Roxane Labs or Xanodyne?
The page lists Roxane Laboratories as the distributor of Roxicodone in the U.S. However, http://www.xanodyne.com/products-other.asp would indicate that this trademark would belong to Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals. I visited Roxane Labs' site and they don't seem to mention anything about Roxicodone.
an import ref, but not in wiki
In 2007, the profits were just a few billion.[1] As of July 2016, more than $31 billion from OxyContin, the nation's bestselling painkiller.[2][3][4]
The OxyContin profits have added the family to the Forbes: The $14 Billion Newcomer to Forbes 2015 List of Richest U.S. Families[5] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.218.11.176 (talk • contribs) Template:Reflist talk
Oxycodone vs. Oxycontin
Does this page distinguish between Oxycodone and Oxycontin? Addison Q. Maddison (talk) 15:20, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
- Oxycontin is a brand name. That's a bit like asking if you distinguish between Kleenex and 'facial tissue'. MrOllie (talk) 15:24, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
- No, there is a difference. Oxycontin (the version of oxycodone that got Purdue into a mess) is a TIME-RELEASE version of oxycodone.

- I have tried to edit to more clearly distinguish and explain the relationship. Daphne Morrow (talk) 02:45, 8 June 2025 (UTC)
- Well done, Daphne. Maybe make your own editor page? Mine is minimal, because as a retired technical editor, 99%+ of mine are simple typo or grammatical corrections. Addison Q. Maddison (talk) 03:21, 8 June 2025 (UTC)

Again, stop reverting reference improvement
...for the umpteenth time. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Whywhenwhohow#Please_stop_vandalizing_reference_improvement RememberOrwell (talk) 07:16, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
- Despite attempt above and the one linked to above, the edit warring by Whywhenwhohow continues, refusal do discuss on talk pages continues.
- Previous false claim as basis for revert was that https://www.rxlist.com/oxycontin-drug.htm was 10 years old, yet it is marked "Last updated on RxList: 1/10/2024". Not 10 years old.
- Rehashed claim is that the FDA label info at rxlist is not MEDRS; this is used in edit summary as basis for revert. Yet the user adds FDA labels as basis for content themselves. Seems to be wp:gaming to me. Even reverting reference tag addition for the umpteenth time, which is certainly not constructive. RememberOrwell (talk) 01:52, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
