Will the old OxyContin remain on the market?
So Purdue Pharma has reformulated OxyContin to make it harder to abuse. My question is: Will the old formulation remain on the market, or will it be completely replaced and superseded? If it does remain on the shelves alongside the new formulation, what will the difference in the names be?
Please cite your source if you try to answer this question, because I have done a fair amount of research and I still haven't found the answer. I think it is possible that Purdue hasn't decided yet, or they haven't announced their plan yet. They are just trying to get lots of good press at this point, without disclosing any specifics.
I am especially suspicious because I have found very few physical details about the reformulated pills, and I have never seen a picture. What exactly did they change? The details about these pills clearly exist, but they are not being shared with the press.
