Editing out information that is no longer on the internet.

Be careful with the new OP version. I just received an email alert with a copy of a Purdue warning:
Quote:
Since introducing reformulated OxyContin to the market on August 9, 2010, Purdue
has received reports that some patients are encountering difficulties with swallowing
the reformulated tablet. Purdue encourages you to counsel your patients on appropriately taking this medication and to remind them that:

* OxyContin Tablets should be taken one tablet at a time, with enough water to
ensure complete swallowing immediately after placing in the mouth
* Multiple tablets should not be swallowed together
* Tablets should not be dampened, soaked, licked, or otherwise wet prior to
placing them in the mouth for immediate swallowing
There are going to be many adjustments to the new form, it appears. We'll have to see with time if this form stays on the market, even!
