Are There Any Generic Forms Of Oxycontin, The Oc Type, In Any Dosages?

Updated

Are there any generic forms of Oxycontin, the OC type, in any dosage? I remember that a while ago there were some generics out for this medication, but it seems like they have all disappeared.

Yes, they have all been removed from the market, due to the ever increasing amounts of abuse, theft and diversion.

The time released formulation of Oxycodone is now only available in the name brand Oxycontin, manufactured by Purdue Pharma.

The basic idea was that if it's only made by one manufacturer, then it makes it much easier to keep track of the supply and prevent theft and diversion.

However, there are other formulations of Oxycodone, which are available as both name brands and generics.

There is an immediate release formulation, the name brand for it would be OxyIR and there is a regular release formulation, the name brand for that would be Roxicodone.

Are there any other questions or comments?
