3605 V

I use to be on generic Lortab. 7.5 and my doctor switch the medicine to Norco 7.5 (V 36 05). I still don't get any relief. I looked it up and its the same med as the Lortab. Something seems shady, is he trying to trick me.

First of all, your doctor has no control over which tablet your pharmacy has in stock and fills your prescription with. Your doctor can only designate certain things, such as you only get the brand name and/or that you only get tablets or capsules, but not from what company, so you doctor had no way of knowing you'd be getting the one with this marking, when you got your prescription filled. That is entirely up to your pharmacy and which one they have in stock.

Just as an example, to ensure that I'm explaining this clearly, to make sure that I can split my dose up throughout the day to find a regimen that works for me to alleviate the worst of my symptoms, my doctor specifically wrote one of my prescriptions for tablets and my pharmacy has to honor that, since it is what the doctor has ordered… but there are several tablets on the market available in the same dosage, there's one by Teva Pharmaceuticals, one by Par Pharmaceuticals and one by Barr Laboratories….and my doctor can't pick a specific one of those and tell my pharmacy that they have to fill my prescription with it. Designating that it has to be a tablet is as specific as she can go in that respect.

And it doesn't matter if he wrote one prescription for Lortab and you got the generic, then the next for Norco and you got a generic, it still amounts to the same thing.

Additionally yes, as you've discovered, they are both the same and contain 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

You said that you still don't get any relief, so do you mean that they weren't working before, either?
