Generic OxyContin would have cost 25 per cent of the price for the brand-name product, according to Tam. Consumers must spend $251.85 for 100 40-milligram tablets of OxyNEO and $442.84 for 100 80-milligram tablets. The price was the same for OxyContin.
Oxycontin extended release is about twice as strong as morphine extended release tablets. The medical literature says the ration is 2:1 oxy to morphine.
