If I have a prescription for oxycontin 40mg and they are not in the pharmacy, can I get a dose of 20mg times double in the pharmacy?. Because a replacement is not the same

We have just received information from the manufacturer that a new batch of OxyContin in doses of 5 and 80 mg has been released for sale. A dose of 40 mg will also be available in the coming days. Pharmacies can place orders. In the coming days, we expect an improvement in the availability of the drug in pharmacies. Here you will be able to track the availability of the drug: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/58566/oxycontin-tabletki-o-przedluzonym-uwalnianiu/apteki

Mrs. Pochopien, please do not misinform these poor people, if a pharmacist persists, she has the right NOT to spend a smaller dose, because she can always say that these are strong opioid drugs and so the replaced product can (it is not known if it will be, but potentially there is such a possibility) work differently. I know cases that pharmacists have refused many times, although sometimes they change. So it is not so certain what you wrote.

Yes, if the prescription meets all formal requirements, you can get a dose of 20 mg instead of a dose of 40 mg.
