Is there anyone else flipping out yet about the soon to become Opana ER shortage. Where I come from that soon to become is NOW. As usual you hear bits and pieces from fellow pain management people to pharmacy workers, even a call into Activis that I made.
I want to leave this brief so that I am not out here filling the holes in the story with fiction. So I will do it like this in bullet fashion, perhaps the same can be done from others (or however you would like to add your knowledge).
Fact: From the news it appears to be true that Endo (Opana original maker) won a suit against Activis (a gerneric maker of Opana, the moons).
I don't exactly know how the dominos fall with this, but every single pharmacy is saying they will have troubles
getting oxymorphone, esp ER.
Fact: There is no doubt from multiple observations that Opana ER is hard to get and has been for about 2-3 weeks (may vary for your region). And I mean getting your legitimate legal script filled. I have no idea about the streets, but you know some where, some way, somebody is going to be handing over 150 bones for one forty. That is not my worry. I'm worried because there is nothing that works as good for me, and whatever this lawsuit is will likely have me in withdrawal going down to the MS garbage, I'm seriously thinking of asking for Methadone.
When I first posted about this a few weeks back, a very reliable source added much information to the topic. I will come back and post that thread here.
EDIT:

The informative and reliable source I mentioned has already checked in to this thread. TY.
So, my main questions for now:
1. How long will this dirge last
2. The original agreement was for the old original opana script to be made by Activis, Global and others well into the 2020s,
how will this be impacted.
3. Does this impact the IR (not ER) market/availability in any way.
4. What do we tell the doctors to replace it with?
