Mylan
Reviews and Complaints
The Mylan 5% lidocane patches, are unusable and extremely inferior, the poorest quality manufacturer of this product.
I depend on the pain relief that the 5% lidocaine provide. I have used Activs brand they worked okay in relieving pain.
Then my pharmacy Rite Aide switched to Mylan brand which as everyone has already said is a waste of money, doesn't relieve pain and doesn't stay on. It was suggested I switch to a pharmacy that doesn't distribute Mylan. I switched to Costco over 10 yrs ago, never was given Mylan, I figured Mylan went out of business because their product is laughable with no return customers, customers try it once and done. Well, I went to pick up my prescription at Costco today, they tried to give me Mylan.
I told the associate don't ring it up I was not accepting that brand. I talked to the Pharmacist, he said they have an extreme amount of complaints on Mylan, and they just started using that brand. I told him I needed these patches for severe pain relief, and Mylan does not relieve pain. He gave me another brand that was more like the activis brand in presentation but the jury is still out as to how well they work.
If u go to the pharmacy and they try to give u a little skinny box that says Mylan do not take it.
Ask for another brand if they can't provide one go to another pharmacy. The one that works the best is the Rhodes brand they are amazing.
My question though is why isn't something being done about the Mylan brand? What they are doing is not only misleading, but more importantly stealing from the consumer, and insurance Companies. They are committing fraud, in distributing they pharmacyquestion does not work, does.
not relieve pain, and does not stick. Which is frauding customers!
User's recommendation: Do not accept Mylan Patches go elsewhere! Do not accept Mylan patches go to another phar from your p

Questions on medication diazepam Mylan 5 mg pills
I dont know if theyre being changed for some law or whatever but these they dont work like they used to and its like taking a placebo youre lucky if you get a good one that works for you and thats not fair Im paying good money to go to the doctor , I suffer from anxiety. disorder..
I knowmylan have combined with Teva and one other company. I remember I used to take one and it would work within 10 or 15 minutes and I could relax. Now I take one and its like I didnt take anything at all and this is not the first time this is happened either the pharmacies arent closing the bottles correctly. Or something is being removed from the pills out of the medicine and Im not immune to the medicine because I dont take it all the time, so somethings not right I feel like bringing them to a lab to have them tested .
By the way, do you have quality control for these substances or they just go out the door like that? and to clarify, Im not a pissed off customer Im a very discouraged, customer. If this continues, I will bring them back to the pharmacy and let them keep them and Ill get my money back. Thats all its unfair.
I suffered a nervous breakdown and its not helping me concerned customer. Make them the way you did before and I see other people that are saying the same thing you guys did something maybe a 5 mg is really a 1 mg now that doesnt work my book thats why I feel like having them tested at the lab
User's recommendation: Please manufacture them the same way you did before when they worked because they do not work now I feel like I’m getting placebo’s and I will not stand for that

User's recommendation: DO NOT BUY its not worth your time and frustration.

Lidocaine Patch Doesn't stick at all. Useless and expensive!
This is criminal. These patches do not stick at all and cost more than every other drug i am taking for chronic illness.
They are impossible to separate from the film. There is still a hard film on the top of the patch so after you apply it it is too rigid to stick anywhere on your body. Cleaning doesn't help. Tape doesn't help.
They don't stick so the medicine doesn't get into your body. so taping the edges to your skin does little to nothing.
- Does not stick
- Terrible product that wont stick to skin as advertised
User's recommendation: Demand an alternate brand.

Referred to you by pharmacist. I was prescribed transdermal system ,usp continuous delivery (once weekly) estradiol 0.1 mg/day.
Did not adhere to my skin. Where the instruction had said to do so. I lost 2 patches within a day or two. Actually didnt know it fell off until I found my puppy chewing in it.
Thank God she was fine. Shes not the one that needs it. I do.
Please can you send replacements. This prescription is not inexpensive.
Thank you for your quick response.

Verified ReviewerMylan Lidocaine patches suck
If I could give 0 stars for this product I would. These patches do NOT stick!!
I want my $94.40 back!!! Ive used lido patches before from this company that were made of cloth that worked perfectly but as every big pharma company does they cheap out and change the product to save a buck!! They went with a cheap plastic patch that doesnt stick and is useless!! I will be calling your customer service on Monday expecting a better product or a refund!!!
This product is complete trash!!! I am having to tape something that is made to stick in its own Why must companies screw the customer just to get richer???
- Terrible product that wont stick to skin as advertised
- Do not stick
- Patch quality
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Do not buy Mylan products
False advertising
The patch contains a total of 140 Mg of lidocaine, meaning it contains 1/5 the amount of adhesive it should. It does not stick and does not work.
A 5% patch contains 5 Mg per gram of adhesive.
If the total dose is not the same, you are not getting enough adhesive or drug. It should contain 700 Mg per patch, as in the brand Lidoderm, Qualitest/Par or Actavis.
User's recommendation: Check total dose and ask for Qualitest or Par

Inquiry to find out what can be done with expired ALBUTEROL sULFATE iN HALATION sOLUTION
Recently moved and found meds in back of closet so not to get into wrong hands.
I have one box expired Dec. 2019
Three boxes expired September 2020
Five boxes expired August 2020..
Rather than losing this medication I was hoping to replace it with current up to date meds.
Your Customer Service Person, Taylor, flat no, program for exchange or discount, my loss.
Asked to speak to her manager, he is probably not able to speak to you, comes back on line and tells me exactly that.
I asked for his boss: Ashley, Director of Customer Relations, refused to give last name or transfer me to her. All of a sudden her boss was availablel, I declined stating we are past that already.
Lidocaine patches 5%
Junk. If I would've spent my own money on this , I would've returned them to the store.
However I will be letting my insurance company know that they need to get reimbursed because these patches won't even stick on my body with medical tape or a wrap.
My pain is unreal and I was excited to try these, but I'm more frustrated than ever before. You should be ashamed to sell something this ***
User's recommendation: DO NOT USE THESE.

Verified ReviewerAppalled with Mylan’s lidocsine patches not sticking!
I've used lidocaine patches by Actavis for over 10 yrs for hip and spine problems for which surgery results would be poor for me. Actavis patches are wonderful, they stick great, theyre thick yet soft and easy to use.
I recently got a prescription filled with the Mylan patches and they are pitiful compared to the Actavis brand: thin, noisy cheap and thin and NOT adhere to my normal skin. Why?!?!?! We need effective and reliable pain relief tools! Mylan, PLEASE fix your quality deficiencies asap.
Most insurance should cover your patches even if you approve them and have to raise your price a little. Only an improved product would be worth it
Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution
User's recommendation: REQUEST great Mylan patches instead!
