White Watson Norco By Actavis

The new white Norco by Actavis does not work as well as the Yellow Norco by Watson did. With these white ones I also experience the same bad side effect as other generic Norco which is severe migraine headaches. At times I forego taking the pain meds out of fear for the migraine I know that will follow. Actavis obviously changed the formula. Does anyone have an idea what inactive ingredient could cause the migraines?

Hello, Heidi! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having.

It's difficult to say, since everyone is different, so trying to figure out what's causing you the problem would be guess work. It might be due to the medication, itself. Headaches are a possible side effect of narcotics, in some people that take them. It is listed in the databases, this is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause other side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Have you spoken to your doctor about the issue? They should be able to prescribe something different for you to try.

I generally get headaches with Dilaudid, but not others, so you may do better with a different medication, as well.

Norco is not being made anymore. The company was bought out by Allergan. All you get is generic junk. Mallinckrodt. Something like that. Reduced 10 to 20 percent bad. S***.

The companies that make false Norco don’t care about the public and their need for the real need. For Norco. Just the junk Malquest and the others returns they are manufacturing the real thing. FDA will be notified for the false drugs being sold
