Lortab Drug Information
(Newest replies first)

I can't remember which one of my meds is the Lortab and which is the Hydrocodone. One is an oval blue pill that says Watson 540 and the other is white and says M363. Can anyone help me?

Do painkillers like lortab make your blood thick? Because when I take them my blood seems thicker, but whenever I've not had any my blood seems thinner.

Is the white pill with M363 which is generic. Is the name brand which is pink with ucb 910 stronger than the white generic M363?

Yes, both of the tablets mentioned contain 10mgs of Hydrocodone and 500mgs of Acetaminophen, generics for Lortab, Norco or Vicodin.

The detail I'd like to add for any future viewers of this post is that a recent request by the FDA has manufacturers lowering the amount of Acetaminophen in all of these combination prescription medications to a maximum of only 325mgs per dose.

The reasons given are the risks of organ damage/failure that can be associated with long-term use and the risk of overdose toxicity.

Learn more Vicodin details here.

Some manufacturers have already begun to implement the change and the rest are expected to have it done by January of 2014. Thus, please do not assume that these tablets still contain 500mgs of Acetaminophen, make sure to double check the current information.

Are there any comments or questions?

The M363 is 10mg hydrocodone with 500 mg acetaminaphine. It is manufactured by the company Mallinckrodt. I was getting this at Wal-Mart pharmacy. Maybe its just pscychological but it seemed to me the Watson generic worked much better. Thats the blue oval Watson 540 you mentioned . Its also 10 mg hydrocodone & 500 mg acetaminaphine. I changed pharmacies so i could get the blue Watson instead of the Mallincrodt also known as Mall Chem. FDA assures both must contain the 10 mg hydrocodone & 500 mg acetaminaphine but the binders & fillers can differ which could possibly affect the utilization of the active ingredients in the body. This is all in my own opinion & Watson is the way to go. Consider the M363 Mallinckrodt is the cheapest generic hydrocodone out there. To me its a poor qaulity version. So my advice is go blue.

Hi Kim. The blue pill (Watson 540) is lortab, and the white one with M363 is 10mg of hydrocodone. Both pills are essentially the same. They both contain 10mg of generic hydrocodone and 500mg of acetaminaphin (tylenol). I hope this helps you!
