Hello, Zettie! How are you?

White, oblong tablets with L544 on them are not Hydrocodone, nor any type of narcotic. These tablets are manufactured by Perrigo and they list them as containing 650mgs of Acetaminophen in an extended release formulation.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness and headache.

Regarding expired medications, most tablets don't become dangerous, once they are expired, but they do tend to lose effectiveness, so you should dispose of them.

Is there anything else I can help with?
