Medical Forum / General / Pharmacy / October 200480 Mg Generic Oxycontins?
Do they exist? I called my pharmacy and they said yes they had them but they were actually oxycodones. > Do they exist?

The generic is also oxycodone in an extended release formulation. BTW, why would you trust some anonymous newsgroup poster, but you don't trust your own pharmacy????????????? I'm still confused. The pharmacy says there is only an 80 mg generic for oxycontin yet my net research shows that they make oxycodone in 20,40 and 80 mg strengths, just like oxycontin. BTW most of the pharmacies I've gone to have 21 year olds behind the conter who know nothing. Pharmacist is always busy. find a small independent pharmacy. makes all the difference in the world > I'm still confused.

Pharmacist is always busy. > find a small independent pharmacy. makes all the difference in the world Shhh. Don't tell everyone. Then everyone starts using the independents and the next thing you know, they are all as busy and frenetic as the chains. I'm an independent and you can all come to my pharmacy! If I get too busy I just drop the worst insurance plan - saves more time for my cash patients. Brad >> find a small independent pharmacy. makes all the difference in the world > > Shhh.

Oxycontin 10, 20, 40, and 80 all have generic versions that have been at least tentatively approved by the FDA. Somehow, Teva was able to get the 80mg to market before Purdue's lawyers could stop it. Purdue then proceeded to challenge them all, eventually losing in court, opening the door for other generics. Due to oxycontin's track record of abuse, manufacturers have to jump through additional hoops to get it to market. I haven't heard when the others will be available, but as of a couple of days ago, the only generic Oxycontin available from our supplier was the 80mg. I wouldn't think it would be long now before Endo's 10, 20, and 40mg generics hit the shelves, but I wouldn't hold my breath either. >I'm still confused.

I want to know where the hell they found 21 year old clerks ..all of mine are 16 ... can't even sent one out to get me a liquid lunch at the liquor store... Bob Griffiths My experience with chain pharmacy was, "You don't need no frigging lunch. Boy, get to work!" > Damn....
