Difference Between Yellow Hydrocodone Acetaminophen With 1096 Vs White Pill Same Strength But U03. Both Say Sub For Norco. (Page 5) (Top voted first)

Updated

Just want to know difference between both pills, beside Manufacturers. I was taking Hydocodone-Acetaminophen 10-325 yellow pill #1096 on one side a V on other side. I was then switched to a white oval pill with the same strength, but has U03 on one side. both say substituted for Norco.

I prefer the Watson brand the first time that I took the white ones were in the hospital and I did not care for them at all would prefer to have my Watson brand Vicodin back Pharmacy says they are having a hard time keeping it in stock so that's why they went to the white ones don't like the others at all

FDA has required all Norco or generic to be ONLY ONES contain 325 mg of acetaminophen due to people trashing their liver.

CVS has the yellow pills. I always ask, and in some cases, they will order. CVS does not honor certain RX coupons though, or at least mine doesn't.

The yellow w/v on them are not made by Watson ..... they were made by qualatest in Alabama but that company was bought by par pharmicuticles which I think have factory in New York but are headquartered in Ireland

The yellows are not Watson, they are Par Pharmaceuticals manufactured in their Alabama plant (formerly Qualitest). Par bought them last year and Watson was purchased by a Brazilian company 2-3 years ago.

There are many different manufacturers of generic pharmaceutical meds. There should be a 3-4 letter abbreviated name down at the name and strength area of your script label... That is to say what manufacturer produced that specific script. The yellows with the v that were made by qualitest (now owned by par) are still made in alabama but par also has a plant in new york that makes white 10/325. In my opinion the new york ones do not work (for me anyway) so my advice is look on an older script bottle and get the manufacturers name and find a pharmacy that carries them or will order them for you... If that doesn't work ask doctor to write a script brand specific and daw..... As you prob guessed I've been in chronic pain a long time.... Hope you can get the proper meds that work for you... If you feel euphoria from the meds they are not the right ones.

I'm use to taking the yellow norcos or the white Watson for some reason when I take the white 176 it makes me sick why if they are all the same strength and milgram 10/325 but when I take the yellow norcos and the white Watson it helps me so much better but today I went to fill my prescription and they gave me the u03 and I was upset because I have never seen them before and I didn't think it would work but I get home and take 2 and it helped my pain but why is it when I take the white 176 it makes me sick!

I have heard they are doing away with the yellow generic of norco because people seeking them out to buy or to sell will not be as likely to know what to look for.

That is ridiculous. That's not it at all! If someone was buying yellow, green or blue pills off someone and they get switched they are still gonna buy from that person. lmao

No the yellow are stronger. So would it causes you to want to take more than prescribed.

When my Pharmacy gave me a generic for Hydrocodone that didn't work the same, I called around until I found a Pharmacy that stocked a brand I wanted. Hopefully, that will remedy your problem too. Good luck!

the yellow are 10/325 made by qualifest distributed by par pharmacuticals if you look at the rigbt of the strength you will see a few letters that is the code for manufacteror my pharmacy acuatally say qualitest but beware par also has plant in ny that makes white 10/325 that dont perform as well .... if you call pharmacy ask if they carry the yellow qualitest made in alabama for par pharmasuticals .... be well

Agree with genius back when I was taking hydrocodone for pain on a regular basis I got the yellow generic ones which were okay from CVS and I got white ones from Walmart not sure of the manufacturer I think they said it was the same one as the yellow but I found them to be not nearly as effective. The FDA allows generic drug manufacturers two very the active ingredient by what percentage that I forgot.

After being lied to by the pharmacy for years I did my own investigation and there are cheap crap pills and ones a little better but just like your food products, there's a big difference in generic and name brand. If generic is the same why don't we have generic gas for our cars? Because they wouldn't run that's why. It's all in the name of their bottom line. I told my doctor after 5 years of playing the games with the hydrocodone wars that I wanted something else that will work for the pain, he put me on 15my Oxycodones. A tiny pill with just medication none of the dangerous Tylenol in it and I don't take as many now. They work great. I don't even shop for anything at Walgreens anymore after almost pulling the pharmacist over the counter for giving me the cheapest crap they can find to sell. Those of you that think there is a difference in the meds...you're right, there is. Don't let those money hungry fools lie to you anymore. I have a pharmacy in the small town I live in that only carry generics no name brand. If your on heart medication they have you take two generics to one name brand, why is that you suppose. I don't buy generic food because if you open a can of green giant peas and a can of red white and blue peas you can see and taste the difference. I think until we stand up and start creating a problem like I do they will just keep screwing us because we hurt and they want to make maximum profits off of us. Its a shame what our government allows to happen to us. I hope they clean out the whole white house and start over with people that know the difference in right and being a p.o.s. to people that are sick and hurt. And to the pharmacists that hear everyday that those pills don't work compared to the other ones that did - don't be retarded, the whole country isn't that stupid, why do you have to be?
