Lortab Watson Blue Vs Lortab M363 (Page 3) (Top voted first)

Updated

My friend and I are both prescribed Lortab APAP10/500's. I get the Watson 540 blue pills and he gets the M363 white pills. I have taken the white ones before, but for some reason, it did not help me as much as the Watsons. I don't understand this. Besides the manufacturer, is there any real difference between the two different kinds of pills?

I have been taking Lortab 10 10/500 for several yrs. They have always been light blue, made by Watson. Recently, they have been white. made by Watson, same 10/500. Need to know if there is any difference.

@Dameta,

Based on my research, there are in fact blue and white versions of these pills. Someone else actually posted this same question a couple weeks ago & the only noticeable difference I could find is that some of the inactive ingredients (binders/fillers) are different due to the color/dyes. Unfortunately, the way a pill looks is entirely up to the whit and whim of the company making it, so if they want to change the color or shape of a pill, they are not required to give patients any prior notice whatsoever.

If you follow the link below and click on image #15, you'll be able to view a photo of the white version of this pill:

I hope this helps!

I also was Taking Watson540 Blue for years,Now they are da Same Shape but WHITE 540-The New Watson Whites Make me feel all weird,my stomach feels Empty and I feel sick. I have Headaches with this new ones. I decided to SWITCH from Walgreens to Walmart...Any other 10/500 is better than da New Watson 540 whites.
We should BOYCOTT da NEW WATSON 540 WHITE.

Or you just get the rest at the 3 week mark. Your doc can rewrite the script for every 21 days although most like to do the 30 day script. If he/she writes for every 21 days then your insurance will cover all of them. But if you want 30 days worth, like someone else said, you can pay for the remaining.

The lortab 10 M 363 isn't even a Watson product. It is Mallincroft. Therefore, comparing is like apples to oranges, in a way. Especially when you are talking about the new Watson formula. Just an FYI

Anyone who has taken hydrocodone for any period of time knows there is a slight deviation in feeling u get from different manufacturers. Personally I have always thought the watsons worked better for me. But I know a couple people who would rather have the white ones. Its just a difference in the binders and each individuals metabolism and amounts of food, acid, and a host of other variables. Try drinking some caffeine when u take them. It helps.

Amber u can always try get on Medicaidor try and get on ssi/ssd or if happened at work u can always go on workers comp cause they pay for everything.

Mel u can always try roxicodone its a oxycodone based pain killer with no apap or tylenol in it at all u can also try percocet its the same as hydrocodone but has oxycodone instead of the hydtocodone in it and it lasts longer based on my own experience theres also oxycontin and opanas but they are alot stronger then hydrocodone and they're also time released instead of immediate release

The yellow pills are 10.325 and manufactored by Norco. I was told you could take more of these per day due to less actetametaphen (spelled wrong)
