I am taking Teva they tell me but it says Tevau on bottle. They are 80 mg. They don't work that well at all compared to Brand. They are supposed to last 12 hr. but last between 5 1/2 and 6 hours. And it takes about 3 hours to feel any slight relief. The other choice where I go (Sav-On) is a generic named 'Dava' which I never heard of and have a hard time finding anything about it on the Web. The Dava brand is even worse.
Through personal experience and comments on the Internet my conclusion is this: In my opinion NONE of the Oxycontin generics work anywhere near as well as the Brand name, with the exception of the ones made by Watson. But in my area no one carries Watson.

I don't know how the FDA lets these companies make generics which last half the time they are supposed to and are only about 65% as effective as Brand (Purdue). Though my experience could be somewhat subjective; there are literally several hundreds of complaints on the net corroborating what I am saying. If I had the money I'd have a lab check to see how much of the active ingredient is actually in my Teva pills. OH, and I have heard that the FDA allows these drug companies 20% leeway with regard to active ingredient content. Logic dictates that these profit hungry companies making generics would automatically only use 80% of the active ingredient as a matter of standard procedure, when they can do so legally. And they may not stop there.
