I checked with my pharmacist this morning. What is going off the market is the generic version of Oxycontin, but that was a timed release medication, as opposed to the fast acting (and relatively short-lived) oxycodone, which remains on the market.

Correct. I am sorry I was not clear enough. Looking at the "generic" prescription bottle, it is really marked OXYCODONE ER which, as you said, is a timed-release tablet. It is so common for people (including doctors) to use the terms interchangeably. I guess I also fell into that bad habit.
Thanks for the clarification.
