Are Norco Pills For Occipital Neuralgia Manufactured By Caraco Pharma Safe?

I recently had a prescription filled at cvs for Norco 10/325, mfg. caraco...... I suffer from occipital neuralgia, for over 15 years.....I don t recognize this mfg. and info on internet leaves me suspect. I feel like crap and pain is still uneffected. The norcos used to be yellow from Watson, but it seems lately the effectiveness and side effects lead me to believe they are inferior.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Though the active ingredient should be similar, different generics tend to have slight differences in terms of action, side effects.

This may be due to manufacturing techniques or the inactive ingredients added.
You may want to let your doctor and pharmacist know that this particular brand is not effective for you so that you do not get it again.

I hope this helps
