Mfg Mallinckrodt

I have been taking the generic form of Orange Oblong shaped form of Norco which is hydrocodone 7.5 which was working fine until they changed it to a pill with the markings M366. These things are absolutely worthless. Does Mallinckrodt plan on going out of business soon or are they going to remove these from the pharmacies. I'm sending samples of mine to the FDA to see what's wrong with them. ## I've used Qualitest 3605 for years and I agree, the Mallinckrodt M366 are substantially inferior (bio-equivalence) for pain relief. My current Part D insurance uses Walmart Home Delivery. I've called them and complained. ## They do not work. I have been spending most of my time in bed since getting my prescription from Walgreens with mfg Mallinckrodt. I believe that they are place...

My wife has been prescribed norco 10/325mg and has tried different mfg's due to different phamacy's brand they carry, she states that only Mallinckro works to stop the pain from two spinal fusions and a broken hip and femor. What pharmacy carries this brand, we got it when we were with kaiser and now we are with scan and cannot seem to obtain this mfg. ???? thanks Jim ## There is actually no way to know which generic that any given pharmacy is carrying, at any given time. It can vary, depending on which manufacturer is offering the cheapest price, when they they need to restock their supply. Have you tried asking the pharmacy if they can order the other in for her? ## WALMART they only carry this brand for it is not popular on the streets ## Is there anyone out there that not on...

Hi All, I experience pretty severe neuropathic pain due to a spinal injury. I have a Baclofen pump which also contains hydromorphone but still get a lot of breakthrough pain. I've been taking oxycodone for 8ish yrs. and the pills I was prescribed those first few yrs. did a good job at treating the pain. I've had to change pharmacies and notice lately the oxycodone 30s I've been given lately do little or NOTHING! Especially the Mallinckrodt! My doc prescribed 3 30mg pills a day but I had to munch 5 of the Mallinckrodts in a 4 hour period and still got barely any relief. I was worried I'd get constipated big time after taking that many pills several days in a row but I didn't (because they're so damn weak!) I don't know the mfg. of the oxys I was taking yrs ago...

First time getting a generic version that is soft square with 10 one one side and M on the other. MFG is M'CKRO DT SPEC. Is this new? Effectiveness? Any and all input is appreciated and any recommendations on how and where to get best generic. ## Hello, Lisa! How are you? No, this is not new, Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals has been in business for many years and manufacturing this one for quite awhile. It has passed the same efficacy and quality standards as all others that are available on the U.S. market. This medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, insomnia and anorexia. And there's no way to know which generic any particular pharmacy may have in stock at any given time. Is there anything ...

Well Kroger changed the mfg on my hydro 10/325 should I be worried? I was taking the yellow hydros. ## Mallinckrodt is a legitimate pharmaceutical company. The color/dye has been removed from the hydrocodone and acetaminophen combination products by all of the pharmaceutical companies. ## we are seeking a new supplier for our pain medication -- we are both 78 years old and moved from Michigan where there are no restrictions to New York where they have made it so clumbersome for the doctors to prescribe that they have just decided to fight back and stop prescribing all together -- my wife and I have chronic pain and need new supplier - doctor tells us to suck it up and go sit in sun and that is exact quote. Need 1500 hydrocodone 10/325 or equivalent every 90 days - but the best alternati...

If this oblong white pill you have embossed M360, on the other side has a score mark in the center of the pill, that matches the generic version of Vicodin ES brand. The mfg is Mallinckrodt Inc., 675 McDonnell Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63134. Moderately popular C-III mixture, of hydrocodone 7.5 mg and 750 mg. of acetaminophen, especially during the era 2005, 2006, 2007. "I am clueless if Mallinckrodt still manufactures hydrocodone this year 2012" If the M360 you have "does not have a score mark, on the back side, I would question, the source, the authenticity, of that particular pill". The often referred to "Mallies" were once among the industry generic leaders of 5/325, 5/500, and the 5/750 generic forms of Vicodin vs. the brand during those yrs, "brand being mad...
