Methylphenidate Hydrochloride Extended Release Tablets made by Actavis

[Irish10]

I’m curious if Methylphenidate Hydrochloride Extended Release tablets made by Actavis is the exact same formula as Concerta. I know Concerta has a delivery system called OROS (Osmotic [Controlled] Release Oral [Delivery] System). Does Actavis have the same delivery system as Concerta (OROS)?

@Irish10, the FDA has ruled that the Actavis version is the only generic equivalent to Concerta. The Mallinckrodt and Kudco versions are not.
