect absorption and thus effectiveness.

Everyone is confusing the acute care cet's with the done's that are the pure form of the active pain ingrediant....oxycodone. Roxi's only come in 15 or 30...Roxicet is mixed with aceto. As with percs.

I agree with some of what you are saying but not all. Everyone buys their ingredients from different companies. Each of those companies in turn buy them from someone. Most are going to get the cheapest they can find. They want to make as much money as possible. With that being said some cheaper companies could cut their ingredients down to make more of it and then sell to the company that makes the medicine. It does happen. There are these kind of practices going on all the time and the bigger company you are the more money you want to make. Almost everyone buys from other countries to get cheaper and make more.

I'm not sure if there is a difference between the percocet and roxicet or not. I'm going to a PM and if I have a UDA then I will be kicked out! I wish I knew the answer but I don't.

It's definitely different I don't care what they say. The pain relief isn't the same at all
