Is There A Generic For Brand Name Oxycontin Extended Release? (Page 2) (Top voted first)

Updated

The cost is way too high. I though generic oxycontin was coming back. Does anyone have an update?

I know here in Tennessee there is no generic for Oxycontin. Because the company went back and changed the drug to make it more abuse deterent there is supposedly no generic available for this new type of Oxycontin. They may still be able to get the older version generic but I'm not sure they are supposed to be selling it. The brand company got a new patent on their new formulation so generic companies aren't allowed to make it yet. At least that is what I have found and been told by the pharmacy.

I have been on oxycodone 10/325 5xday for years for pain relief so I could work. This year my neurologist put me on Oxicontin 20mg 3xday. I went to fill it At my pharmacy few weeks ago and he said he was waiting on a delivery for generic. He gave me brand instead. I have 2 questions. Is there a generic and was does op stand for? I heard there was no generic and I know its time release but I also heard the fillers r dangerous. Please tell me if u no the answers. Thanks Sue

I have medicare, my part D is Caremark/CVS and oddly they cover brand name oxycontin but not generic oxycodone ER.
I pay less than $8 for 56 on Medicare at Rite Aid, CVS, or Wallgreens.

Yeah oxycodone ER. My medicare part D won’t pay for it-only the brand name-but the pharmacy filled it for me one time because they thought “substitutions permitted” meant they should do that even if my insurance doesn’t cover it.

Rite aid had them.

I get oxicodone 10mg 5 xday for breakthrough . my neurologist gives me Oxicontin 20mg 3xday. They don't work. Should I ask her for ER oxicodone? Isn't that same drug I am already taking except for ER? Sue

Try the Fentanyl patch! You'll find that it gives effective and consistent pain relief and you're insurance most likely will cover it. See my other post.

There is a generic brand of oxycontin available since Jan 2015. Depending on your insurance it may be cheaper to buy the name brand. Check with your pharmacy.
