Tramadol By Amneal Vs Mylan
(Newest replies first)

All our pharmacies here have switched to amneal, which doesn't do a thing except give a headache. The brand does make a difference. The mylan works great.

Re: JR (# 101)

Yes, my last script filled by my local Walmart was TruPharma, now polyoperating under Advagen as well - long white, 018 imprint. Their parent company is Rubicon Research, mfg in India. To me they’re similar to Sun Pharma also mfg in India. I have found Teva brand to be most effective, mfg in Czech Republic. Anything but Amneal’s crap! I also had problems with their codones when I had my other hip replaced. It also has to do with body chemistry - what works well for some may not for others, just as colognes/perfumes differ in smell from one person to the next. But I sure read a lot of gripes about Amneal!! I’ve not tried Ultram or Mylan, but with the continual revolving of suppliers everywhere, I may try what others have mentioned on here about having the pharmacy order the well reviewed brand of choice. It seems there’s a shortage of tramadol lately, some mfg’s having discontinued production, and possibly connected to the fentanyl crisis from what I’ve read.

Thanks so much, I thought it was me. I had been going to three different pharmacies to ensure I received Teva brand. It provided pain relief & energy, but most importantly a good mood. Amneal is wrecking me sadly. I have Fibromyalgia, Numerous injuries & also PTSD Depression.

Re: Tam (# 100)

I have taken both Teva and Amneal generic Tramadol 50MG over the last 10 years.

Put on first started taking it 10 years ago Teva seemed more efficacious, but recently I have noticed a serious decrease in the efficacy of their product.

I switched back to Amneal and for the last five months it is (at least in my opinion) significantly more efficacious than Teva.

My Walgreens only carries Amneal. No Teva. But today I got a refill and it's Tru Pharma.

Re: Lynn (# 81)

Me too. Will never get Amneal again, my Walgreens orders a bottle of Teva and has a note in their computer "Teva for Tramadol" that pops up with a flag when they refill it, but I still check every single time because Amneal is the same shape and the pharmacy has floaters come and go who IGNORE the flag; this just happened yesterday, and they told me that was probably why. I didn't realize until I got home, called them right away to say I was bringing back the unopened script. They agreed that a fill-in employee had ignored the flag, and the refill was delayed because of it. Amneal is horrible.

Amneal was horrendous.

Re: Abigail (# 16)

Hi Abigail, I realize that your post here was from 2015 but wanted to comment that I also went through a similar issue when my longtime Tramadol script was refilled with "Amneal" instead of the Teva I'd been taking for years. I kept thinking it was just me(disturbing thoughts, bad headaches, etc.,) because it was during the early pandemic in 2020, I was moving to a different state, etc., but finally one day it occurred to me that these feelings had coincided with my last refill after I'd moved,and the Walgreens had switched it to Amneal. I called them and insisted on Teva, and within 4 hours of going back on Teva, it felt like a black cloud had lifted and I KNEW it was from the Amneal. My called my Dr to tell him, and told me that it could have been the fillers used by Amneal or just "a bad batch". I will never take anything other than the Teva again! I am not a person who usually has any "sensitivities" to meds, so it was really scary, and I lost about 4 weeks to the effects from the Amneal, since I couldn't function(wasn't working, thankfully).

Re: slybele (# 87)

They changed it to a controlled IV drug because (and most people do not know this but you can google opiate conversion calculator...there are serval available)
that 100MG of TRAMADOL = 10MG of Morphine.

Re: Truthsayer (# 93)

What an ignorant statement! I actively encourage you to read the Hatch-Waxman Act as it relates to how the FDA determines if a drug is bioequivalent to the brand name.

It allows the generic firm to vary + OR - 20% when completing an ANDA for FDA approval.

When the generic company conducts its testing to demonstrate that their product is bioequivalent, they often will only use 10-15 subjects. Sometimes they may not even include geriatric patients, or patients of a different race.

Moreover, the FDA does not proactively supervise or oversee the generic firm's testing, they accept that the generic firm did not "fudge" their data, and that solid internal and external validity prevailed during testing.

The results of the generic company's testing is not made available to the public.

Finally, and this is where it becomes even more concerning, is that most generic companies actually produce their product in third world countries....usually India.

They may have offices in the United States and distribute the drug here, but they make the drug in places (that I can assure you) you would not..... want to live.

I find that TRAMADOL manufactured by Teva is more potent than Mylan or Amneal.

Re: slybele (# 87)

You're right, they rescheduled it to a higher narcotic, but they also changed the formula to a lower formulation, plus it is substandard. Someone, at one of the pharmacies(a few years ago,can't remember which) told me that our medications are now being bought from pharmaceutical mfrs. in India who have probably changed the fillers, which affect the way our bodies absorb and respond to the medication. They have probably also been instructed by our FDA to alter the pain ingredient to comply with, (at that time), Obamas war on Drugs. The generic tramadol being dispensed, in my case, does little to help with pain. I combine with naprosyn to get by, but it also causes various affects like depression and, or, anxiety some months, other months it takes away feelings, hope, enthusiasm, even anger, etc., plus it is a VERY harsh mix of components to swallow. Every now and then I get a script that feels like nothing, with no feeling of pain relief. But I keep hoping that the next month will be better, plus my only alternative would be to change to a narcotic like a Codone, or Morphine, which causes similar affects PLUS they cause a high/ loopyness which affects my balance, and makes it hard to stay awake. Original Tramadol, mfr'd before 2013, very efficiently took pain away, AND it caused NO negative affects. My pharmacy is at Fry's, they dispense Amneal which at one time mfr'd very effective medication, but which is NOT producing the same quality now. Generic tramadol is not the only medication that has been changed to a substandard formulation I have talked with family members and friends who say the medications they are taking(heart, diabetes, pain, etc) cause various affects that they didn't have before. Sorry to say, but I think as long as our meds are mfr'd in India, and maybe other cheap labor places, that the U.S. FDA is distant from, we will continue to get substandard medications.
