Lortab Forums (Page 12)

pictures ## I'm just going to take a wild stab here and guess that this person was most likely asking about the medication Lortab, which contains the active ingredients Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone. It is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Learn more Lortab details here. Are there any comments or concerns?

Would like to know about the generic name for Loratab. ## I don't guess I know that although I've been prescribed Lortab a couple of times in the past. Perhaps Hydrocodone? ## It is hydrocodone. Vicodin is 5/325, Vicodin ES is 7.5/325, and Lortab or Lorcet is 10/325 ## A generic prescription for lortab 7.5mg is Hydrocodone/APAP 7.5-500 ## found a pill don't know what it is. its white ovel # mp 424 ## Yes, the APAP is medical speak for Acetaminophen, so the active ingredients in Lortab, Lorcet, Norco and Vicodin are Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone. The Hydrocodone is a narcotic, so it does have the potential to be habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Learn more Vicodin details here. The tablet with the...

what,s the difference in shapes and colors of poiassium pills and lortabs ## To glance at them, some of them actually look very similar and it could be easy to mix them up. And as to pointing out the specific differences, since they are both available as generics, there's really no way to list all of them on here. They all have different markings on the tablets to enable them to be identified, according to dosage and manufacturer. The color is really entirely up to their whit and whim. You can learn more Potassium details here and you can learn more Lortab details here. Thus, if you have tablets that you are unsure of, please post and include as much detail as possible, such as the shape, color, approximate size and all markings on them. That will enable someone to check for you and...

A friend recently found a pill at her house that she asked me to help her identify. I have checked through my pharmaceutical "Drug Handbook," looked all over the net, and spoke with a pharmacist, all with no luck. The pharmacist said that there database showed no such pill or anything close. Weird huh? The pill is a SOLID WHITE TABLET, it seems to have a slight wax coating (not powdery), & deeply scored on both sides. The shape is oblong or rectangle with rounded edges, much like a Lortab. The ONLY inscription is 1 2 on the front (numbers separated by the score), and nothing on the back. I've never been unable to identify a medication before, so I am thinking it may be from Mexico or somewhere else. She has children and is concerned, and now it's bugging the heck out...

perkcet ## Is it possible that you are reading it incorrectly and the marking is V 3601? If so, then this is actually a generic for Lortab or Vicodin, NOT PERCOCET! The main difference is that this one contains Hydrocodone, coupled with the Acetaminophen, rather than the Oxycodone. Side effects may include; nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth.

i have been on lortab 10/500 the pink ones and i went to get it filled at cvs and when i got home and looked they were white i called and the said that were recalled the ones that they gave are not the same ## You mean that they don't work as well for you, or someone at the pharmacy said they aren't equivalent? Learn more Lortab details here. Are there any markings on them, or do you know who the manufacturer is? ## They are beginning the push to remove all hydro/apap meds that have 325mg of tylenol or more. Vicodin has already discontinued theirs, lortab is next, then lorcet. ## I have been taking lortab for a few years now for my pain. My Doctor did some blood & urine screening. Also ordered an mri on my left knee,well , before my next dr. visit, I got a certified letter s...

Does lortab 5/500. Test the same as lortab 10/325 ## Yes, they both contain the narcotic Hydrocodone, coupled with Acetaminophen and will be detected the same in a urine test. The only time you may encounter a problem is if they also check the levels of it that are in your urine, rather than just looking for the presence of the drug. Learn more Vicodin details here. Are there any other questions I can help with? ## I am a 28 year old female and I weight 150lbs and I'm 5'2. Over the last 3 weeks I have been taking about 6 lortab tens a day. I quit on this past Saturday, and Sunday and today(Monday) the withdrawals were so bad I took some. I am out again and have a urine test on this Thursday. My metabolism is OK and I am very active at work and sweat alot. Should it be out of my ...

long white caplet ## i found a long white pill with M358 on it in my son's pocket...what is it, shat does it do? ## looks like a lortab to me. it's a pain medication, so unless your son is hurt he's trying to get high. ## Yes, this is without a doubt Hydrocodone. This is generic for Lortab. The strength is 7.5. I take these for severe pain (Spinal Stenosis). I pray that your son is not "hanging out" with the wrong crowd. I will pray for him! ## I need to update this post with some more details… The exact dosage of this tablet is 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone and 500mgs of Acetaminophen, which is a generic for Lortab, Vicodin or Norco.

Can u help me I need a pill that almost looks like a lortab 7.5 because my husbands got stolen by one of my friends and I need to replace before he finds out ## First of all, you didn't say which ones he has and since Lortab is available as a generic, there are quite a few on the market and they all have different markings and may look different, as well. And with that being said, since they have those unique markings, there is nothing else available that will match and fool anyone that's familiar with them. You can learn more Lortab details here. Why don't you just tell him what happened? It doesn't sound to me like someone is much of a friend, if they stole medications that he needs and I'd feel that he deserves to know that. Even if you found a way to fool him on ...

how is lortab 10.5/100 equivelant to lortab 10/625 ## I take 4 Lorbtab per day for Rheumatoid arthritis and am having lap band surgery in 5 days. I need to know if I can crush th lortab to take after surgery? And how will this affect the drug? ## which is stronger loratab 10.325 or loratag 10.500 ## There is no Acetaminophen/Hydrocodone tablet with a 10.5mg dosing of the Hydrocodone, the maximum available is 10mgs. Now as to which is stronger if the dosage of the Hydrocodone is the same in both, the strongest would be the one with the most Acetaminophen, since it potentiates the Hydrocodone. Very similar to shopping, where higher numbers mean a higher price, higher numbers when it comes to drugs mean a higher potency. I just wanted to add this here to give a clear example, since medicat...

I found a pill in my truck its tan i was told its a loratab not too sure ## Are there any markings on it? That is what would enable it to be identified, the color actually doesn't mean anything. If there are no markings, then we can actually rule it out as being a U.S. approved and manufactured Lortab tablet, since manufactured prescription medications in the U.S. are all required to have markings to enable their identification. So, if it has no markings, it is most likely just an over the counter product. Can you please get back to me and let me know if it has any markings? Thanks!

I have been a chronic low back pain patient for 3 years now and been on the lortab 10/500mg the entire time. Iv been receiving the pink V3600 lortabs, but for the last 3 months my pharmacist told me there was a recall on them. but today he had a shipment of them in, but i was getting the bpue Watson 540 lortabs and in my opinion i do know they are the same thing. but even my pharmacist told me that not only me but lits of pain patients prefer the pink to any other lortab because they seem to take effect faster and last alot longer, i go to a owner operator pharmacy instead of wapgreens because a individual pharmacy gives you the option to pick your preference you may have to pay extra as i have to pay what my inaurance does not. but i would try a individuals or family pharmacy because a...

Received the generic form of this drug ( Hydrocodone APAP 5/500 )But there was pills in the same bottle that have the number M357 and the other looks like it has a V on one side..then the other side of that pill has the number 3592.Now both of this pills are white, oblong, and can be scored in the middle. Just wondering if they are the same pill or could I have gotten some other drug that may not really be Hydrocodone APAP 5/500??????? ## yes they are both generic forms just mase by different companys, they probable ran out at 19 and used another lot bottle for the last one ## Have Orange Brown oval pill with V 5114.

its yellow and it is oval and it says watson ## I need to know if there is a yellow lortab 5mg it is oval shaped just like the white ones and it has the number 349 on it just like the white one. just want to be sure because its the first time I have seen a yellow one like this. ## No, the one with the WATSON 349 marking on it is a white oblong tablet. Learn more Lortab details here. Are you certain that the marking was the same? Lortab is a narcotic analgesic, so it does have the potential to be habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and constipation.

why take something like blue lortab and change it when it worked for choric pain is it because the drug is owned by doctors that want to keep people in pain why please tell me WHY! ## From my perspective, it's really not as complicated as it seems. The way I see it is that the pharmaceutical industry basically turns otherwise short-term pain patients into long-term customers. By keeping patient's scripts inconsistent and sometimes unreliable, they are essentially making people who are in pain feel like they "need" their services to survive. It's a total control/ego trip their on, but at the rate things are going with so many people now complaining about their meds, I doubt big pharma will stay on top for very much longer. In my opinion, the best way to stop supportin...

What are the active ingredients of Lortab? ## Its called Lortab. And its active ingrediant is Hydrocodone. Hydrocodone is an opiate pain killer. Lortab also contains Acetaminophen which is the active ingrediant in Tylenol. It is combined with Hydrocodone because it is said to intensify its effects. ## That is correct. It is narcotic pain reliever, so it does have the potential to be habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Learn more Lortab details here. Are there any questions or comments?

White Lortab is there any over the counter Meds to help it work? Meds have Been change from pink lortabs, to blue to white. Each time it gets worst. Can I take Tylenol to help, if so how much? ## No, since Lortab already contains Acetaminophen, adding more isn't advisable, because long-term use of high doses has the potential to cause liver damage or failure. Additionally, too much of it taken in a day can be toxic and there have been cases where such toxicity has been fatal. Learn more Lortab details here. Those are the main reasons that the FDA has requested that the Acetaminophen in all of these combination narcotics be lowered to a maximum of 325mgs per dosage. Some manufacturers have already begun to implement the changes and the rest are expected to have done so by January of ...
