Amneal Pharmaceuticals Hydrocodone 10-325 (Page 11)

I have been taking hydrocodone 10-325 (made by Watson) for about a year. I picked up my prescription yesterday and instead of the normal yellow pill, I received a white oblong pill imprinted with m367 on it. I took 2 for breakthrough pain and had no relief what-so-ever. I called the pharmacy and was told that they will no longer be able to get the med from Watson. Does anyone know what has happened? I have chronic pain, and these white ones from Amneal Pharmaceuticals is not going to cut it. Has anyone else experienced this?

I’m so sorry! The government has gotten involved in our healthcare, where they have no business being. It’s unbelievable what they have done to the doctors. They’ve made them afraid of losing their medical licenses if they prescribe too much pain medication, even though a lot of people desperately need it. Prayers for pain relief!

I totally agree! And I researched what you have stated in your post before I read yours, and it was even difficult to find this information. We are being cheated but paying the same amount and getting no pain relief. More profit for BIG PHARMA!????
And members of congress and the FDA are all in cahoots with them and taking big payoffs. It’s unconscionable!

This is because those in fda are hired by big pharma when they leave their cushy fda job .... so if they do their 20yrs they get full pension (so they start at 23 & retire at 43 [must be nice] then go work for a big pharma upper office) so they double dip getting their thousands of taxpayer dollars from pension then get a 6 figure income from big pharma & then get another pension when they retire AGAIN (if 65 they now have 20 years in again in private sector [thus now they can get more tax payer dollars from social security] again now triple dipping) their fda pension their big pharma pension & social security ..... & there are those that say well they earned it & yes that's true BUT these are the things that cost elderly & poor to need to decide between food or meds ..... I ask WHY just because you work for government should you get a pension for working only 20 years that is BS when the government is over 25 trillion dollars in debt .... if in private sector they would be out of business or at very least down sizing but the govt keeps hiring more bureaucrats... I can understand sorta military at 20 years but why cant they be moved to logistics or management to finish out their careers.... it seems they take better care of officer that retire than combat vets that those same officers sent those combat vets into harmsway too be mammed or murdered (& if murdered the family is all but forgotten after the first year or so ...... wow I got a bit off topic sorry but did I really be well

Amneal is pure garbage!! It’s made in India and who knows what type of s*** they are putting in it. Tell your doctor and tell them you want another prescription. Make sure the pharmacy you use is not pushing the Amneal garbage. I had my own bad episode with it.

Re: ThunderHeart (# 204)

Hi! Thanks for sharing! Can you tell me of your bad episode so we can “compare notes…” YES for sure AMNEAL is garbage. CVS has been dispensing this generic brand of AMNEAL’s generic of Percocet 10/325 for month’s now with no substitution’s offered. Their answer is basically ie; “Too bad, you take what we give you!” Basically, “we don’t care; take it or leave it!”
Yes, we all know it’s all about BIG PHARMA profit margins, etc. But I’ve come to realize the fact that legitimate CPP’s (Chronic Pain Patients) are a piece of the government’s depopulation pie.

They are literally the same exact medicine same ingredients just different manufacturer. Your mind is telling you they don't work and your body believes you. It's true ask anyone you have to believe either they are better or the same . Your mind is a powerful piece of you that runs your entire system!! However, you run your mind if that makes sense and when it does your life will change for the better!!

Re: Dano (# 2)

You should try other pain options it sounds like you already are forming a habit sadly.....I feel for you I've struggled my entire life with substance abuse issues and I sounded just like you when something didn't go my way. Please seek help anyone like the pharmacy is going to look at you like you are a drug seeker especially if you call the manufacturer and your doctor might cut you cold turkey so he/she won't be enabling the issue.

You need to get off of the pain meds Miss Melanie and try some other options sadly your liver and stomach have to be toast by now and any doctor that cares about society and their patients would red flag and ween you right away and look for better options.

Re: Jb (# 210)

Do you have any studies of your statement? I know people who have been taking the those medications 18+ years for chronic pain and have nothing wrong systemic, liver, kidneys or stomach. But they have had better life quality and minimal Dr office visits until the medications were changed about 7-8 years ago. I have proof of massive debt by hospitals and Dr. offices.

Qualitest was most likely ordered to reformulate them and the company refused rather than cause suffering to the seniors that have worked so hard to make the country great. I like the 30 million seniors only took these medications to be able to participate in the economy instead of being withdrawn from chronic pain. If we all stop paying our Part D premiums to send a message they will have a round table discussion to bring back the old formula. Good luck everyone, don't get angry it doesn't help anything.

Re: Jb (# 209)

I can vouch that's the truth and I went through this last month when I was on vacation. I had to use 2 diffrent pharmacies both carried a diffrent brand and the pharmacy upstate gave me a crap generic and when I had it filled at home when I got back the brand they use at my pharmacy was noticeably better. Each company is using different fillers and I think there may be possibility something in that could be why. I'm not someone who uses them on a regular basis but I have MS and had a few bad falls because I'm in a flair.
I can remember when vicodine came out, I wish it would have been out back when I cut my fingers off. I know pain REAL PAIN, YOU CAN'T SEE IT, AND NOBODY BUT THE PERSON IN PAIN FEELS IT, SO STOP JUDGING SOMEONE OVER YOUR BAD CHOICES WITH DRUGS ITS NOT COOL ESPECIALLY ON A PAGE THAT IS HERE TO HELP ESPLAIN THE DIFFRENT ISSUES!

I wish I didn't have to use CVS but my Medicare insurance has given them the monopoly and then force us to go there to get the full discount! It's wrong and the government allows this and Biden went and signed a contract for "CHEAPER DRUGS" and that's why they are getting worse! We get very few choices on Medicare and NAME BRANDS is NOT one of them and it's discrimination we should have a choice! Back when Watson made them they worked and worked in the system for about 8 hours, now they perscribe 2 every 4 to 6 hours cause they know it's garbage!

Time for us to all write everyone in congress, the FDA and social security medicare/medicaid and every insurance company and president biden insisting they stop buying our pharmaceuticals out of the country. It needs to be made in the USA only if our government is covering it! Their practices are un-american and have gone on far far too long!!!

Re: olddog (# 212)

Qualitest sold their hydrocodone division to par industries... Par kept Alabama facility open a year or so (probably to use up inventory & fill contract) & been closed now about 5 years or so... Par facility is in NY. Par kept their pre-Qualitest formula (I think). They discontinued the Qualitest formula.

Hope this helps.
