^Yeah, that sounds about right...
I've heard very differently from multiple people. Purdue has an agreement with ethex to allow them to distribute OC in return for royalties. Purdue has switched to the new formulation, however, that new formulation is under a patent and ethex cannot distribute the new formulation. Ethex can continue to distribute the old formulation, which under contract purdue has to continue making for them.. and since purdue can't give ethex the new formulation because it is patent protected, they will continue to give them the old one. Pharmacies have been able to recently order generic's from Ethex. If it was discontinued, they would not be able to do so.

All the posts in the threads I linked are from September and the end of August. The new OP's rolled out at the beginning of August and you know how quickly pharmacies "ran out of stock of old OC's", they would run out of ethex generics within a month too, but they haven't yet which is because pharmacies have been able to order Ethex's. It's a good thing
