Any substitutable 11 opioid drug product shall contain the same opioid active pharmaceutical 12 ingredient and the same drug release characteristics with regard to 13 immediate release, or extended release long acting properties. A deter- 14 mination of interchangeability between two abuse-deterrent opioid anal- 15 gesic drug products shall not require that both products incorporate the 16 same methods of abuse-deterrence, but that the opioid drug products have 17 the same level of FDA-approved abuse deterrence labeling claims. 18 2.
