My concern is that this MLKCM brand make me feel ill. It causes heart palpitations, increased bowel movements, and it does not help the pain as well add the other. Is this mallinckrodt and had anyone else had these symptoms with this brand? Thank you so much for any help you can give on info with this brand

Correct, I made a complaint to my phar about these mallincrodt, and they gave me the same ones the next month, I did not accept them, I called my other phar and they said they have amneal, so I though I could just deal with the mallincrodt for another month, but the side effects are getting worse, so I will take action today

It's causing every bone in my body to hurt, and lots of intestinal gas, I just had steroid shots, I should not be in pain, this is unacceptable, and someone is going to take responsibility for my suffering.

No you're not alone, but what they told you is wrong, there are other brands. I think we should do a lawsuit. Mallinckrodt is causing my whole body to hurt. I just had steroid shots in my back, and I should not be in pain.

I hate that manufacturer’s adderall. When it’s theirs I have to take a higher dose for the same effect as others. I imagine you’re having withdrawals because the meds are weak. Generics can vary up to 20% in strength from the name brand.

Re: Manuel (# 4)

Here it is June 2020, 6 years after this guy's comment and this complete and utter placebo junk is STILL on the market, still flooding the market and hundreds if not thousands have complained to the FDA and Mallinckrodt, why is this junk still being sold?? I think we all need to absolutely REFUSE this crap if they give it to you at the pharmacy. Mallinckrodt is a Swedish company and they sub-contract the hydrocodone out to INDIA, does this tell you anything?? No one oversees quality issues in India! Do you really think the FDA is inspecting this medication from INDIA? NO they are NOT. They are getting away with selling blank placebos with NO active ingredient in them. I have taken 2 and 3 at a time and been in tears in pain and it does NOTHING. Something is definitely going on with this medication. I believe the 5 mgs. probably contain .5 mg and the 10 mg. contain 1 (YES ONE) mg. I see someone replied to someone complaining about Aurobindo, an actual company rep. that cares about people complaining, too bad Mallinckrodt doesn't care, too bad our government doesn't care. I know another person who was in severe dental pain, abscessed tooth, worst pain imaginable if you've ever had one, and they were given this Mallinckrodt too and they cried all through the night, absolutely worthless. This is INHUMANE, is anyone reading the hundreds of complaints? I talked to a pharmacist at a different pharmacy last month after I'd gotten the placebo Mckt. again and he told me that he's been a pharmacist for 21 years and KNOWS all about that junk and will go out of his way to try NOT to have that crap in stock. I go back to my doctor next week and WILL change to this pharmacy because he is well aware about this problem and he CARES, that actually means something to you crooks out there who are allowing this and I also have a feeling someone might be exchanging blank black market pills for the legit pills in the distribution process, it can be easily done in transport. I pray they get this crap off the market.

Re: Lynn Pain (# 19)

Your post was from last year but Mallenkrodt is the only generic I can get. 10/325. I found out the fillers come from contaminated products from India and China. They found a filthy plant in China and bird droppings in the products from India. They were doing unannounced inspections and found horrifying contaminants. That is why we are getting sick. Plus the amount of hydrocodone was not the same from one batch to another.

Re: don (# 7)
10mg/ 325 is only generic for Vicodin. Name brand Vicodin would be 10mg/300. The “300”’s are name brand. The “325’s” are generic hydrocodone for Vicodin. The 300 or 325 is the amount of acetaminophen in the pill. I know because I was given the 7.5/300 mg Vicodin and when they told me the price I about fell over. I asked the Pharmacist why the price was so much higher and he said that the “300’s” were the name brand and the “325’s” were generic.

I'm so freaking sick of our government and them f***ing with our lives like its damn nothing!! Free country my ass!! No other country that I know of has the problem of going to the pharmacy and getting a generic that doesn't even have to be made with a set percentage of the active ingredient of the medication and they can use whatever buffers they want. We are told to go home and shut up or get nothing!!! They wonder why there is such a drug problem I'm this country??? Get a f***in clue damn near everything is ass backwards in our government! And they have their dirty hands in the money jars all along behind every big epidemic or war on drugs or war period!!! I've been suffering with debilitating pain that's now turned to permanent damage and deformed joints and loss of bone and ability to walk normal or do just about anything and had a disability for 7yrs. They took it away out of nowhere. That was in 07!!! I'm still trying to get it back!!! I have 3 conditions or diseases or syndromes more than I had when I was approved the first time and they basically told me to stop applying!! They force people to the breaking point! I'm FED UP!! In rural Missouri well not that rural about 30 miles north of Kcmo... I wish I lived my Mexico, I would go across and buy what I want to take and how many I know works and take them like prescribed and have somewhat of a quality of life!

I don’t believe that the Pharmacists are tampering with the product but the manufacturers sure are. Since the early eighties manufacturers have been allowed to put in as low as 80% of the active ingredient. However, recently, in an attempt to stem the addictive qualities of the opioid medications the manufacturers have reengineered the opioid pills to have 70% less oxytocin’s. (I have not seen it in writing myself but I believe the source). The problem is that when you take out that much of the oxytocin’s to control the addictive qualities of the pills you also remove the effectiveness of the pills as well.

Re: ManuelG (# 15)

I work in a pharmacy and the pharmacist do not know anything. They are not hiding anything from us. I take this brand of Norco 7.5mg and I too believe that something is indeed wrong with them. They don’t work as well as they did years ago I believe the government is having the drug makers decrease the effective ingredient cuz of the whole so called opioid crisis. Believe me I always listen to everything the pharmacists say cuz I want to know why they don’t work as well and if they knew anything I would hear about it. So the pharmacists aren’t doing anything to the meds etc but I believe someone is

Walgreen’s will always sell the cheapest pills possible. Quality in an opioid medication is the least of their worries.

Re: Ty Dollar Sign (# 27)

Yes! We are screwed because the political climate is against us right now. This started with obamler and because of the thief’s stealing their grandparents pills and overdosing and also the street drug addicts that are getting bathtub fentanyl and bathtub heroin. These addicts are criminals and no one can attack them so they attack the legal users who get legal prescriptions and use their medications responsibly. What most people do not realize is that all of the opioid medications have been remanufactured and 70% of the oxytocin in the pills have been removed in an attempt to reduce the addictive qualities of the pills. The main problem about that is that in an attempt to remove the addictive qualities of the pills they also removed the pain killing qualities. Along with the long time regulation that a pill only has to have 80% of the active ingredient we are getting hit by a double whammy. As far as filing a class action lawsuit, which law firm would even touch this case? Going after the opioid users is popular on both sides of the aisle (dems and Republicans) so no one wants to take this issue on. Besides a legal firm that specializes in the class action lawsuits only want the slam dunk lay downs and they would have to spend too many hours having to work to suit them. There is just no advocates for the chronic pain people that have used their medications responsibly. Many for more than one decade+. Also the expenses that would have to be paid by the law firm up front to gather the evidence and present their case is way more than a law firm wants to expend up front. Unless it is a slam dunk case they will not take it on.

Re: Beth (# 29)
A Pharmacist will never care what one of their people think. In fact they are hoping that you will take your business elsewhere because that would mean they are not having to fill an opioid prescription which to them means one less addict that they have to be concerned with. To a Pharmacist anyone filling a prescription for an opioid medicine is an addict. In their mind there is no reason to ever be prescribed an opioid. If you go to a chain Pharmacy they are happy if you leave because they do not want to deal with the heat they get when they fill an opioid prescription.
