On April 5, 2010, Purdue Pharma and the FDA announced the approval of a new formulation of OxyContin (controlled-release oxycodone) oral tablets. Purdue elected to change the drug in an effort to make the tablet more difficult to manipulate for the purpose of intentional misuse and abuse. The reformulated OxyContin is supposed to prevent the medication from being cut, broken, chewed, crushed, or dissolved to release more medication.
