I live in Seattle, WA.  Supposedly these new generic 80's are being sold in my region. In my region they stopped selling the ABG 80's that Watson markets and the pharmacies replaced them with these 80/30 round green 80's. I just heard of this today as someone called and told me they are "around".

Pharmdwannabe is 100% correct.

The part that struck me as odd is the part about the pharmacies not stocking the ABG's anymore and have replaced them with "80/30's".  The forum topics, seemingly every other day, has a post about generic oxycontin, and when they will become strictly name brand again.  This is why I wanted to know where you heard about "80/30" oxycontin.  Thanks for the response though, and out of curiosity, has anyone confronted the pharmacies in question about this pill?

miss_keri_ann is correct, there will still be ABG's dispensed until the supply runs out.  It does not appear that the generic oxycontin tablets are going to disappear over night.  Although there have been some posters who have claimed their pharmacies do not stock the generics anymore, some have also posted that their pharmacist had heard nothing about the lawsuit.

Dava Pharmaceuticals  is still authorized to manufacture and sell generic oxycontin.    They have been fully released from any liabilities

 Of course their oxycodone products do not carry this ID that you mention

the other side with hae antoher number depending on the miligrams i forget what the numbers are for what mgs I'm pretty sure 93 / 33 is 80mg.

I still get the ABGs ...When are the generics suppose to stop?  Was it June of 07?

Yes, they are oxycontin cr's... It's a 80mg generic oxycontin made by Teva...they are a little different than how johnj139 explained them... I used to take the 40mg ABG's for a long time and all the sudden this month they are different.... they are oval yellow and stamped with 93 on one side and 32 on the other.... they seem a lot stronger than the ABG's also, thats why I looked it up on the net and found you guys talking about it and thought I would letchya know... oh yeah the 80's are the same but green with 93 on one side and 33 on the other...

The Tevas are no more apparently. The Davas are the authorized generics. The markings are G161 to G164.

Teva's have made arrangements with Perdue Fredrick to be allowed to still sell their Oxycontin generics. I know this as a fact.

i am fairly new here but i know for a fact u dont' call a fact unless u can prove it like gtr said prove all these fact's i also want to know because i get oxy20s and so far gtr and only a few other's knwo what there talkin about sry if i was too blunt but goodness u ppl are just throwing hear say around peace and love sry again if i offended anyone just prove all the fact's please

i got a perscription of my oxycontin and they said CDN on one side and 40 on the other....i took those and did absolutly nothing to me....did clear away any of my pain like a placebo or something i know these CDN's are canadian OCs but idk why i got them or why they dont clear my pain can anyone help?

Gtrplayer Actually I cannot post it because I  called  TEVA and a representative did call me back. Apparantly the headquaters is based in Israel but they apparantly have an office I beleive in New Jersey. He did tell me that they have an agreement with Perdue Fredrick. I always tried to get the 40 mg Watson's from Walgreen's but just this week unfortunatly I did receive the TEVA's. I cannot tell if they are the same quality as the Watson's or the Endo's The pharmacist told me   they have to be the exact equivalant according to FDA's laws. Well I will find out

That is consistent with This article from Purdue Pharma.  It says they reach a deal, but as far as I can gather, Dava pharmaceuticals is the only manufacturer still allowed to make generic Oxycontin.  The link you supplied states almost the same thing.  I'm still trying to find where it says TEVA can still make the product.  Most of the press releases say that Purdue is happy that TEVA acknowledges their patent, and as such, will not pursue any litigation or take action against the makers of generic Oxycontin, as long as they cease on, or prior to, June 14, 2007.

But, I admittedly know next to nothing about Oxycontin except for what is discussed on this site.

If you obtained your meds legally, I would contact Purdue and ask them if your suppose to be able to get those in America. Someone on here might already know, though.  I got some bad Ambien before and Sanofi-Aventis gave me a refund, but they wouldnt replace the product and they didnt tell me thats what they were going to do untill after I mailed them the pills, so make sure you find everything out if you plan on doing something about it, let your Doc and Pharmacist know.

hey mandy i have had the tevas and i didnt like them i sent a post on how the gel filler or the anti abuse mechanism got stuck in my throat and i was coughin up the gel but to answer ur ? yes the wax is for anti abuse but people stil abuse them

It's great to have you, I hope you find a lot of useful stuff. just remember to post according to the guidelines, there are certain things you can't say on here, like discussing any type of illegal drug use (I'm only saying this because I saw your post was edited). Welcome to pharmer!
