Adderall Manufactured By Teva Not Working (Page 66)

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?

Incorrect. Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate is the active ingredient in Vyvanse. Vyvanse does not have a generic available.

LOL ROTF!
THIS IS THE MOST ADD THREAD EVER. NOBODY SEEMS TO BE PAYING ATTENTION.

blessedlady never said Vyvanse was available in generic. Read her post. It was correct. She was simply saying what the active ingredient was. That's it. So you're assumption was incorrect.

This all started because someone said Adderall was made by a company called Vyvanse, which is absurd. No such "manufacturer". exists.

This entire thread should be deleted. .it's a disaster. Imo.

"Vyvanse is the brand name of the drug. Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate the generic name for Vyvance."

I'm definitely ADHD...no denying that. So please forgive me if I'm wrong, but did she not say in the above quote that the active ingredients are the "generic name" for Vyvanse? ??

"While drugs may have different brand names, the generic name describes the active ingredient of the drug and this is a way to identify the type of drug."

"A generic drug is a medication created to be the same as an already marketed brand-name drug in dosage form, safety, strength, route of administration, quality, performance characteristics, and intended use."

She said name. Not drug.

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.

You're a butcher.

"... there is NOT a generic DRUG VERSION for Vyvanse available In the US as of July 2022 and the original patent has not expired. "
Is More precise.

It all started because you and blessedlady got on a side tangent and you needed to be a smarty pants to her post

Everywhere on Medschat people are saying nothing works.. maybe Lannett. But everyone is dissatisfied with every brand.

A CMO is a chemical manufacturing organization. Many generic manufacturers get their active ingredient from a CMO. So it's like buying oregano thinking it's cannabis... Perhaps the active ingredients being supplied are all crap.

Very likely true.
But I don't understand why there is no oversight for the CMO

Please report to the FDA ASAP.

If you have noticed decreased efficacy or adverse affects, I URGE you to report it to the FDA ASAP. We can't get these pharmaceutical companies to stop messing with our meds if we keep our heads down and keep the conversation among the general population - we need to make some noise!

"Voluntary reports are essential for ensuring the continued safety of FDA-regulated products. One or two well documented case reports may provide an early signal of unexpected problems and lead to additional evaluation. This may result in FDA regulatory actions that improve the safety of the products used in patient care each day."

This is the link to report adverse side effects:

Re: Dora (# 1312)

what many do not realize is that a generic can be and i forgot the actual range but if i remember correctly it was up to 10% more active ingredient and up to 15% less active ingredient from the actual brand name. there is a range that generics can be off from the brand name. then on top of that range factor in the inactive ingredients can have different reactions with the active ingredients and you have a recipe for a wide range of effects.

Hey, I am having the same problem as well as a lot of others that I’ve seen doing a google search. I think it’s a big problem and something is going wrong at the manufacturer by chance. I switched to another manufacturer and BAM, the medication started working again. I have NO doubt that there is 100% something wrong with the Adderall generic, DextroAmphetamine Salt Combo, made by TEVA.

I had issues with the 15MG, while a friend had issues with the 30MG. And I see you are having issues with the 20MG. There is something wrong with their formula that needs investigation because my life has been compromised since this started (in April for me).

Will you be willing to work together to get this issue fixed? Look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks!!

Re: Cyr (# 1310)

Still should be reported and looked into/investigated to fix the issue. The company TEVA should have their formula checked and then figure out the problem from there. Could be the ‘CMO’ as you say which is likely true (or TEVA isn’t using enough of it). Either way, that doesn’t change the fact that TEVA pills are not working while other companies are.

Re: Bub (# 1287)

You know what I think? I think they started running low of the active ingredient around March/April so they started putting less in each pill to make it last and they finally ran out and now we can’t get any from TEVA…
Makes all sense to me since April is when I started having problems and now they have supply issues……

If your ndc number at the end of your Teva brand adderall is 02 then it’s generic, if it’s 01 it’s the name brand adderall. The exact same as it always was.
