Mallinckrodt Vicodines
(Newest replies first)

I have been taking hydrocodone manufactured by Mallinckrodt for years, I recently renewed my rx and they gave me hydrocodone manufactured by Watson, I found these do NOT work as well. I called the pharmacy and they told Mallinckrodt discontinued producing hydrocodone. Is this true? If so does anybody know of a manufacturer that is equivalent to Mallinckrodt?

REPORT

they quit making vicoden because of the high amount of acetaminophen 600 and something. narco has the same amount of pain releiver but the amount of acetaminophen is in the 300's. therefore making it safer for your liver. i find that the yellow oval tabs are better than white. i take the 10's. the white ones work weaker on me and make me sick. i fell narco works better, i dont worry about my liver. i heard this will become nationwide with the high amount of aceaminophen. i dont know why they put it in there in the first place, cause you can just but it over the counter if you need it.

I take 7.5/750. Does that mean as of 2014 I will have to get a new rx due to the gov't thinking they're doctors? This new regulation doesn't make any sense to me considering you can buy all the Tylenol you want OTC

The FDA issued a request this year that the amount of Acetaminophen in all of these combination prescription products be lowered to no more than 325mgs per dose, to mitigate the risk of liver damage or failure that can be associated with long-term use of high amounts, as well as the risk of overdose.

Some manufacturers are just changing theirs to contain the lower amounts of Acetaminophen, but some such as Mallinckrodt are just no longer manufacturing it, at all.

Sam104, what dosage do you take?

Hi I have been taking vicodin For a long time.but from different manufacturers.
And recently I got some a couple of days
Ago,and it was generic for lortab.it is called norco.and it said generic for lortab.I don't know Who the manufactor is. But it is stronger.and only 325 mg.of tylenol. I take 7.5.I don't know what you take but it is stronger I guess bc it has less tylenol. You could research it and see.or just research the brand you were talking about.I hope this helped somehow. Thank you.
