Has anyone tried generic clonazepam by Sandoz Pharmaceuticals Inc., which is owned by Novartis AG? I just picked up my new refill of generic clonazepam 2mgs. Last time they had given me the generic Accord Healthcare which I didn't like. I inquired about Teva but had heard it had discontinued its generic clonazepam. Teva and Mylan were the only ones I liked, with Teva being definitely my favorite. This time they gave me the generic clonazepam by Sandoz Pharmaceuticals Inc., which is weird, just like the Accord Healthcare ones. Yet they both feel different. The generic clonazepam 2mgs. by Sandoz Pharmaceuticals Inc. have E on top of the numbers 65 on one side, and nothing on the other side, not even a score. They are white, completely round and very small with a smooth surface. I have...

Has anyone heard when novartis plant will start making opana ER again? This was my best pain med. ## Hi Donna, Some information that I've gathered on the topic has led me to believe that it shouldn't be more than a year till they reopen: "Novartis Chief Executive Officer Joseph Jimenez said the drugmaker is in discussions with the FDA about restarting production at its Lincoln, Nebraska, plant. Novartis temporarily suspended operations at the facility after consumer complaints about broken pills and packaging mix-ups, the Basel, Switzerland-based company said Jan. 8. While Jimenez declined to comment on when the plant may reopen, he said analyst reports that the plant could be closed for a year were a 'big surprise' to him."
