Opioids **The Oxycodone Mega Thread.** - Can't find your thread? Its in here.

hmm im pretty sure there around i got a 40mg impax about 3 weeks ago and i wasnt even sure it was real till i looked it up
 
Most pharmacies put their waste in a biohazard bin (see 2nd paragraph), so I'd guess that these dumpster divers are lucky enough to have found the very few pharmacies that just throw stuff in the trash, or, what I think is more likely, they are flat out bullshitting. Which isn't a huge stretch of the imagination. ("Everybody lies" - Dr. House) ;)

The biohazard bins may have some pills, along with some vials still containing drugs. However, they will mostly be full of used needles, and to my knowledge are not placed out with the rest of the trash. So... good luck to anyone who dives in those. You're going to get stuck by a needle. :(

You can still get them here if your insurence gets the generics. My buddy was getting 40s and would pay extra for purdue and would get the ABGs once and a while when they didnt have his full script of purdue brand, and those were discountinued also. I havent seen Impax in a few months tho.

ABG's were not discontinued. Were they? As far as I'm aware, they are one of the two generics available.

PillPoppingAnimal, this thread could have been posted in the OxyContin Mega Thread, especially since it's about the OxyContin Mega Thread. Call me crazy, but I think that would have made more sense. EDIT - I merged it in for you. Next time, use some common sense.

As far as the Impax brand OC's go, if someone can show me solid proof that they are not discontinued, then and only then will I change the status. Solid proof does not equal a picture of the pill you bought, a prescription bottle full of them, or anything along those lines. Solid proof would be the company's website stating their pills are still on the market, a press-release stating the pills are on the market, or anything along those lines (i.e. a written statement). EDIT - PillPoppingAnimal, did you even read the first post of the OC Mega Thread?

IMPAX BRAND : STILL AVAILABLE, with license to produce limited amounts thru Dava Pharma until at least January 28, 2008, or until it sells its quota, whichever is first.

What you are getting are likely left-overs.

Same goes for ABG brand. If there is proof they have been discontinued, post it and I will make the change. EDIT - I notice there are some inconsistencies in the first two posts. I'm going to go ahead and fix them so it matches. I'm surprised no one has pointed this out sooner.

FINAL EDIT - After making the changes to the first post, I've come up with a project for you guys. Find me proof of continuity/discontinuation for ALL generic brands of OC so we can have an accurately updated thread. After noticing the first two posts didn't match, I'm finding it hard to trust which one was correct. I've updated it to what I believe to be correct, but I'd like to find some information to support it, so if anyone can find it, post it up.

oxycontin 30 mg

I just recently picked up a few oc 30 mgs time release that I had thought were immediate release just wondering if anyone knows of the best way to take these. I took a half orally last night and really dident feel much from it and couldn't figure out why till I looked up that it was hcl. Anyway is there a good way to break the time release on these things???
 
it depends on who makes them. Are they Purdue or generic ? There is a thread that may help I don't have a link handy, but you'll find it pretty fast with the search engine.
 
^ Yes, there is an Oxycontin Mega Thread.

If they are Purdue, just chew/crush them thoroughly and that should do the trick I believe.

Merging into the Oxy Mega Thread.

We see so many threads about this on here so I thought maybe a informative 'Whats the real deal' thread might be helpful. If it aint, mods do what it do. :) If a mod can think of a clearer or better title it would be cool tho, since I cant come up with a good one.

What Happened to Generic OxyContin? What is the update on the situation now?

In this thread I put the current status of all the generics at the end, so if that is what you are here for just scroll down. For the people who are confused about how it all happened and all that stuff , read on....Once Upon a Time, Purdue Pharma had a patent on OxyContin, and there was no generic pills. In 2005, the US court of appeals decided that Purdues patents on the pill were partially unenforcable, since they had lied and claimed that there was a special mechanism delivering the medication , which was un true. They said Purdue was illegally blocking manufacture of generics. This is when the whole circus started. Endo, Impax (Now distributed through Dava Pharma), Watson/IVAX, and TEVA were the main generic brands. Im sure there might have been other ones but its hard to get that info.

-Endos had the E7XX stamp on them. (E702, E703, E705, and E710 for 10 20 40 and 80 respectively.)

-Impax had the G16X stamp on them. (G161, G162, G163, G164 for 10 20 40 and 80. These were the white 10s, pink 20s, purple 40s, and orange 80s. They were the only generics AFAIK that did not have the usual oxy colors of 10/white 20/pink 40/yellow and 80/green which is why I mentioned it.)

-TEVA was the first generic manufacturer and makes the "football" pills, ( Stamped with 93 on one side, and 24, 31, 32, 33 for 10 20 40 and 80.)

-Purdue (ABG's) manufactured the ABG stamp pills, with IVAX pharma originally bein the distributors, and then later Watson earned exclusive rights to be the marketers of the pills. Purdue made the pills and sold them to these 2 companies, with purdue makin a share of the profits from the distributing companies. (These were the most familiar stamped with ABG and 10 20 40 and 80)

-Purdue makes the brand name of course, and yall know what that looks like but just for continuity sake they say OC 10 20 40 and 80. (FYI, Purdue reversed the decision to stop making 160mg OC's and they are listed on the Purdue website as being a current product. Those 160's got stopped for a while after 2001 when the crazy OC publicity really started goin but are back in business now, tho I doubt any of us will see them, since they only get prescribed to 1% of OC patients.)

This went on for a while with all these pills bein available. Then, in 2006, Purdue kept appealing and eventually scared all the generic companies into shutting down, or coming to some kind of agreement to work on in the future.

Endo's were the first to go, and Purdue came to agreement with them that by December 31, 2006, they would stop selling all generic oxys. To read the whole official document (NSFW to save space and eye strain):
NSFW:
Purdue and Endo have now settled the patent infringement lawsuit between them that was pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. According to the agreement, Endo will stop selling infringing versions of OxyContin by the end of 2006. In exchange, Purdue Pharma will not pursue damages against Endo for Endo's past infringement of its OxyContin patents.Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Endo will no longer dispute that the Purdue Pharma OxyContin patents are valid, enforceable and infringed by Endo's extended-release oxycodone product. The parties also have agreed to propose to the Court a consent judgment holding that Endo is infringing the Purdue patents and prohibiting Endo from infringing sales after December 31, 2006.

Impax was next, but they didnt get totally shut down like Endo. They agreed that by June 14 of 2007 they would stop marketing their generic OCs, with a possible deal in the future that might allow them to continue making and marketing the pills. They had to stop by that date but may be still making pills, I could not find info about that situation I dont think they set the conditions yet. The whole announcement:
NSFW:
Purdue Pharma announced, on April 2, 2007, that it had reached a settlement ending the OxyContin® suit with IMPAX Laboratories. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, IMPAX acknowledges the validity and enforceability of the OxyContin® patents and concedes that IMPAX’ extended-release oxycodone products infringe Purdue’s patents. In return, Purdue agreed to cease pursuing damages against IMPAX for past infringement. Purdue, additionally, agreed to grant a license, which allows IMPAX to continue marketing its extended-release oxycodone products through June 14, 2007 with possible continued distribution rights in the future. The settlement agreement is presently being reviewed by federal antitrust authorities before being submitted to the federal district court for consent.

TEVAS are still in production right now, but must stop at a later date that they did not determine yet. Official statement:
NSFW:
Purdue Pharma L.P. of Stamford, Connecticut and Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. of North Wales, Pennsylvania have agreed to end their lawsuit concerning certain Purdue Pharma patents on OxyContin (oxycodone HCl controlled-release) Tablets. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Teva will cease selling its infringing oxycodone products at a future date and Purdue Pharma will not pursue damages against Teva for past infringement. The settlement agreement is subject to certain contingencies, including review by the United States antitrust agencies and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.


Purdue stopped selling the generic pills they manufactured to Watson to market and sell. The Watson does not list any generic OxyContin on its product list on its site, only generic percocet. I couldnt find a official statement that they did stop , but judgin by the Watson site, and a couple listings I see that say the status of ABG is DISCONTINUED, its safe to say that there is no more ABG's that are bein manufactured.

So.....To end the question once and for all.....

PURDUE BRAND : STILL AVAILABLE
ABG BRAND : DISCONTINUED
ENDO BRAND : DISCONTINUED
IMPAX BRAND : STILL AVAILABLE, with license to produce limited amounts thru Dava Pharma until at least January 28, 2008, or until it sells its quota, whichever is first.
TEVA BRAND : DISCONTINUED
MALLINCKRODT BRAND : STILL AVAILABLE

Now, dont get confused and think that some of these pills are bein made just because there is still some of the generic G-stamp and ABG stamp pills goin around. since the pharmacies were stocked with these and they take a while to sell out ,some people still have these. but they aint bein made no more, so once these stashes are gone, that is is. Endo pills stayed around til about New Years but I aint seen one since.I hope that can help some people who always got questions about how the whole generic oxycontin lawsuit and result came about. That is all the history that I know on the situation, and its up to date right now. If it changes in the future I will try and update it.

UPDATE; Edited November 27, to include new info on Impax generics thanks to allovers research. see availability chart

op30, you post too much.

All of the fucking Oxycodone pills are "good", it's just some of them have different anti-abuse barriers, and they can still be bypassed in some sense. not for every ROA (such as shooting), but there are ways to make a 'snort-->gel-->wasted-pill' be a 'snort-->notgel-->get-high' pill.

Read the first page of this thread. it's updated. it may not be 100% correct, but if you read the last 2 pages of this thread, you can see that there are people working on it and looking for information.

Why do you think HCL means time release? HCL means hydrochloride, which just means the oxycodone is in salt form. Oxycodone HCL 30mg and Oxycodone Immediate Release 30mg are the same thing. The only version of extended release oxycodone is OxyContin, and if your pills were 30mg, then they would have to be Purdue brand since they are the only brand that produces that dosage. If they do not say OC on them, then they are regular immediate release oxycodone.
 
like i said I was mistaken on the website i was searching it kept coming up and relaying me to a link which implied that it was time release. but you guys were right it was oxy ir I am still not really sure why dident really feel the effects though, I do have a tolerance but my last dose was 4 days ago and even then it was only a 5 mg percocet so it just seemed very odd to not get any rush from a 15mg dose of IR which kinda lead me to think these were not IR. Perhaps it was the allergy medication I had taken earlier that night but who knows
