Since the drug company that makes the name brand OxyContin's most likely patented the new formulation,this means that generic versions of OC's like oxycodone extended release tablets will be like the old name brand OC's in the way they are formulated.I do not see the Pharmacuetical company that makes name brand OxyContins allowing all these genric made oxycodone extended release pills on the market to make the newly formulated pill ,since they will make a lot more money with the name brand version versus the lose in sales since OxyContin became available in generic versions of the old version.I think that until the payent expires in 7 or 10 years or however long they last for medicines,that only the Name Brand OC's will have the new formulation,and until then the old formulation will be available still as a generic.
