Anyone have horrible reactions with this batch number? All 4 needles caused fingers, toes to go numb. Could not get war - chills so bad I could hardly walk. Horrible pressure in base of neck. Contacted AVONEX - Biogen but they seemed not bothered. Obviously becayse they don't have to take the needles. Also does anyone have problemd taking AVONEX and over the counter cold medication, Codine ect??

I have recently got some bensedin with the new design, but obviously the same looking tablets. If you have not seen the new design Google ksalol new design, the bensedin is exactly the same but says bensedin 10mg. My lot number is 47651 exp 07 2024. I will be sending one of to wedinos as when I take one although it works and tastes right they seem to be giving me a slight headache left front side of my head. I have never experienced this b4 with bensedin... Now I say the tablets are the same but I have noticed the rim that goes around the sides of these new ones seems only slightly but is more pronounced on all bensedin I have ever previously had. Anyone that sees this topic, I will put up results as soon as I have them. In the meantime if anyone else has this batch in the new design pl...

I've been on Flecainide for around 8 years and so far no issues. My last major breakthrough was March 2011. I have the occasional PVC but nothing major. I got a new set of prescriptions and one of them was 150mg tablets from AvKare. I started with these and about a week later I started having issues. Numerous PVCs, episiodes of afib that lasted anywhere from 1 to 2 hours. I had some leftover tablets from the prior prescription and stared taking those (while taking the new prescriptions for the rest of my meds) I'm feeling better and episodes are only occurring when I'm sleeping and I'm hoping by the end of the week I'll be back to normal. I'm thinking I got a bad batch of pills but I don't know how to confirm it. Any suggestions? ## How are you doing, now? Ha...

I have been taking 25 mg of Atenolol for some time. It seems that since the shortage during the winter, I have had a bad taste in my mouth for some time. I am wondering if anyone else has noted this. It is the only medication I take. One doctor did wonder if any non-active ingredients in the Atenolol now being shipped have changed to create this effect. Has anyone else noticed this? ## KC94, I did a little research and according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information orally administered Atenolol is known to have a bitter taste. Different companies try to mask this by decreasing the solubility of the drug or by removing the interaction of the drug with the taste buds but it will vary from brand to brand and batch to batch. Basically some companies will flavor their drugs or...

I have been taking Contrave for a couple of months now and this last bottle's tablets smell terrible. None of the other bottles have smelled like this. Also, it seems that the smell is getting worse as time goes on. Btw, the expiration date is late 2017. ## Hello, Susan! How are you? Yes, other people have commented about this, as well and many medications do have funny odors, or a bad taste, it's just that they are often coated to keep people from noticing. It makes me wonder if the coating has been thinner on some batches. Did you pick it up from the same pharmacy as before? The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, anorexia, nervousness, and insomnia. ## Yes, always the same pharmacy. I wondered if maybe it was an indication of losing eff...

I've been taking .25 of clonazepam for over ten years for Chronic neck pain. Recently I've come across bad batches or something changed in the medicine and have been getting withdrawal symptoms. My terrifying problem is that its work perfectly for my neck pain and now I need to not only worry about withdrawal but the chronic neck condition that I now can't get relief from. Does anyone know what I can do. Detox is one thing but what am I going to do for my chronic neck pain while I detox.. Lord, God help me to find the right answer... ## Hello, Sandra! How are you? I am sorry about the problems you've experienced. After taking it for so many years, it could be that your body is just becoming tolerant to this dosage, so it is no longer as effective for you.

I hope that I can save just even one person from taking clonazepam. The FDA doesn't protect us from these pharmaceutical companies. I've been living in pure hell for months due to bad batches of clonazepam being sold in our local pharmacies. Google FDA warnings to Sandoz. That's all it is, a warning not a recall. ## Dear Sandra, Sorry to hear about your reaction to Sandoz Clonazepam. If you're able to, I'd encourage you to file a detailed report through the FDA's MedWatch program at: fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch. This may help get your voice heard among other patients who reported similar experiences. I'd also let them know that their drug approval process could use a facelift and perhaps a complete overhaul of whatever protocols they use for evaluating drug safet...

Fake Norco 7.5mg, as well as Klonopin 1-2mg orange pills in Bluffton, Indiana. I am 99% positive these pills have either been substituted or purposely sold bad, an old batch, etc.. I am on a low amount, 2 a day for having acutely infected sinus perforations from teeth pulled as well as 8 additional teeth yet to be pulled, scared straight. I know it's illegal to share pills, but I traded one equal pill for another and always had the same reaction - My pills did not work, but others did. What do I do? I live in a small town where corruption is the norm. How do you prove this so they can't harm people and steal their and the insurance companies money? Win against a giant corrupted company? I was tested by my insurance company and it showed no Norco, which I was taking from Walmart....

How To Tell If Amox Clav 875 125 Pills Are Old. RX Just got looks crumbly ## Hi Wendy, Is this a prescription that you just got filled? It is possible that you were accidentally given a bad batch of pills. To my knowledge, new pills shouldn't be crumbly or look unkept. If you're unsure in the slightest, I would take the pills back to your pharmacy and share your concerns with them. I'm sure you aren't the only one that has had this happen. Please share your experience with the community if you find out what went wrong!

I refilled my prescription and received some yellow 10/325 vicodin. I normally take my dose and feel so much better, but the ones I just got make me so so sick. I vomit and feel hungover. I am concerned these are a bad batch or something I need them for my pain but am so scared to take these particular ones again. How can I tell if they are fake and/or bad? Please help. ## @Concerned patient, If you're receiving these meds through your doctor from a licensed pharmacy there should be no reason to even question whether or not they're real/fake. Pharmacies don't dispense fake medication, but often times they do dispense ineffective brands/generics that lack quality from cheap manufacturers. I usually don't see too many complaints pertaining to the yellow V 36 01 from Qualit...

I have been taking this pill for about 10 yrs. I refilled my prescription and suddenly I am experiencing hot flashes and sleeping problems (laying awake for hours). Costco says it is the same manufacturer as before (Watson). I am wondering if "bad batches" have been reported lately. My last refill prior to this one was 90 days ago and I had no problems with that refill. My pharmacist says there is no reason and they have not had anyone complain. Are there any recent complaints regarding this manufacturer? ## Hello, Cher! How are you? I'm sorry about the problems you're having. No, I've not read any reports of such. However, after 10 years, it could be that it just isn't working for you in this dosage, anymore. Our bodies do tend to get used to anything we take fo...

I just got a new script for 5mg of Oxycodone. The first time I took one it just didn't feel right. I felt a little jittery, usually I feel mellow. The manufacturer is KVK-Tech and the pill code is K 18. I have had these before and they were fine. Is it possible that I got a bad batch? Should I bring it up to my pharmacist? Thank you. ## Hello, Suzanne! How are you? Have things gotten any better? Was there anything else that may have influenced you and made you feel that way, such as more sugar or coffee that day? They should be the same, but if the issue kept occurring, you may want to look into it. ## I just received the same for a prescription; they did nothing at all and did not relieve pain. I called the pharmacist. They could do nothing. I actually took a drug panel and it came...

I have oxycodone 10’s (5 of them) and it looks like they got wet or something. The imprint is kind of faded. I can barely see the numbers and it didn’t take the pain away like it usually does. My question is, what could it be? Could they have gotten wet or is it a bad batch from the pharmacy? ## Hi Red, Sorry to hear about your situation. In my opinion I think you should contact your primary care physician since the pills are not working for you in the way that they normally do and explain the situation. Considering your pills are still in tact and the imprint is still legible he/she may be willing to refill your script or exchange them so that you are not taking partial doses of your medication. I suppose ultimately it would come down to your opinion of if the pills are sti...

I have been taking this medicine for a short while. The firat 30 days my no was well controlled but I've had a serious backache for about 2 weeks. At refill, it was switched to another brand, North star Rx LL. My bp is again staying elevated, 150/95 consistently, and the backache is gone. Is it possible that I got a bad batch? ## Hello, Kathy! How are you? It is rather difficult to say, it could be that it's just not working well for you. What type of foods do you eat? Do you watch your sodium? How much fluid do you drink each day? Are you on any other medications? Do you get lots of exercise? Have you spoken to the prescribing doctor about it?

I have been taking lisinopril for about a year with an annoying cough the whole time. Then suddenly last week developed a cough from hell, all day, and all night, no sleep, etc. Went to the doctor and they said it was the lisinopril and changed the perscription. When I was in line to pick it up the man in front of me was there for the same reason. Is there a bad batch running around? ## I doubt it is due to a bad batch, it is actually a very common side effect of this medication. For some people it is very mild and wears off after a few weeks, but for others, it continues or worsens and they have to switch medications. In all honesty, you should have talked to your doctor about the cough and something should have been done about it some time long before this. Are there any other questio...

lt green 10 mg mylan 477-is it placebo? ## Pill Image No, not a Placebo, this is Diazepam 10mgs, a generic for Valium. Are you having trouble with this pill not working? Unfortunately the FDA allows the active ingredients in generics to differ by as much as plus or minus 20% from the name brands, so if the company has poor quality control, you could have gotten a bad batch. There are also no regulations requiring that the inactive ingredients, which are used for binders and fillers, be the same at all. They can use whatever they wish for that as long as it is approved for us in drugs. So if it seems these pills have no affect on you, something in the inactive ingredients could also disagree with your body so it doesn't work as well for you as other brands would. You might want to ta...

Just got some TEVA diazepam tablets refilled. I get prescribed hardly any for anxiety.. I took a punt as they were in strips and the box etc. They have a score line on one side and 10 on the other. I got them for sleeping/anxiety and they do the job but I have heard that threre are many bad ones in the uk. These ones don't really feel like prescription diazepam but they give you the classic appetite though. I called TEVA uk and gave them the batch number and expiry date on the box/strips and they confirmed that they WERE from TEVA and the serial/batch numbers change all the time so they were up to date? They tasted like Valium also. Do you think that these are just an under dosed batch? I have been searching to see if I can get one lab tested to see the actual mg in a pill. ## Diffe...

I used Latisse successfully for several months & loved the look. But then my lashes started to fall out, leaving me with short stubby ones less full than when I began the latisse. Does anyone know if it stops working, or the body gets resistant to it, or have any of you had the same reaction? Thanks. ## Same thing happened to me - I am wondering if this is a bad batch of Latisse - how would one know until eyelashes stop growing or fall out? ## It is normal for your body to eventually get used to any type of medication you are using, even a topical one and it may stop working as well as it once did. The warnings in the product information also say that other changes in hair growth may occur and though it is rare, this could involve shorter or less lashes. Some drugs don't work at...
