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.

Oxycodone vs. Oxycontin

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)[reply]
