Is the peach oval pill with 36 52 on it the same strength as a yellow watson norco? ## The orange tablet with the V 3605 marking contains 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, but the yellow name brand Norco tablet contains 10mgs of the Hydrocodone. This medication is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation and dizziness. Learn more Norco details here. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi scorpio530, I've identified pill ID "V 36 05" as Acetaminophen (325 mg) + Hydrocodone (7.5 mg). It is an oval peach pill like you described, and is manufactured by Qualitest pharmaceuticals. National Drug Code (NDC): 00603-3891 I've also identified a yellow oval...

I am a 38yo female. 120lbs. I just had my tonsils out today and am in some pain but not a lot... My Dr prescribed 2 Norco 7.5/325 every 6 to 8 hours for pain. I have found that 6 hours is a pretty long time for me... I even have a hard time with 4 hours.... And 2 pills are WAY too much... I'm good with one really, could probably cut that in half as it is... I'm wondering if I can take .5 to 1 every 3 hours instead of 2 every 6 hours? ## While this medication may work for severe pain, there is some amount of soreness that nothing is really going to relieve for awhile. I had mine out, just before my 21st birthday, so I know how miserable it can be. As to the medication, you can safely cut it in half, but I'd not recommend not changing the dosing schedule, without asking your d...

I take Norco for my pains that I have and I found this pill but don't remember if it is a Norco or not ## So I was wondering if the pill I found is one of my Norco ## Hi Mart, What you have is listed as a generic for Norco, containing hydrocodone bitartrate 5mg + acetaminophen 325mg. I actually answered this question in another thread here just the other day, where someone else also confirmed it to be true: Discuss/-305911_s2.htm Seems to be a new version that Actavis came out with recently as information online is limited. Hope this helps! ## Yes,they are 5/325's,( B")hydrocodone/acetaminophen.. ## Does it make you sleepy it makes me sleepy why bitrare? I wonder

I take norco 7.5/325 and every time I test for it it's not there. Can you help me with an answer? ## Maybe it's because you truly are not taking it!!! Maybe it is a placebo. Is there anybody around that has access to your meds? If so they can be replacing them with look a like pills & taking the real ones without your knowledge. If you do have somebody that possibly could be taking them wait about 1 wk after you get new script & take the pills to a different pharmacy & have them checked..Maybe your pharmacist is giving you the placebo pills/which are usually nothing but sugar pills. I don't trust anybody & I don't care what title or job they have..GOOD LUCK..KEEP ME POSTED ## If take oxycodone but I ran out of them and I took norco will it come out in the...

boise, idaho doctors willing to prescribe heavier pain medication ## We just moved to the Boise area. My husband is disabled and has chronic pain, needing Norco, but thanks to the DEA no one seems to want to prescribe it to him. Please help.

Ok, I don't care what people say, pharmacy or manufacturer, the yellow norcos are stronger and work different. It is getting extremely more and more difficult to find the yellow norcos. From what I can tell, the major pharmacy's, ie: WalMart, cvs, Walgreens, target, etc, all have either the plain white ones, it the white ones with reddish/pinkish dots on them, and the smaller mom and pop(good neighborhood pharmacy's) have the yellow. Last month I filled mine at target, got the white oblong norcos (10/325). Today, I filled mine at a small good neighborhood pharmacy in Ontario, California, name available upon request, and I got the yellow Watson Norco. Again, huge difference. I don't think they quit making them, I just think that when buying in bulk as a large pharmacy doe...

who manufactures the best version of Norco? ## I think "Watson" brand. I have tried norco that were white and 10/325, not sure of brand. However, it did not seem as potent. ## You will most likely get a different answer from anyone that posts a response, though some may concur if they've taken the same ones. However, just like anything else in life, medications can have different effects on different people, so what works well for one person may not work well for you and vice-versa. I've taken the Vicodin manufactured by Vitange/Qualitest and had no complaints about it, if anything it was too potent for me, but there are also posts on here from people that didn't have a good experience with it. You really have to find the one that works best for you. Are there any ot...

What Drug Store sell these in Northridge, Ca and what is the difference, if any ## I'm sorry, but there is no central listing to let anyone know what drug store carries a medication from any given manufacturer. Learn more Norco details here. Even attempting to create such a database would be a virtually impossible task, since such information is dynamic. Most pharmacies will stock whichever one their supplier was offering at the cheapest price. As to the difference, what are you wanting to compare them to? ## I live in Diamond Bar, and the only pharmacy I can get the yellow Norcos at is Walgreens. Those work the absolute best for me!!! Can't find them anywhere but there!! ## Google the number & letters on the pill. That will tell you what brand. The yellow ones your looking ...

How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. Unfortunately, we are now into the time of year when shortages of controlled substances usually occur, due to mandatory manufacturing limits. Once a manufacturer reaches their yearly allotted limit, they cannot manufacture any new product, until after the new year. Each year, demand inevitably exceeds supply and there are shortages ...

Is the norco 10/325 176 made by Sun Pharmaceuticals stronger than the norco 10/325 Watson brand? I was taking Watson and they gave me 176. ## Hello, Debbie! How are you? While there can be differences between generic medications, as permitted by the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984, what it really comes down to is what works for you. Have you tried taking this one, yet? If so, has it been helping you? The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. ## In my opinion, the Watson brand works so much better than the one imprinted with 176. I've taken both and much prefer the Watsons. ## I finally found a Norco 10/325 that works by Sun manuf. I used to take Watson brand but th...

I have been on pain management for 10 years due to severe car wreck. I have taken all of the generic brands in the past and to me the yellow watsons r the best followed by qualitest with the mallins not worth taking. So last month i go to docs get scripts and go to walgreens to get my norcs, i get my pills and notice that they were white, So i take a couple and nothing, i take two more,nothing! So im stuck with them all month and everytime i took them nothing, Watson is now Activis or whatever, All i know is that they r not watson norcos, they might have the name and numbers but they r not the real deal. So this month i went to a different pharmacy that sells the qualitest yellow norcs with the v on them. They r waay better than the white watson/activis norcs. So from now on, i will get...

Hello everybody. I'm new to this site. I have a couple of questions. .. im sorry if I'm in the wrong place or am asking the wrong question a but after a few Google searches this seemed to be the best forum for me to post in. I'm a 34 year old male from southern california. I have had a herniated disc in my back since 2006. I was getting treated for it back then when I had insurance. .. that was of course before my job caught Wind of my injury to which they quickly notified our "risk management' dept. And they quickly made a case to try and get rid of me due to me being a liability for a potential workers comp case. Long story short they were successful. I lost my job, insurance, pride, etc. amongst a bunch of other things. So I had to take odd jobs all of which were ...

I had a tooth pulled, and was taking norco 10/325, celebrex 100mg, xanax 0.5mg and amoxicillin at the same time at night for a week. One day I woke up turning my head to see the time and my head started to go into a spin. ## Any of these medications could cause dizziness as a side effect, it can even be worsened by taking them all together, according to NIH reports. Other side effects may include nausea, headache, diarrhea, and irritability. How are you feeling, now? Has there been any change?

Went from Vicodins 750's to Norco after knee replacement surgery. My Norco is the generic and my urine smells terrible. Anyone notice this side affect? ## It's a fairly common occurrence, due to the fact that you're adding a chemical to your body, plus the tablets can also contain some fillers and your body uses your urine and feces to process them out. Learn more Norco details here. However, you should keep an eye on it and if it gets really severe, or if you start to see signs of pus in your urine or experience pain or burning, then it may be a UTI and you should seek medical assistance.

Hi. I want to know what Norco 176 look like before I take it. Please send me a pic of it. Thank you. ## I need to know what the Norco 176 look like and if they are fake. ## I have the next best thing to a photograph and that is a legitimate pill description for the generic Norco 176 tablet containing 10mgs of Hydrocodone bitartrate + 325mgs of Acetaminophen: - White oval shaped pill with 176 on one side and scored on the back - Reported to be approximately 13.00 mm in size - Manufactured by Sun Pharma - Carries a National Drug Code of 57664-0176 As far as a proper imprint identification goes, this should satisfy your concerns. However, I sense that the only reason to question whether they are fake is if you didn't get them with a prescription through a licensed pharmacy and decided ...

How many days should 14 norcos that I'm supposed to take every 4-6 hours last me until I can ask for a refill? ## Hello, Nato! How are you? How was it prescribed, are you supposed to take it as needed, or does it tell you to take them regularly? I need this additional information in order to answer your question. The FDA classifies this medication as narcotic analgesic, so it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. ## I have $120 for that the doctor gave me he told me to take one every 4 to 6 hours how many days should that last me

Doctor going to try this for me.I have diabetic neurophopy. ## Hello, Marie! How are you? Was it possibly Norco that your doctor mentioned? It is a narcotic analgesic that contains a combination of Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone, so there is a risk of it being habit forming and it can cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Learn more Norco details here. ## Is it safe to take hydrocodone while also taking Mobic? ## Brenda, There is no listed contraindications between these two substances but as ALWAYS YOU SHOULD CONFIRM THIS WITH YOUR PRESCRIBER since they are best equipped to handle this inquiry. I hope that answers your question adequately .Regards, Kenie.

After taking Norco 7.5/325 for 8 years, can you become immune to them? ## Yes, your body can become tolerant to any medication that you take in the same dosage for a long period of time, though the exact time span it occurs can vary from person to person, according to the NIH. Usually, such a situation requires a dosage change, or a switch to a different medication. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?
