Whats going on? I would like to find out more about this.

I have a son getting married and I cannot peruse the boards as often as I would like.

Can someone share what they have heard? This my pain medication, although not these brands.

I just wanted to let everyone who takes oxycontin to know that Endo & Teva Pharmacuticals have agreed to stop selling their extended release version of oxycontin. this is based in part to a lawsuit that Purdue Pharma filed. Endo will stop sales by December 31st and Teva has agreed to at some later date which has yet to be determined.

This news is a bit dated
From Purdue regarding Endo: http://**********a.com/pressroom/news/20060828-1.htm

"According to the agreement, Endo will stop selling infringing versions of OxyContin by the end of 2006. In exchange, Purdue Pharma will not pursue damages against Endo for Endo's past infringement of its OxyContin patents."



From Purdue regarding Teva: http://**********a.com/pressroom/news/20060829.htm

"Teva will cease selling its infringing oxycodone products at a future date and Purdue Pharma will not pursue damages against Teva for past infringement."

The article goes on to say;

"We are pleased that Teva will respect our invention of an important medicine. I believe we would have prevailed in our lawsuit and the court eventually would have ordered Teva to stop selling its infringing product."


*Quahog, please don't be angry with me for posting this, I want to help someone who doesn't have much time to look around for medical articles and would appreciate the information you've posted. I appreciate you being in the CP forum, help us rebuild BT. It's not cliqueish as far as I know and I go back a good many years, just not in the CP forum. I frequented the autism support forum. Only this year have I begun posting in here so I don't know most of the people but they've all been nothing but nice.* :)
