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.

Watson hydrocodne/APAP is, last time I needed one, a quality product.

In many states, you can get the generics yourdoc expresses a preference for in this way:
PT: DRJoey
Address, etc.
RX: Hydrocodone10mg/APAP 650mg — Watson or Endo or Sandoz
Dis. #120
Sig: 1 po q4-6h PRN pain.
They'll have to honor the first choice if available and, if not the 2nd choice, etc. Ask your doc please not use brand names.
I had apatient from whom prescribed generic Percocet10/325 years ago, WE were both n a hurry and held me the pharmacy stocked only Endo generics, so I let it go. A few hours later, I get a get from the same HONEST patient telling me "THIS S--T DOESN"T FREA WORK." It wasn't any of my choices of generic manufacturers!

Sandy J , Tylenol isn't prescribed for inflammation. Drugs like Ibuprofen and Naproxen are among two of the anti inflammatory meds. Ibuprofen comes in 800 mg by prescription.

It don't have the same amount of hydrocodone as the yellow it should be out lawed for them to give them out !

Ray (# 108) --
You're just a bunk trying to stir up bull. When you become a doctor then you can judge! It sounds as if you don't have a life, so you might need to get one instead of judging others that have medical problems. Sounds like you're an addict trying to deny it. Pray you don't have to live in pain as most of us do!

Re: Long road (# 113)
Thus a diabetic and organ transplant and those with high blood pressure are addicts to their meds as well since they have to continue taking them daily or they may die from not taking them - the word addict comes with predetermined connotations and although pain patients may technically be addicted they do not fit the definition of addict (compulsive need for and use of a habit-forming substance such as opiates, nicotine, or alcohol, characterized by tolerance and by well-defined physiological symptoms upon withdrawal; broadly: persistent compulsive use of a substance known by the user to be harmful). Pain patients do not take opioids because of a compulsion. They take them for a medically inclined reason due to a flaw in their body, just as those mentioned above - and just for the record there are times I stay in bed and try to not take my pain meds and I have yet to go into sweats and have major stomach cramps (I follow my prescription directions very closely and do not over-medicate nor do I supplement with alcohol or other drugs). The key is to follow directions and understanding the pain will never be gone completely and try to not take them (when you can) so they maintain their usefulness.

Re: Jenzbme (# 97)
I too have been taking the Yellow Qualitest brand for 2 years for my cancer pain. When my CVS pharmacy switched 2 months ago to the white U03, I could tell the difference within days. I kept thinking maybe I was getting worse or something else was wrong.
I'm sooooo angry that this is happening and without our knowledge; all for the sake of their profit. I just called 5 different pharmacies till I found one that still stocks the Qualitest; a small non-chain pharmacy!

BL, thank you for your response. After I made the post, I realized the post I made was in relationship to an older post (maybe 2 yrs. old). My prescription is for 10/325. Sometimes physicians also may prescribe 800 mg Tylenol for inflammation and a patient would really need to be aware of the amounts they may consume.
