Will all vicodin pills have the word vicodin on it?
I work at a pharmacy, and we almost never dispense brand name Vicodin unless specified by the doctor or the patient. So, unless you get brand name Vicodin, it won't say Vicodin on the tablets and depending on the manufacturer that the pharmacy is contracted with, the tablets will be a different color and have different imprints on them from one pharmacy to another. Brand name Vicodin will always have Vicodin written on the tablet. Hope this helps.
Why do you get better pain relief from the generic vicodin made by Watson pharmaceuticals than you do from the vicodin made from mallinckrpdt pharmaceuticals?
Generic or brand name, the drug is -- must legally be -- the same. What happens is the dosage, Regular and Extra Strength. Also the FDA has two drug ratings Class A and Class B, some manufacturers have stricter guidelines and use less fillers/additives. Legally the effectiveness and potency must be the same but typically Class A drugs are more easily absorbed and metabolized. It also depends on body chemistry, since everyone is different certain people do better with generic some better with name-brand, it depends on what works best for you. The generic vicodin made by Watson is rated class A, the generic by mallinckrpdt(M357) is class B. To find out what class a drug is ask your pharmacist.
