Competitor news:EGLT The FDA has requested more information regarding the effect of food on OXAYDO 15 mg and the intranasal abuse-deterrent properties of OXAYDO 10 mg and 15 mg. Egalet will work with the FDA to determine the path forward.

OXAYDO is an immediate-release oral formulation of oxycodone HCl indicated for the management of acute and chronic, moderate to severe pain where the use of an opioid analgesic is appropriate. OXAYDO, initially approved in December 2015 in 5 mg and 7.5 mg dosage strengths, is designed to discourage intranasal abuse. Through its novel, patent protected formulation, OXAYDO contains inactive ingredients that may cause nasal burning if manipulated and snorted. There is no evidence that OXAYDO has reduced abuse liability compared to immediate-release oxycodone.
