Last night I got the latest refill of my oxycodone. I go to a small, neighborhood pharmacy where the druggists know me and are very familiar with my conditions and other prescriptions.

Anyway, the pharmacist told me that the script for 60 tabs was filled with 57 generic oxycodone and 3 Oxycontin (all at generic price) because that is the end of his oxycodone supply. He said that at one time there were three companies making the generic and eventually two all gave it up for various reasons. The last generic company was just purchased by Purdue Pharma, the maker of Oxycontin. He claims that the name brand Oxycontin will be the only one available from now on, because Perdue Pharma is dropping the generic for obvious reasons.

I have had the Oxycontin in the past, and it is EXPEN$IVE!

Has anyone else heard this?
