Ban on Actavis partially lifted - Pain Management Message Board

I just read an article that the ban on Actavis has been partially lifted and that they began making oxycodone, after getting FDA approval last Friday. Hopefully this will help with the supply issue, although I've been lucky these past couple of months.

Not to be stupid but what is Actavis?

I'm pretty sure it's a pharmaceutical company that makes, among other things, generic oxycodone IR. They were recently shut down, and therefore lots of people were having trouble finding oxycodone. So their re-opening would be a very good thing for people on that med (and others they make, though I'm not aware of what those others are off the top of my head). I do take Roxicodone 15mg and have been lucky to never have my supply interrupted, though I allways get the Mallink. generic which everyone hates. It seems to work OK for me, though it's what I've always had and I don't know anything else... Take care. -Liz
