Mallinckrodt Vs Qualitest Norco

Which is the best pain pill? Mallinckrodt 5-325 (NDC 00406-0365) tablet or Qualitest (NDC 00603-3890)? Have been taking Qualitest 5-325 tablet when needed one tablet by mouth one time a day from targets in dallas nc. Stopped at another targets in Mooresville, NC for same thing I thought. I was in such pain, I failed to see if it was the same thing as to what I had taken. It was take one tablet twice a day. I came home and took one tablet . It never hit the pain. I looked and it was a mallinckro 5-325. So I waited two hours and took the second pill. It never hit the pain. Next day I took 1 & 1/2 pill twice a day. It never hit the pain. so what is wrong with this pill? did the pharmacy fill the priscription incorrectly? Please let me know what I should do?

Hello, Jeanine! How are you?

There can be some slight fluctuations in the amount of the active ingredient from one generic medication to another. If you're sensitive to medications, or were taking the one from one manufacturer for quite awhile, it may cause some issues like this. However, your body should eventually adjust, but it may take about a week.

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
