G 164 is 80mg oxycodone ER (generic Oxycontin), it was made by Impax Labs, their pill colors are different then the rest of the OC mfrs. It is discontinued.

I guarantee G 164 is OC.
Your pill ABG 60 is 60mg controlled release morphine. No, there are no 60mg Oxycontin.

I should correct myself, currently there are no 60mg Oxycontin on the market. Purdue is coming out with 15mg, 30mg, 60mg and possibly 160mg (again) OC in the near future.

Are the 160's OC's illegal in all the states? I also heard perdu sued the generic makers of OC and won? My dr said he didn't have to put " DAW" on the script anymore???? Just wondering?

The 160's weren't illegal, just discontinued, Purdue has listed them available along with the new dosages, they are showing up in the pharmacy's order books. Time will tell if they're dispensed or not.
Your doctor is correct, due to patent infringement litigation only Purdue Frederick can mfr Oxycontin as of Jan 2008. I haven't heard any data whether or not remaining stock of generics are being dispensed.
