Is The Mylan Oxycodone As Effective On Pain As Qualitest ?

Is the Mylan oxycodone as effective on pain as qualitest? My pharmacy just switched me because the cost went up and my insurance wouldn't pay for it. I have been on it for years and really don't want to change manufacturers. They all are not the same. I am thinking of calling my insurance company tomorrow. If the Mylan doesn't work I have to be in pain for a month?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello dear,

Oxycodone is a semi synthetic opioid which acts relieve pain by acting through the central nervous system.
Whether it is manufactured by Qualitest or Mylan, the active ingredient will be equally effective.
But before changing the medication, it is always better to consult your treating Physician to avoid any unwanted side effects of the carrying agent used in the manufacture of the medication by the two different Pharmaceutical companies.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
