There is a national shortage of oxycodone pills due to recalls by several different companies and the other companies are trying to pick up the slack. Here are the following manufacturers and what they are doing:
Mallinckrodt continues to work diligently to meet the market need during this temporary period of limited supply.
Xanodyne is releasing product as it becomes available.
Vintage Pharmaceuticals is releasing product as it becomes available.
The shortage may continue until may/june of this year so you may want to have your doctor switch you to liquid oxycodone as a substitute.
