Actually no, there is not listing with the U.S. FDA saying that this medication has been discontinued, although two of the strengths of the name brand, the 7.5mg and the 15mg were discontinued as of the Spring of last year.

Does anyone have an actual government information website showing otherwise?

The story in NY is that they have o investigate why the opana got into the excedrin bottles in the first place. Vey where I go they says the ops as no matter what strength are on back order. I don't know how they are going to pump out enough to fill an entire country. My doc changed me to OxyContin 80 and oxycodone 30 for now which I think will be for a long time. I just don't get it why aren't they making them again. The opana Er 40 is the best for pain

I have been told that the opana IR is on back order to be re-formulated. In the meantime, I have nothing for breakthrough pain. Any suggestions as to another drug that's comperable?
