I have cronic back pain due to an injury. I had surgery in March of 2003 to try to repair the damage, but it was not successful. So I have was prescibed Hydrocodone/APAP, and if not for this medication, I would no longer be able to work or have a normal life. (I also take Neurontin for nerve pain and Ultram for inflamation.) But due to those people who abuse such medications, it is hard to find a ...

Tris Norco 10mg keeps changing their pills to now feels like I'm taking ultram! Why is this legal they've been messing with it for a year now. The other generics are all worthless too so I won't even bother . Please people call FDA daily file complaints on their website as well as with Tris pharmacuticals call them daily make complaints , til they get sued and fined for this. This is NOT HYDROCOD...

On pain meds for over 10 years. Amneal pharmaceuticals hydrocodone 5 mg has not been effective. I feel like I am drunk and get minimal pain relief. I start sweating in about 4 hours. Shame on these manufacturers

Mallinckrodt oxycodone, hydrocodone and codeine tablets do not work at all. None of it breaks the blood/brain barrier, but is the only brand available in my area. I complained to the FDA, knowing that these drug companies test their own drugs and almost always find that the medication is 'effective', but never received any answer. I finally told my doctor that there was no sense in refilling my prescriptions. After taking 45 oxycodone/acetomenaphin tablets per month for 3 months, I should have had withdrawal symptoms of some kind, but nothing happened. These pills do not work, period.Read More Read Less

I have M/S and I have a vascular necrosis in both of my hips I only have pain with the right hip. I had a decompressive surgery in 2001 that did not help I have been living with the pain every since. The orthopedic doctor says I needed a complete hip replacement but my neurologist said that I could have a major M/S relapse if I had the surgery so I have not. I just try to get by as best I can. I have been on hydrocodone 10/325 for several years and I have noticed a big change in the hydrocodone that is available and in my experience the Amneal brand has been the most effective but the last prescription was not as effective as the one before. Something isn't right bit it is still the best that I have been able to get. My worst brand has been Tris pharmaceuticals it is like taking sugar pills. I can not feel any pain relief whatsoever as far as Mallinckrodt goes I haven't taken that brand enough to see if it is effective. I have some of that brand because. Y pharmacy only had part of my prescription of Amneal and they had to finish it with Mallinckrodt because the Amneal has been limited availability. But I know something is wrong with these medications not being as effective as they were before. Someone needs to do something to get answers for why. The pharmaceutical companies are playing with people's lives and abilities to function and as ambulant as we can. Everyone are not just a druggie trying to get high. Most of us people with chronic pain are just trying to live. I also think it's pretty stupid for these attorneys and legislators filling suits against the pharmaceutical companies and causing the truly sick and real patients with chronic pain to suffer. We have no options but medications or do nothing at all and suffer in pain. Read More Read Less

Hydrocodone 10mg has been unavailable in Southern California so have been using 5mg Hydrocodone. The 5mg have not even as effective and seem to wear off in about 4 hours instead of 6hrs. I feel more sleepy, almost drunk when taking these pills.

Hydrcodone/Acetominophen by Mallinkrodt does not work to reduce pain from Lupus and Rhumetoid Arthritus. I dont know what formula they used but it is ineffective on chronic deep pain and it hurts my stomache. Please bring back Norco and Lortab manufacturers. Why let people continue to be in pain.

I have been taking the 10mg Hydrocodone/325 Acetaminophen for almost 10 years now and I feel the medication is gradually becoming less effective. I take it as prescribed for SI joint dysfunction, bulging disc pain and degenerative joint disease and it has always worked until just this past year. Seems the pharmaceutical companies are not putting as much effective ingredients in them anymore. I have to double my dose just to get relief these days. I feel like the pharmaceutical industry is no longer concerned about the well being of individuals (not that they ever really did in my opinion) and are more concerned on the monetary aspect. It is a sad world we live in.Read More Read Less

I think this medicine might help with minor pains but for daily use its not that helpful. I would not recommend taking it. The risk(addiction)is not worth the reward(reduction of pain)

I am beside myself with pain in my knees and I have the utter misfortune of receiving oxycodone from this horrible mf, Mallinckrodt. 10 mg of this crap and having to take upwards of 4 pills at a time just to feel something, which is useless. The FDA should look into this company, people are suffering. They should not be allowed to manufacture pain medication because their products do not work. I am literally on the verge of not wanting to live, that's how bad the pain is for me.

With my chronic painful conditions my dr has to switch tramadol to hydrocodone only in winter months which has worked. So im not addicted. This Pharmaceutical brand Mallinckrodt is now being sued for not selling the right products. Now i understand others reviews cuz it's not easing my pain at all keeping me off work in the house. Why is that allowed when they obviously are bankrupt & robbing patients of their correct treatments?

This drug is miraculous & works wonders for me. I'm a 73 year old female & haven't had any side effects. I'm really puzzled by all the complaints.

Was given 10/325mg Norco generic Mallinckrodt. I usually buy brand name Vicodin in the past. I was surprised how well its working. I have no pain in my rotator cuffs. It also relieves my tension headaches.

Re: malinkrodt pharma. A joke. What are they putting in these pills? Not only ineffective, they changed ingredients. Past couple months really bad. Bad headache, no pain relief. I have complained to the different pharmacies. They won’t be honest either. It’s a business. File complaints. Request your physician file too. I want to see current data for testing on mentioned medication.

Multiple vehicle accidents, two falls. Been in hydrocodone for Baer 10 years. Until 2 years ago random issues. Dirty pills, crumble develop spots. But past 8 months from same bottle have some pills cause breathing problems, hives, lots of issues. Malinkrodt what I’m on now had the worst issues and I can’t work now. Where I had some quality of life. I filed complaints with FDA. They tell me if we have other similar complaints I would be notified. Think I filed 4 times. Told my doctor should file a complaint as well. Sure she didn’t. I read that certain manufacturers have had big fines for dirty facility, mold and much more. Everybody needs to file these complaints to make this change. There are times when drug has no or little relief of pain. I never had that before. What ever they’re putting in these drugs have made me so ill I’m on sofa most of the day. The doctors can’t take my pain away. I reluctantly tried these pills and they allowed me to continue to work and able to sleep. Not now.Read More Read Less

Mallinckrodt brand has been a nightmare! Sweats, nausea, and the worst migraines of my life! No other brand did this to me. Take Mallinckrodt OUT OF OUR PHARMACIES NOW!

The hydrocodone brand that works well for me is the Rhodes brand 10/325. It is what deals with the pain and works best for me overall. Since Rhodes has been on hold, and just now got back into production, I'm told it can take two months to get the hydrocodone

I agree with all the negative complaints on Mallinckrodt. No relief from pain. I had a few left over yellow tabs that were made by Qualitest and although they were a issued in 2018 I took one half of the 10 mg and it immediately relieved the pain in my lower back and it made me feel much better overall in terms of having the energy for physical activities. And they were 5 years old and STILL effective! The Mallinckrodt tablets made me feel tired, slightly dizzy and no relief from pain -- almost as if it were a placebo with bad effects. I cannot understand why Mallinckrodt has cornered the market everywhere in every pharmacy across the U.S.? Can someone answer that question? No other options from different companies? When I ask the pharmacists they say the same thing: We have no control - that is what the suppliers provide and one pharmacist who tried to order others because he was receiving many complaints about the Mallinckrodt said that the others were blocked out as in Not Available. What the hell is going on? Does this have something to do with China? Pretty shocking that most if not all of our meds are made in China, a dictatorship that hates the U.S. Big Pharma could care less as long as they make their big profits. I don't trust the Biden administration. Everything has changed for the worst since they (Obama's people) got back into office with high inflation, shipping problems, shortages of food, severe shortages of medicines, high fuel prices and now WWIII??!!
