Norco Watson

The white new norcos do not work, and I am back spending half my life in bed. Why is is they break in half so easily? The yellow ones couldnt be broken by hand. Who can we call? The DEA?

REPORT

Hi allie,

It seems like a lot of patients have been experiencing problems with the Norco made by Actavis (formerly known as Watson). Apparently from what I understand, after Watson was bought out, Actavis made some "unnecessary" changes within the inactive ingredients, causing them to not be nearly as effective as their yellow predecessor.

If you want to put in a complaint, I would suggest filing a report with the FDA under their MedWatch program, which can be reached at:

fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/default.htm

Maybe if enough people report similar problems they will consider making changes. But in the meantime you may want to contact your doctor about trying something else instead?

I hope this helps!

I don't know what happened to Watson but I wish they would come back. All these other Norco brands are bulls***!
