Adderall Manufactured By Teva Not Working (Page 15)
(Newest replies first)

I have had two refills of Adderall 20 mg that was manufactured by Teva/barr (Teva) and it seems to have much less medication in each pill. Refills by another manufacturer work. This is ridiculous, and where do we report Teva and who can check each pill for amount for medication? I would gladly donate some of my worthless ones to the FDA?

Re: Matthew (# 1107)

Yes Lannett

This is why there is a shortage especially at Walgreens is they’re switching from Teva

Do you mean Lannett? I keep looking into this about Teva being taken over by Lannett and I can’t find anything about it, I even work in pharmacy.

If this is true though, God help us. Taking over the last good manufacturer and replacing them with Lannett is such a horrendous concept they might as well be discontinuing Adderall altogether. Ugh.

Something is definitely wrong with this prescription this month. It’s not working at all!! I am so frustrated at this point, this was the one generic that worked and now it where do I turn. Ugh 20 years on the same medication I know when something is off.

Re: k (# 1102)

Reason for shortage :

Increase in demand

100mg/vial, 20mL (NDC 0703-5140-01) - Demand increase for the drug
350mg/vial, 30mL (NDC 0703-5145-01) - Demand increase for the drug

Unless there is some type of clinical or lab result of what your claiming .. you might need to be on another medication

Yes it's just for lab testing. How would that not do anything if you can prove the pills are garbage?

You seem pretty certain of saying they did not break the law. You're giving them a bit too much credit. There's definitely ways through the system, you just need money. Anyways, there's lawsuits against pharma companies all the time. Jesus, just go look on the DOJ website.

And if you have any knowledge of the current situation with adderall shortages, you'd be aware of the fact that switching brands isn't really possible anymore. I'd be willing to bet the little money I do have that these recent batches have under 70% of the active ingredient in them. Teva has broken the law before, and paid out massive amounts of money.

A government agency? That’s not the problem. FDA or DEA isn't the problem. The pharmacy guidelines prohibit the pharmacist from making the choices to select the manufacturer via supplier to support the necessary solution that TEVA provides

Re: Hi (# 1098)

Is the 3K-4K for testing alone? That alone will not do anything. I can assure you 3K-4K is not all that will be charged if the person has a deposition and go to court. I assume they are not a expert in the field of pharmacology. It is best to have a expert witness when you go to court. The other side will have a expert witness. Of course all of this is pretend. Even if a person or group had the money to pay an attorney, court costs, etc . No attorney in their right mind would take the case because they know it would be thrown out of court at the beginning

Re: BlessedLady (# 1095)

That is true. But most of the brands are absolutely horrible.

I honestly feel those who are so negative towards Teva will be saying…
Sure wish we had that one back again.

We will see.

Re: K (# 1093)

The leverage are the consumers.

Teva is the most potent.

The reason it has not been lately is because the generic Adderall produced by Teva will (and is currently being…) produced by a different firm

My pharmacist at Walgreens recently advised me that they are experiencing a national shortage of generic Adderall IR because they are switching from Teva to Levitt

Re: K (# 1093)

Once a prescription leaves a pharmacy. There is no credible evidence it is what the pharmacy actually dispensed. It might look the same and be in the bottle the pharmacy dispensed it in. But legally anything could have happened to it. Even if there were a chain of evidence. The cost of hiring a expert to test it and to testify in court is thousands, possibly tens of thousands of dollars. Not to mention the cost of paying a attorney, court costs, etc

Like it or not, the pharmaceutical companies did not break the law nor has the FDA. Plus you cannot sucessfully sue and get a judgement against a government agency. If you do not like the brand of medication you receive. You are free to change to another brand.

Maybe we should all pool our money, hire a chemist, have tests run on all our s****y scripts. Then hire a lawyer and sue the s*** out of teva, elite, and the FDA for fraud, negligence, and reckless endangerment. Or whatever charges said lawyers see fit.

Seriously, it's gonna have to be civilian legal action. The FDA isn’t gonna do s***. They’re part of the criminal system that enables big pharma to be drug dealers who cut their products.

I have noticed something usual with the tablets this time.

On some of the tables the -30- is upside down in relation to the other side/

Must have been a manufacturing mistake

I heard, also, that Walgreens will no longer be contracting with TEVA
as it relates to Adderall.

The pharmacy cannot take them back and refund your money. The FDA nor any other government agency is going to test the tablets.

I am having the exact same problem, it's horrible. They don't work and are so different than ever before. There is basically a reverse effect, can't focus, tired and unmotivated. It's effecting my job. Not sure if there is even anything that can be done now that I picked them up and tried them.
