Old Opana

The old formulation of Opana (octagonal) was far superior than oxycodone in relieving severe chronic pain. Opana is a time released medication that is extremely potent
Because of people who abused it, several people died due to overdose. The FDA mandated that Opana be reformulated to deter abuse. The new Opana is, at least for me, totally ineffective although the extremely high cost remained. As of June 2013, there is a generic available although it is still outragesly expensive.

And once again, what is relevant to you is not necessarily applicable to everyone else.

While Opana may have worked better for you than Oxycodone, there are other people who didn't have good luck with it and got much better results from Oxycodone.

Everyone is different and your making such broad statements doesn't take that into account, when you can only speak for your own experiences with any given medication.

Are there any comments or questions?
