That sounds very much like the reformulated Oxycontin OP dispensed in the US. It took the addicts all of about a week to figure out how to circumvent the reformulation. Addicts will always find a way to circumvent, or substitute, or find another source or drug of choice. Pain patients usually have fewer choices/alternatives. They will have to pay more for higher doses of less therapeutic medications.

I'm curious how this timing relates to Canadian patent expiration dates.
