Hi Ana,

While it may be true that different manufacturers have quality control issues, I don't think there should be any reason to believe that they're counterfeit, if you were given these by a doctor/pharmacist at a clinic.

Did they inform you that this was Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen or what is it that led you to assume it was? From an outside perspective, this could literally be anything if there are no markings to identify it by. However I've never ever heard of licensed pharmacies dispensing fake pills.

Perhaps it wasn't stored properly, causing them to harden or feel stale? I'm also somewhat hard pressed (no pun intended Lol) to think of Vicodin as having a pleasant taste whether it's real or not...

I know in the US, the FDA mandates that all prescriptions bear an imprint for verification. Canada may have different laws, but it might be worth looking into if you're searching for a deeper indicator of its legitimacy...
