Hydrocodone-acetaminophen 10/325 By Mallinckrodt (Page 4)

My pharmacy changed my meds from the yellow 10-325 v 3601 norco to the 10-325 white m367 mallinckrodt. I've been taking the yellows for years with no problems. Today I started the whites and feeling dizzy, a little weak, kind of panicky. What is different about the two meds that would cause this?

I agree with you! This is a bunch of s***! I'm having the same problem! The Amneal is worse! Stay away from it! It's pure s*** made in India! All the generics are now garbage! I don't like having my pain meds messed with!

Re: mr pissed off (# 59)

This brand should be illegal. It is poison. I tried & accepted it only because my pharmacy ran out of my original script of Vicodin & gave me this generic. I took only a 1/2 & I was severely nauseous and had really bad sharp stomach pains & breathing problems. I brought it back to the pharmacy & told them to take this poison back. It almost put me in the hospital, that's how bad it was. This should not have been FDA approved. Stay away from this company brand!! Oh & it did absolutely nothing for the pain. Zero...zippo!!

I have noticed this too. I dont like it. I was on Qualitest for years and that worked the best. I dont like having my pain medicine messed with. This stinks.

Mallinckrodt and Amneal are both garbage!! I've had such bad reactions to both. I had to change pharmacies to get away from this filth the say are painkillers! They both made me sick!! Watson and Qualitest NEVER made me sick. Obviously the fluctuations are not slight! I know my body well enough to know that the fillers used by these 2 companies are rot!! I will NEVER take either again. No company should be allowed to play with pain medicine! I'm tired of this s***! It's my life they are messing with. They don't feel my pain!

I have to disagree, NOT about Amneal, but about Mallinckrodt. Yes, there are some people who find that the tablet mix causes a change in bioavailability, but on the whole, they make the finest generic opioids in the USA. M367 is a superb hydrocodone/acetaminophen. I agree that Qualitest '36 01' are the best but for the price, you can't beat Mallinckrodt.

Re: RhoRhoRho (# 3)

Same here! I called Watson + Actavis (Teva) & Amneal. I have to send Amneal a sample, etc. Also check out the new digital pill- FDA approved, on 1/12/2018, Dr. Oz show, Google it & watch the video!! Wow!?

Re: Kimber (# 65)

I hear you!! FDA allows up to 20% ingredient fluctuation in meds! For some of us, our bodies are very sensitive!! To me, this is a lot!! All manufacturers have different formulas & fillers!! I will pursue this through all avenues, this will take time!! I will try to get detailed info & post when I get it!!! If everyone will ask questions, make phone calls, emails, etc, maybe it will go faster! I know I can't stand to be immobile from this pain, especially in this extremely cold weather this year!

If you have Medicaid. It has to do with the drugs that cost Medicaid the least. Medicaid negotiates for the lowest prices from drug companies.

Re: Lynn (# 68)

Hey Lynn I am with you! It seems like a lot of pharmacies are going to this Amneal garbage. I hate it! I can definitely tell this medicine is crap!! It does not get rid of my back pain like the Qualitest did. I don't like the games that are being played between pharmacies and drug manufacturers! I DONT WANT GENERIC!! It is s***!

Re: Kimber (# 71)

Qualitest is a generic. Just like Amneal. Brand medications are so expensive Insurance companies will not pay for them unless there is no generic. Or the doctor has written on the prescription it has to be filled with Brand Name. Prior Authorizations are usually required for Brand Name medications. Which means more paper work for the doctor.Patients that pay cash cannot afford Brand Name medications.

Re: Lynn (# 68)

Hey Lynn. I would take the pill to be tested to a place that IS NOT affiliated with Amneal. They will cover it up. Every time I've called there I get transferred to someone who barely speaks english. I opened a case with them awhile back. I got a letter back saying there is nothing with the pill that is not in compliance with regulations. I say bullcrap!! They are in it for the money!! They dont care about people suffering from pain!! Their price is the lowest so it's clear they are chiselling out the amount of medicine in the pills. They want all the pharmacies to buy this garbage so they lower the price along with the amount of medicine in the pills. I'm on to their underhanded ways!! I will not go to a pharmacy that dispenses this crap!! Walgreens is dispensing this crap now. Goodbye Walgreens!!

Re: Lynn (# 75)

Stay away from the Amneal. Their 10/325 is horrible and causes side affects.

Re: RhoRhoRho (# 3)

I found out the same as you!! Watson sold their generics to Teva, at least that is what I was told by Watson. Teva said probably won't change Watson's formula, because it's too expensive to change it!! I'm going hollistic. Amneal made me so so very sick!! Almost had to go to ER!! Then I did a home remedy and I'm still sick, but better! Good luck all!!!

Re: blankfrank (# 11)

I agree with you. I had the same problem with Mallinckrodt. I was so sick I was throwing up. I have been on Hydrocodone for years and never had such agony. What was worse they made me shake agitated and just plain miserable. With all the side affects it seemed to make my pain feel worse. I am a single mom of 3 and take care of a disabled father. I never thought that I would have to compromise my life over medication. I had an appointment with a physiatrist and off course was sick taking this medication. He labeled me a major maniac depressant. Now my MD won’t refill my prescriptions. I moved and had to start with new Drs. My family and I were exposed to toxic black Mold for 5 years. It was so bad that our air test was deemed condemned. It was no wonder we all were so sick. That alone had severe consequences and added to my pain. I also have ADHD. I picked up my meds yesterday and had no idea the pharmacy went to Mallinckrodt for those too. Now, I’m just plain mad this company can now manufacturer this medication too. I feel the pharmacy should warn you before you fill your script that they changed manufacturers if you give them your business. I am on state ins. because my ex doesn’t pay the required ins. so I have had to turn to the state. I wonder sometimes if this is why I get the worst medication on the planet. Now I have to go to pain management which is in this day and age guilty to proven innocent. I come from the days you could talk frank with your MD and they listened and helped. Since my amazing Dr retired in 2014 I have become a seeker because I don’t want to be sick and in pain. I have 4 severely damaged discs with bone spurs that have affected my spine. I am out of patience. Pain management wants me to do physical therapy. Great make sure I get the medication that works and I will do what is ordered.

Re: RhoRhoRho (# 3)

I finally got the mallinckrodt at Kroger pharmacy (Georgia). Anneal is crap, made me very sick & I took them anyway because I couldn't do anything else! Now this is what blew my mind. My drug panel came back with a false reading for a drug I know very little about - oxycodone (I have since researched this med). Now the Walgreens I was using had all new people, so I don't know which company screwed up? But one of them did!!! I have talked to 3 other people all day. They also showed false readings for something they were not prescribed!!! IS THE OPIOID WAR THIS BAD? If so we need some investigations done!!! I am a responsible mature (55 y/o) patient & very careful with any of my meds! In fact I had my doctor cut my hydros back & going with holistic, vitamin supplements & non-narcotics! Please, I need to know how many of us are being hurt by this??? It's not just horrible, it's horrendous!!! Thx!!!
