Does anyone know anything about MVW sending out white pills rather than the yellow Norco. I ordered today (who knows when I'll actually get it, but thats another headache...) They said it was manufactured by some other company. I don't recall the name. Anyone know anything about this?

The only white 10/325's I've ever had were the Mallies, but not from Ken Drugs (Medsviaweb etc.).. I hate to follow the pack, but I have to agree they are lousy. Ineffective for the pain and they give me gas!
The only 10/325's I ever got from Ken Drugs were yellow, either Norco or Watson's. So maybe this is something new?

There is also another generic form of Norco made by Qualitist (I believe). They are also yellow but a little darker than the Watson's . They have a slanted V on one side and 3601 on the other. And, they are as effective as the Watson generics in my opinion.

Don't believe the hype, I think it is all in peoples' heads...
Mallies have always worked just as well as Watson for me....

the mallies (white ones) have always worked just fine for me too, maybe even better. The first day taking them I was a bit more tired but that was the only difference for me. As long as im not in pain I dont care the brand.

I've heard St. Petes being out of the Watson and are using white generic 10/325 from Ables Laboratories with the marking of A328.

I received Able brand Norcos once and actually preferred them....they were very fresh and extremely effective.

I've heard of a few places that were on shortage with the normal watson 10/325.. I forget what post it was on, but someone said they recieved the blue watson 10/500, when in fact they were supposed to recieve the yellow 10/325.. This was an account from St.Peter's, so I dont' know about the other one.. Plus I don't remember the person that wrote this, so I can't confirm...

beans, I got my refill from Kens #004 on the 9th 0f this month. They were watsons. At that time they didn't have a shortage because I asked them. There are 5 Kens, maybe the one that fills your script had trouble getting them in. turcica

Just received my latest MVW refill, from the Ken Drugs #4 in Tampa. Watson 10/325 this time.
Last time around they sent me the Qualitest (with the "V" on one side), which I didn't even notice until halfway through the script, as they are the same yellow color as Norco and Watson. They were just fine, although I'm glad to be back to the Watson brand.

boo, just an FYI, when I talked to the guy at Kens I specifically asked if they were sending out Watsons. I also said if they didn't have the watsons I wanted the trade Norco's (even though I would pay alot for them). If you have any more refills, ask what they will be sending. They might just send the others out if they don't know you have a preference, JMO. turcica
