Adderall Manufactured By Teva Not Working (Page 48) (Top voted 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: RJ (# 1241)

Did you check the date for that information, because at one time that was true. Don't know what else to tell you about it.

Re: John (# 1270)

Incorrect, idk why these rumors are being started! Lannett Adderall have been around for a little over 3 years. Teva has been having shortage in most areas although some are actually still finding them. Don't start rumors!! Lannett are pretty smooth as well so don't automatically knock em'. Far step up from Auros,hello

Lannett is actually very surprisingly smooth, to be honest it's absolutely the best I've come across since the old school Sandoz, years ago. It's still better than Aurobindo though and the other couple that start with an "A". All I've come across here lately since Teva disappeared here locally. People are starting rumors that Lannett bought Teva, very much a rumor. Best of luck. We're in for much worse unfortunately. You have to be extremely proactive and fight for your meds, and you still might be screwed, smh.

It's the fillers that are used that are different from one to another. They have 20% wiggle room on the ingredients. Unfortunately there are some really horrible companies out and I can't figure out how they get these through the FDA. Anyway tho, do some research, you'll see why certain manufacturers are different than others. Start with Aurobindo and compare to Lannett or Sandoz even..

Re: Optimistic (# 1278)

What area do u live in? Bc teva is really only sold at walgreens around Dallas area and they have been out. It's the only generic brand that actually works for ADD/ADHD. I was told by 1 pharmacists that is was on backorder & they won't be able to order it again until October. Ridiculous.

Vyvanse
Lisdexamfetamine is the International Nonproprietary Name (INN) and is a contraction of L-lysine-dextroamphetamine.

Re: Cyr (# 1305)

You're correct. I was not referring to the INN in my comments. The INN which you referred to correctly as Lisdexamfetamine is the active pharmaceutical substance/ingredient in Vyvanse. In the United States Vyvanse is the trademark/brand name for lisdexamfetamine. Vyvanse is the common name used by prescribers and consumers when referrng to both brand & generic medication availability of Lisdexamfetamine. The active pharmaceutical ingredient/drug of a medication is not used by the FDA, describers or consumers. In lamens terms there is NOT a generic for Vyvanse available In the US as of July 2022 and the original patent has not expired. Hopeful I did not butcher my explanation so badly that it prevents another poster on this topic from catching on.

Investigative journalism exposing a cover up, and class action law suits with billions $ in settlement fees are historically the only avenues to seek accountability in big pharma. This is old news, it's been happening for decades, the FDA cannot and will not enforce a zero fraud tolerance policy effectively; Congress won't touch it because big pharma puts candidates into office. It's always about $$$. Expose fraud, lawyers sue, they settle, lawyers get rich, the drug company still comes out ahead, consumers are screwed. Old story.

Adderall Supply Delays Likely to Continue for 2-3 Months, Teva Says

- FDA is now listing ADHD drug in shortage on its website
- At least seven companies experiencing supply challenges

https:/­/­www.bloomberg.com/­news/­articles/­2022-10-07/­teva-expects-adderall-supply-delays-to-continue-for-2-3-months

The drug has been in short supply since at least August, an issue that started this summer with a labor shortage at Teva, which supplies more Adderall in the US than any other company. Teva sells both the branded and generic products, and demand for the drug is at an all-time high.

Yes, I have the exact same experience with a refill from the beginning of December. I told my doctor, not that they can do anything.

Basic u/a tox screens only shows the presence of a drug. A decreased amount of active ingredient would not show up on a standard u/a tox screen.

Yes! Totally agree. I have seen a push for cannabis and ketamine and all the while decrease in manufacturing of actual medicine that had been proven to work or lack of quality there in

It is nice you have all the money it takes to file this suit. Although a court probably will not accept it because it is legally baseless. Attorneys only take cases they know they can win. No attorney is going to take this case and not require you to pay for it.

Oh that’s so interesting I recently got a refill that was half Teva half Sanoz. Teva always work best for me so I haven’t tried the other ones yet, but they seem totally fine to me. If you think the Teva are weak I would definitely stay away from the Epic. I don’t think there’s any Adderall in the Epic Adderall.

But you have to go on the FDA webpage and look for FDA medwatch and then report it. It actually helps. I’ve been reporting Aurobindo Adderall for a couple years and they finally discontinued making the bunk pills.

You can also call the pharmacy you received them from, they can’t do anything but they should know, especially if other people are saying the same thing.

Sweet, if you actually find an attorney who will open a class action lawsuit make sure you come back here and let us know so we can all sign on.

Doctors aren’t over prescribing this medication, that’s not happening. What’s happening is a whole bunch of people got long Covid from unchecked virus spread and they’re having some serious fatigue issues. Plus people keep breeding mindlessly so every day there are more children who potentially could be diagnosed.

The problem comes from the government only allowing these manufacturers to have a certain amount of active ingredient every year and the DEA is constantly trying to reduce that even though more people are on these prescriptions every year because there are more of us.

Please pay attention and whenever you see one of those online petitions going around talking about how the FDA or DEA wants to reduce the allotment of active ingredient, hop on the government website and leave a comment. Nobody wants to do anything to help the situation they just want to come here and complain about it. I hope you find a class action lawyer who will take this but I’m not sure who you plan to sue.

It’s important to understand that generic medication can legally vary up to 20% from the name brand, it’s totally legal for them to make them 20% weaker than the regular medication. Of course they can also legally be up to 20% stronger but I’m not sure that that’s happening ever. These are guidelines set by our government, please be sure you understand the Republicans who are anti-regulation would prefer there be no regulations about how much active ingredient can be in a medication. I suppose we are lucky they have to be at least within 20% in strength, but keep voting for Republicans and it’s only going to get worse.

Re: Rcma (# 1330)

I think it’s important for you to know that generic medication can legally be 20% weaker or stronger than the name brand. They can legally make them weaker and it’s fine. And a UA won’t show that it will just show that you have Adderall in your system.

That’s amazing that you find TEVA 20 MG so easily . Pharmacy supplies are scarce for the best manufacturer, Teva . The other manufacturers (sun,Abidino,Nortis , and a new generic out of NJ) contain as little as 2 mg of active ingredient per 10 mg

Re: BlessedLady (# 1378)

This is partially correct, however, Richwood Pharmaceuticals, of Florence, KY USA purchased the rights from Rexar Inc, (NY) technically manufactured the original formulation from the 1960's until, 1994/1995. Thus, the marketing name was successfully changed from "Obetrol" to "Adderall" (IR version). By 2001/2002 years forward Shire Richwood Inc d/b/a ShireUS Inc. "successfully" were the correct manufacturer addy (Florence KY). Thank you. Sources: PDR (1968) + PDR Generics (1995) + PDR (2002).

P.S. Rexar Pharmacel Corp. technically mfg "Obetrol" 10 mg & 20 mg tabs, both I.R., d/b/a "Obetrol Pharmaceuticals" 382 Schenck Ave, Brooklyn NY 11207. Exact same formulation as Adderall I/R.
