Can Change In Manufacturers And Colour Of Pill Cause Any Side Effects?
Hi, I have a pill that has all the markinsg of the Malinkrodt (sp) 15 mg. oxycodone (M 15) but it is white instead of green. A local pharmacist told me it was an oxycodone 15 mg but I wanted a second opinion. Can you please help? Thank you, jabell I did not realize there was a fee And I am not in a position to pay that now. I am sorry for the inconveince. Jabell

Jabell, there are both free and paid questions so thanks for using our service. It is commonn for pharmacies to use different generics for many medications. There are a few conditions, like thyroid, that you would need to get blood tests to make sure that changing generics did not cause a problem. For pain medications changing manufacturers should not be a problem.
