I was prescribed hydrocode 10/325 by my md. I was getting yellow pills.now I'm getting pills that i believe are from mallinckrodt the hotel says manufacturing company is MLKCM. 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

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.

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.

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.

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.
