Yeah I agree with you, that brand is terrible and I won’t take it (I take oxycodone.)

They put some weird abuse deterrent in it and it rips my stomach apart and makes my butt hole burn. I’m not even exaggerating for effect. I refuse to take it and the Wallgreens will order a different brand for me.

Mallindkcrotd aren't any good for pain. Lupin is the best that I have taken. CVS switch me the past two times and they don't work for my pain.

Tried the ip110, tried the m367, and definitely am not getting same relief as I use to get years ago from different brands! Is there anywhere left in Columbus Ohio that carries the yellow or the old watson 853 brand? I'm suffering! All the while the FDA is allowing pharmaceutical companies to get away with less active ingredients (tolerance levels) & different fillers that aren't working for those of us with legitimate pain issues who are not out to abuse, but actually just want pain relief for a better quality of life! If you know where, please reply! Thanks!

I don’t know if it’s everywhere but up in New England Walgreens and Walmart use the same distributor, Rite Aid and CVS I believe use the same distributor as each other but I know they are definitely different than the Wallgreens distributor. I don’t know if that helps you. Years ago when I was desperate for Teva Adderall I contacted Teva myself and ask them which pharmacies they distributed to within 100 miles of my house. It was during an adderall shortage so there were none I appreciate it I’m looking so that I didn’t have to cold call pharmacies all over the state.

Aurobindo are even worse than Mallinkroft. Idk if they make pain meds but their Adderall was so bad it was discontinued and they recently had to recall another med because the quality was so bad.

I was on 4 10/325 hydrocodones a day prescribed by my pain management doctor. Now I live in South Dakota and I’m having trouble finding a doctor that will prescribe. Anyone know of any pain management doctors I could try?

Re: Mel (# 139)

Yep Watson hydrocodone was bought by a Brazilian company about the same time Par bought Qualitest. I think Par kept Qualitest running about a year (probably to fulfill order commitments & use up those ingredients ordered). So yep the cheap companies save money by using the 80% level then buy the good companies & close them down to get rid of the competition. I wouldn't doubt that the government helps them buy the decent companies to get rid of them.

Last I was told by calling the pharmaceutical company they discontinued Hydrocodone. It’s really to bad as they were the best Hydrocodone. I refuse any and all drugs made by malinkroft. Patches fall off easy and spent a day searching our community pool. The Hydrocodone was like taking aspirin more than pain killer.

Agree. Watson is garbage and always made me very sick. Whatever they put in some medications make me sick.

Re: BustedBack (# 8)

I am in the same position. I was able to take qualitest for many years which helped to ease the severe pain I have so I could have a life and do things... socialize, housework, yard, etc. Four months ago, the new pharmacist at Walgreen's said they couldn't get that anymore. I am highly sensitive to ingredients in medications. They had mallinckrodt which gave me a big seizure! I showed up to pick up my Rx and was told they didn't have it. Walgreen's also special ordered it and even through the pandemic and all last year I was still able to get the qualitest brand every month. I have to help my mom recovering from a stroke. I researched when up to it and find McKesson has qualitest brand. Nobody will order it for me! Now, I went from being active to nothing. I need to go back to work and have a life I am not one to spend time in bed during the day but now I have a setback and spend time in bed with the horrific pain and flare ups. This is no way to live. Thank you for listening. I called McKesson and yes they took it over the qualitest hydro. It is difficult to try to deal with when one is in severe pain. I had joined a fitness club too and doing yoga trying to take care of my health until now this happened. I also have Meneire's disease for years and anyway qualitest really helped me. Forgive me for sounding like I am rambling too much or repeating myself. I am beyond frustrated. Left stranded with no help from pharmacist. Oh, I have never had any seizures before and it was scary. Incidentally it was many years ago, a wonderful pharmacist helped me find the right medication for my pain and that it worked for me and he use to work at Walgreen's. Good luck to you.

One cannot even have the most civil of conversations with any Pharmacist or Doctor about pain medicine. You cannot even speak about it without being thought of as a drug addict.

Re: Jersey (# 126)

The 300 milligram denotes how much acetaminophen is in the pill and also indicates that the pill is a NAME BRAND--not a generic. 325 denotes it is a generic. They do not even manufacture a "name brand only" Norco in the 7.5 or 5 milligram size. There are NO cdc numbers to indicate they are even manufactured. According to Aetna Insurance and my pharmacist 5 milligram or 7.5 milligram Norco is not even manufactured at all.

It’s not Watson anymore. They may still have the same or similar markings, but Actavis bought Watson a few years ago

You posted your request in 2017. The Watson brand of pain relievers were discontinued in 2016. The company that bought them still kept the name for other medications but not the pain relievers.

Walgreens stopped saying over the phone what brand they carry of any schedule 2 drug. They found out that their were "teams" of people calling to find out if the Walgreens could fill a certain prescription and when they said "yes" another person would show up to rob the Pharmacy. I was told this by a Walgreens Mgr. where I filled all my prescriptions for many years. This was when Pharmacy robberies were a big thing. The criminals found out that robbing Pharmacies was not such a good thing anymore.
