*PIC ADDED* Global Pharma's Generic Oxymorphone ER (opana)
see picture some posts below!!
Why have I not seen any threads on bluelight about the new generic that just started shipping on Jan 1? I was anxious to read folks experiences with it, and hopefully see a picture! This is NOT the 7.5 and 15mg generic that's been around for awhile now from Actavis. This is for ALL strengths equivalent to Opana ER's. 5, 10, 20, 30, 40.
The new generic is based off of the original Opana ER formulation. Not even the chlorine tasting half-moon formula, again the ORIGINAL "opana" form.
It is Impax Pharma's generics division known as Global (edit, said 'World' on accident) Pharma.
Granted I don't check bluelight on a regular basis, but I imagined it would've been a hot topic.
I asked my pharmacist, and he looked them up on his computer... he was shocked, but found them to be in stock and otherwise had no idea of their existence. He was a little upset because he said sometime in the near future, insurance claims for Endo's Opana ER will be declined with NO notice, directing him to the fact that they will only be covering the new generic. He said when this happens, he will end up being stuck with $500+ worth of brand name pills he wont be able to sell.
