`Statement Regarding Suspension of 160 mg OxyContin®
`Tablets
`
`
`
`Stamford, CT – May 11, 2001 - Purdue Pharma introduced the 160 mg strength
`OxyContin® tablets to help patients suffering from the most severe, persistent pain.
`However, recent media attention has made more people aware of the abuse potential
`of opioid analgesics. Even though there have been few reports of diversion of the
`160 mg tablets, Purdue is concerned about the possibility of illicit use of tablets of
`such high strength.
`
`
`Therefore, we have decided to temporarily suspend shipment of the 160 mg tablets –
`at least until we have studied this issue further. This is voluntary action on Purdue’s
`part. While we regret that our action may burden some patients, we believe strongly
`that on balance our action is the right thing to do.
`
`
`Purdue is working to ensure that patients with legitimate medical need continue to
`have access to OxyContin® tablets, and we remain committed to helping educate the
`medical community about its appropriate use.
