Aurobindo Hydrocodone, Mallinckrodt Hydrocodone, Qualitest
(Newest replies first)

I have been taking Hydrocodone-Acetominophen 7.5-325 for years for degenerative disks in my back. The generic Aurobindo tablets don't work for me and make me nauseated. Applause go to: Mallinckrodt. Mallinckrodt manufactures that same prescription (white pill M366) and they are the only ones I have found that actually work with no unpleasant side effects. I really wish my pharmacy hadn't switched manufacturers. I am extremly disappointed in Aurobindo generic for Norco. The other one that didn't work was orange with a V on one side and 36|05 on the other, manufactured by Qualitest. It was garbage, just like the Aurobindo.

They no longer have the stronger ingredients that give some a euphoric feeling I guess because of the fight against addiction. That's what the Dr. thinks. Now my Rx says I can take two at a time but it wont take away the pain so what do I do now??? The Mfr is AUROBINDO.

"Try to identify the inactive ingredients"...that's exactly why I've been posting to this website and so far no one has given any advice on this. Got a suggestion?

Before accepting any other manufacturer's version of hydrocodone that you're not used to having, I would try and find out what inactive ingredients are being used in the tablets; and take note of its composition to help pinpoint the cause of a lack of efficacy in comparison to a tablet that does work.

When it comes to brand name medication, binders and fillers tend to be the only things that change when you switch from one version of a tablet to another.

However, generics are also rumored to contain up to 20% more OR less active ingredients as well. This could mean that a 10mg Hydrocodone only has 8mg, while another generic might have up to 12mg. Only a lab analysis would tell us for certain; but couple this inconsistency with different sets of binders / fillers and it probably feels like you're taking a different medication altogether...

Hopefully you can get your doctor to specify a particular manufacturer's name on future prescriptions to help avoid any added stress.

I've probably just read 50 reviews on Hydrocodone 10-325's & you're the first person that actually has something good to say about Mallinckrodt. It's the only manufacture I can take, everything else makes me sick as a dog and doesn't touch the pain what-so-ever. Now I'm just having a hard time finding that brand. Let's hope they stay in business!
