Yes Irene, me too. But when I went on March 1st, only one walgreen in the entire Pensacola area had only 54 of the Apotex OC 80 in stock. Don't know whats up for next month. I sure hope they can restock.

It is getting tough out there anymore to find any generic 80mg OC at Walgreens, either Entex or Apotex. Went this week and had to settle for the 54 that only one store in the entire area had in stock!

I sure hope things change cause I can't afford the name brand price, nor do they work as well as the generics

Atleast your finding them! Had a great run up until January! They've been out up here in the Northeast Ct and New York for sure! Hope they switch back! Haven't found one person completely satisfied with them yet! Good luck y'all!!!

Hi Focus,
The answer to your question is the generic oc's are only available at Walgreens, and tey are just what they have left in the warehouses. When they're gone they will be no more. Purdue is no longer making them for the US market. So now you have to shop around every month from one walgreens to another till you can find them. It sucks, believe me I know. But this is the first month I have'nt been able to find the oc's at a walgreens, and had to get the crappy op's, and they do SUCK. So you just have to shop different walgreens till you find one that has them, and they are getting harder to find.

Hi Irene,
Just tell me what to ask for. I called 38 walgreens in my area and could'nt find them. This is the first time I couldn't find the oc's, but walgreens says they aren't making oc's anymore and they are using up whats in the warehouses. But if you can tell me what to ask for that I haven't tried please tell me cause I HATE these op's. They don't work as well on my cancer pain, and give me a terrible headache.

i WISH i could give you an answer but it appears that walgreens is DISCONTINING the ocs. Its not that they aren't being made, Walgreens doesn't want the liability any longer. Ask your local ma and pop pharmacist to check with distributor to get ethex or apotex generic oxycontins. I have done this and my pharmacists now has a lead on getting them. I will post how it pans out.
