Qualitest Is A Horrible Brand And Has Bad Side Effects K (Page 2) (Top voted first)

the qualitest alprazolam are highly ineffective and cause nausea/vomiting, heart burn, severe migrains and swelling and/or bleeding in the throat and stomach which can be seen in the stool. my pharmacy changed to qualitest and i also recieved there oxycodone 30mg tablets. both have a deep blue color and have the same side effects. it maybe the dye or another inactive filler but what ever it is has caused me and about 7 other people i know prescibed the same things these symptoms. i sugget if you recieve this brand to request a different one or switch pharmacys. to top it all off they do not seem to have the same amount of active ingredient in them as ANY of the other brands i have taken> instead of treating my pain and anxiety i got sleepy and more irritable and no other brand does that to me or the others i have talked to that say the same. so in all i think this brand should be taken off the market because i havent spoke to anyone that is satisfied with their results, especially getting ill and some other serious side effects from these meds. stay away from this brand.

i have been taking the qualitest generic xanax for 20 years. they have been great for me, can't understand the bad reviews i read. every generic is different . most are no good..research like i did. report to FDA the cheap ones with bad fillers.

The FDA is really not interested on your take on a Psych Drug with "Bad Fillers". They will most likely think you're a nut

i never heard of xanax being a blue color. maybe qualitest comes in different forms. mine were oval, peach colored, they were great for me, fast acting.

well, guess i'm the only one, cause the qualitest i took for over 10 years was the best for me. had no side effects. maybe the problems u had were caused by your other pills

Re: RB in Florida (# 6)

Read Bluelight, a good forum. People regard Qualitest 1 mg Xanax just as good as Sandoz, though Greenstone is definitely the best of the generics....the FDA monitors the ingredients....Qualitest relaxes me just as much as Greenstone....As for Vicodin, Qualitest is much better than Mallies and Mylans....

I've been getting Alrazolam 1mg. twice a day from CVS and had no problems. They were very effective for my anxiety. Recently I switched to Sam's Club (Walmart) due to price consideration and now very much regret doing so. The pills from Sam's are a bright blue, football shaped, scored in the middle and crumble easily. I called and found out they are manufactured by Qualitest. I told the pharmacist my complaint and he said he's heard it from other patients but there is nothing he can do because - get this - you guessed it, they go with the cheapest manufacturer at the time. So you get what you pay for. I've heard the Greenstone brand (a generic, division of Pfizer) is best if you can find it. I've asked Sam's if they can order it, he said he'll try but not holding my breath. CVS said their manufacturer was Sandoz. A bit of research shows that they have a better rating per internet patient reviews than Qualitest (an Endo company). So look around, ask about manufacturer for that product at that time, and best of luck.

I have been taking spironolactone for edema and hair loss related to hypothyroidism for over a year and it was working really well. The edema went away almost as soon as I started taking it and after a few months my hair loss went back to normal and my hair grew back. I was getting the medication from Walgreen's. My insurance company, Humana, suggested that since it is a maintenance medication that it would be more cost effective to get it from their mail order pharmacy (Rite Source, now called Humana) so I did. BIG MISTAKE. For the last 6 months my hair started falling out in golf-ball sized hunks every time I washed my hair and my scalp started feeling the burning itch that always accompanies the hair loss.... in the past I had blamed this on being under-medicated for my thyroid but this time my thyroid labs were fine. I also started growing dark thick hairs on my chin, something I'd never had before, and I got some hard cyst-like pimples that kept recurring. I have always had completely clear skin, even as a teenager. I saw both my primary doctor and my dermatologist and both were mystified....my dose of spironolactone had not changed. More puzzling was that my aldosterone, which was low in range when I STARTED taking spironolactone, was now high out of range. How could this be ? I have had problems in the past with my thyroid medication when a pharmacy switched me to a generic without telling me and I know now that the FDA allows generic thyroid meds to vary 15% from the brand and have fillers that bind the hormone further so the strength is even less so I decided to see if the manufacturer of my spironolactone had been changed. And LO ! yes, Walgreen's uses Amneal whereas the cheap-ass mail order pharmacy had switched me to Qualitest. I then did an internet search and came upon many sites all slamming the effectiveness of Qualitest products, with many claiming to have had a recurrence of symptoms with spironolactone just like I did. Because of the change in my aldosterone level from my baseline, I'm really concerned that not only did the Qualitest prodcut not work, but that it has somehow affected my normal hormonal balance in a adverse way. Spironolactone is an aldosterone BLOCKER, so how can it be that my level rose from it's norm ? I am throwing out this product and going back to Walgreen's, I will have my doctor write 'AMNEAL NO SUBSTITUTIONS" on my prescription in the future, and I also intend to report the ineffectiveness of this product to the FDA. I suggest all of you who have an adverse experience with any Qualitest products do the same, otherwise there will be no changes and this company will continue to dupe and rob patients with, apparently, full government approval at an adverse cost to their health. Shameful.
