well--so much for the roxicodone anymore, atleast for now. Doc switched me to 40mg OxyContin 2x/day but the brand is RIDICULOUSLY expensive, I know a lot of manufacturers that produced generics aren't any longer producing. My question: Are there ANY OxyContin generics left?

Both Mallinckrodt and the
Both Mallinckrodt and the FDA have Oxycodone ER listed as Prescription status. Its possible that Mallinckrodt got sick of the ashp contacting them for updates. I got my script filled with generic oxycodone er by mallinckrodt this month after all the walgreens in the area not having any for months. I know it can take a while for all supplies to work there way through the wholesale warehouse system, but to go months without any and then out of the blue to get a lot in stock leads me to believe that they are still currently in production. According to the original press release from mallinckrodt and purdue they are only on contract to be made "in limited quantities for a limited time ending in 2009". With sales and profits being higher than expected I dont see any reason why either side they wouldnt have agreed on an extension if the contract ran out.

here is the replacement for roxi
Drug firm Sun Pharmaceutical Industries has informed that the US health regulator Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has finally granted its subsidiary an approval for its Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) to market oxycodone hydrochloride tablets.
The drug is a generic version of Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals' Roxicodone tablet, which is used as a narcotic painkiller in the treatment of moderate to severe pain. The company said that it would launch the products in US market shortly, in the strength of 5mg, 15mg and 30mg.
According to reports, oxycodone tablets have annual sales of approximately US$160 million in the US.
Recently, Sun Pharmaceutical got U. S. Food & Drug Administration approval to make and sell generic versions of anticonvulsant topiramate tablets.

I believe so, if you're
I believe so, if you're compfortable with mailing your actual paper RX out. Because I'm sure as ???$* not, especially not for a CII prescription. I'll take my chances finding it myself.
Can anyone advise on a reliable and cheap omline pharmacy that also provides prescipt. i have degenerative disk disease also a terminal diag. and my doctor will only prescribe 60 mg oxycodone a day says anything more will destroy my liver. I said what the ???$* do i care about my liver you said i only had 2-3 yrs anyway.but youre liver wont be destroyed if they invent a cure.
Makes no sense to me but my ins limits the group of doctors i can see
