Hello, Sheila! How are you? Sorry about the confusion, I'm happy to clear this up for you.

The tablet with the M 367 marking is listed as containing 10mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, which is a generic for Lortab.

Learn more Lortab details here.

So, it is the same as what you were taking, but has a lower amount of Acetaminophen in it. Generally, if you've been taking it for awhile, your doctor will lower the dose of the Acetaminophen, due to the fact that long-term use of high amounts of it may cause liver damage, or liver failure.

But, did your doctor mention changing the dosage? They should have informed you, if so.

In a few months, all formulations of this medication will be changing, so that none of them will contain the higher amount of Acetaminophen. This was requested by the FDA due to the issues I stated above, as well as the fact that there have been several Acetaminophen overdoses. Several manufacturers have already changed their products to only contain 325mgs of Acetaminophen and the rest have reported that they will complete the change by January of 2014.

This medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
