Mallinckrodt Hydromorphone Alternatives

I get sick on the hydromorphone made by Mallinckrodt. Can anyone recommend a different and better manufacturer?

REPORT

Any except Arobindo brands. I have received Mallinckrodt Adderall that were so weak I had to double the dose to get it to work. And I usually take half the recommended dose of other brands. Aurobindo is the only manufacturer that I have found that’s worse than Mallinckrodt. Something in those meds makes me physically ill.

All generic meds have fillers. That’s probably the reason you get “sick”. You should try taking your med with a meal, A small meal would suffice.

Nausea, and dizziness can be side effects of narcotic analgesics, such as Hydromorphone, so there is also a chance that it just isn't the right medication for you. Other side effects may include dry mouth, and headache, they also carry the risk of being habit forming.

Alternatively, you may also need something to help prevent some of the side effects, if they Hydromorphone works well for you for pain relief.

Have you discussed the issue with your doctor?
