Generic Oxycontin Prescription (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

Yesterday my doctor wrote me a prescription for "Oxycontin 20mg tablets" When I got to shoppers I was told they no longer make that medication. I was looking to get the generic oxycontins that I know are now available in Ontario. My doctor does not know much about this medication, and I am curious if she needs to write the prescription out differently. (I am thinking the generic name for oxycontin is oxycodone) Does anyone know for sure? As I have an appointment at the end of January and would be able to get the generic oxycontins that help relieve my chronic pain. I just need to be able to tell my doctor what the generic name is. Thank you in advance for all your help.

Yes the Dr. Needs to write a new script saying generic oxycodone in what ever milligram when you get them before you leave the pharmacy verify they say APO on one side and the milligram on the other

Hi Mac,

Oxycodone and Oxycontin are actually a little bit different. Oxycodone is an immediate release version and Oxycontin is an extended release version. If you're ok with immediate release I would just have your Doctor write you a new prescription.

I haven't heard anything or read anything that says Oxycontin is no longer available, have you tried any other pharmacies?
