Osmotica - Trigen generic complaints for Concerta

What is with this product? Methylphenidate hydrochloride ER. A lot of bad reviews in such a short time in market.

 

Complaints look warranted. One strength of the product was recalled in December.
Methylphenidate Hydrochloride Extended-release Tablets, USP 27 mg, 100-count bottles, Rx Only, Trigen Laboratories, LLC. Bridgewater, NJ 08807, NDC 13811-707-10. Class III RECALL - Subpotent Drug

 

What does this even mean? The product hasn’t even been launched yet. Not that I’m seeing as being a great success.

 

Where did you find the info about the recall of Trigen? I can’t find it anywhere else on the web. Did Trigen recall it or was it FDA?

Thanks!!

 

Looks like Perfom Rx has it listed on their "Drug Information Update" - January 2018.
Methylphenidate Hydrochloride Extended-release Tablets, USP 27 mg, 100-count bottles, Rx Only, Trigen Laboratories, LLC. Bridgewater, NJ 08807, NDC 13811-707-10 III Lot #: 170027A, Exp. 02/2019 Subpotent Drug Osmotica Pharmaceutical Corp 895 Sawyer Rd Marietta, GA 30062- 2257

Sounds like manufacturing boo boo. Ya think?

 

I recently filled a 90 day script for 36mg Methylphenidate ER and have never received anything besides the Alza tablets until this time. It appears the rebel was terminated as of 5/1/19. How can you find out what lot your prescription was filled from? I am unhappy with all of the reviews I have read about the subpar efficacy of the Trigen product. Moving forward I will call around before I fill my son's prescription instead of having the doctor send it electronically. I don't understand if the company did a voluntary recall how do we as consumers know if the problem had been corrected? Must they prove they fixed it to the FDA? I don't have prescription coverage so I pay out of pocket for medication so I don't want to pay $300 for substandard medicine, ugh this sucks

 

Trigen generic is horrible! I was given it once after years of either Teva or Actavis and I was so miserable And depresssed in just a week of taking it. After I had a note put in my chart that I can’t have that brand. I hate that pharmacist argue it’s the same. Trigen is not! I have never experienced that feeling on other generics and I wish they would discontinue manufacturing it

 

Oh no - the shady owners JDS and BM just keep selling off their failures (Vertical/Trigen) buying new R&D plants(osmotica) failing again-osmolex methyl 72, CRL, selling again, buying "Upneeq", changing the name of the company to Revitalid in an attempt to erase the dismal history but history repeats itself and they cannot run from ineptitude. No doubt they will go bankrupt with all the debt, the bank owns what's left of this dumpster file

 

Laughed reading this, but this is completely accurate! Changing names selling this, selling that, laying people off and repeat! Idiots run this place. HR is a joke as well!!! Especially that woman.

 

Do you mean the one that cried herself into a promotion? Squeaky wheel gets the grease. Thank God I'm getting out of this place soon! Only losers are left here
