If I can't take any aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs 5 days before a procedure, can I still take hydrocodone/acetaminophen 10-325? ## You should be able to take it, unless you have been told not to do so, since it does not contain Aspirin, or any other anti-inflammatory. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, and headache. Are you on any other medications? ## I had my second de dimer blood test last week ,it was 5.3 my GP said that 5 or under would have been a better result, I have to go for another de dimer in two weeks, I am currently on Cartia 100mg since three weeks the de dimer at that time was 3.

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THIS PILL IS USED FOR -NUMBER ON PILL IS E705 ON FRONT BACK 40 ## This is 40 mg extended release Oxycodone ## It is a generic oxycontin 40mg. time released oxycodone for severe pain. ## AND THE LIGHT YELLOW,ROUND,THICK PILL WITH 40 ON ONE SIDE AND E705 ON THE OTHER IS A GENERIC 40MG OXYCONTIN? THE ONES IV SEEN ARE MORE OF A ORANGE COLOR AND SMALLER JUST LIKE THE NAME BRAND ACTUALLY EXCEPT WITH DIFFERENT NUMBERS ON ONE SIDE. THIS ONES MUCH BIGGER AND ALMOST A CREAMYELLOW COLOR. POISON CONTROL DIDNT EVEN HAVE IT IN THEIR COMPUTER. ## Just to add some details, the generic versions of Oxycontin are no longer available in the U.S. The FDA had them removed from the market and has now restricted manufacturing to only the name brand produced by Purdue. This was done due to t...

I have been on hydrocodone 10/325 for a while the pill # M367 Thursday got a new prescription I received Hydrocodone pill # G036 I knew when I took the first pill there was a difference I was dizzy,nauseous, and had severe diarrhea went to pharmacy where they said it's the same medicine I've been taking I don't know anyone else have or had this problem??? ## Those can be normal side effects of this medication, the FDA also warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, other side effects may include vomiting, headache, and dry mouth. Has anything changed? The tablet with the marking G 036 actually is listed by the manufacturer, Tris Pharma, as containing only 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. Thus, it is a lower dosage, so you could also be experienc...

I've got a tooth infection and the dentist prescribed me 1-2 generic norco 7.5-325 every 6 hours. Can I take two like it says and be absolutely ok? I've just read that the usual dose is 1 every 4-6 hrs... ## The dosing can depend on the level of pain someone is in, some people might need to take 2 for relief, while others don't. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. Have you tried taking it, yet? Are you on any other medications? ## 1-1/2 works too it takes about an hour to start working, you may want to take every 5 hours. ## Oh god, I feel your pain, I have had some of the worst abscessed toothaches ever, with my face swollen all the way up the...

Pharmacy recently changed my generic 5 mg / 325 pills. The original capsule-shaped, white, U15 imprint (Aurolife pharma llc - pill search result) to a round, white, 512 imprint (Mallinckrodt inc - also pill search result). The "new" pill also has "APAP" on the label; I can't say for certain the original (U15) had that designation, though it may have. The "new" pill makes me feel "differently", and not in a good way. Before I speak with my pharmacist, I wanted to understand why or how they might cause this difference. ## Both of the tablets you've mentioned contain 5mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, so they are the same. APAP is just medical speak for Acetaminophen, so that's not anything different or new. This is a narcotic analges...

Hi. I have been taking Dilaudid ER pills for several years now. I do not abuse them and take around 4 of the 8mg pills a day. I cannot find any information online regarding the sexual side effects that Dilaudid may have for females. It seems to be that reaching an orgasm is near impossible now... I am also on Opana so I am trying to figure out which is the culprit. Maybe they both are contributing factors but maybe there is information out there in the community that can help me. I have never had this problem before and it is frustrating me a lot. Any insight or advice would be appreciated. ## Eh man, it's the opana.

Ok. I know that they are obviously safe to consume- BUT I put one open and not only is my mouth numb, it is on FIRE and nothing so far (15 min) is helping it subside.... Any ideas? Am I ok or did I burn my mouth? Like wtf!? Thank you. ## Mandy, The ib 200 orange gel pill you consumed is an ibuprofen used for pain relief. Before getting into the details I want to state that it is never advisable to administer medication in a way that is not instructed. Getting to the point, because our stomachs are acidic the capsules have a very strong base to ensure your stomach does not destroy the active ingredients in the medicine to perform their function. The base used in this gel pill has a "burning" sensation that should subside over time with no permanent damage. I very strongly advise ...

I received results from a hair follicle drug test and I'm not sure what the levels mean. The test showed positive for expanded opiates, more specifically oxycodone. The level was around 3900 pg/mg. The test was for 90 days. What does this mean about the tested person's drug use? ## It really depends on what information you're looking for in response to your question. For instance, if they haven't been prescribed Oxycodone, so they aren't supposed to be taking it, then the detection of any would be considered a failure of the test. However, if you're asking what the level means according to the dosage they're taking if it's been prescribed, then only their prescribing doctor can provide you with that information, because there are many factors that go into...

I found a red and white capsule lying on my carpet. The white half has an L imprinted. The red half has a B. It's not ibuprofen, tylenol or benadryl, the only drugs we have in the house. One of our guests must have dropped it, and as they are all teens and preteens, just want to make sure no one is using something they shouldn't be. ## What did you find out about this pill? I just found it in my house. My daughter brought it from my ex's house ## Anyone knows what this capsule is? It's white on one end with the letter L imprint and red on the other end with a B imprint.

I took one dose of Lyrica, got dizzy, double vision, shaking and was transported by ambulance to the hospital. They confirmed I had a seizure disorder from taking Lyrica. Anyone else experience this? ## Lyrica is the 'med from heck', as far as I'm concerned. I've had reactions to meds, but nothing like the one to this med! Normally I know right away if a med is going to cause a problem for me, but Lyrica was different. I took it for 14 days, and on the 15th day, my husband found me sobbing uncontrollably, screaming, being totally irrationational, etc. ....all while hollaring at him to 'do something'. I totally lost it, and couldn't control myself. (my normal demeanor is a calm cool, collected person, who takes the time to educate herself about everything she ...

Can't find what these two pills are. Found them in a car. It's an oval shaped white pill with 553 on one side and blank on the other. ## I also found two white oblong pills with 533 only on one side no markings on the other. Can you identify them for me please? Thank you for your time ## @Tina -- Is there any chance that the imprint is S53 as opposed to 553? According to DailyMed, a white oval pill with S53 on one side that's reportedly identified as an Extra Strength Headache Relief tablet, containing a combination of acetaminophen (250 mg) + aspirin (250 mg) + caffeine (65 mg).

i have been having a very strong toothach and i went to the doctor and he prescribed this tabs for me and any time i took it the pains comes down but i feel very week ## Oxycodone is a narcotic pain reliever, the FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, and headache. Penicillin is classified by the FDA as an antibiotic that is used to treat, or prevent bacterial infections. Its typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. How are you doing, now? Has there been any change? Are you on any other medications?

I have been on 4 bottles per month for over 6 years. My primary care doctor no longer sees patients and his nurse practitioner sees all of his patients. The nurse practitioner is now saying she will only write a prescription for 2 bottles a month. Any suggestions for a new primary care doctor that will help? I live in Tennessee. ## That is very odd, usually the actual doctor has to see you every few months, in most states. Can you post back and be more specific of the dosage you were taking? The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. Have you asked about seeing the actual doctor?

Will somebody PLEASE let me kno if tramadol 50mg is a amphetamine? And if.it will or could possibly show up Positive on drug test as a Amphetamine?? Thx! ## No - Tramadol is NOT an amphetamine. It is a narcotic type pain medication and WILL show up on a drug scan as such. If you have been legitimately prescribed the medication, inform your employer, case worker, etc and be prepared to provide your Dr's information. Tell the test administrator that it will appear and that it has been prescribed and make sure your are using the med as prescribed before the test. If of course, that is not the situation you find yourself in cand you are now facing a screen for meth, the likelihood is, I'm afraid, that the Tramadol will show up. The standard screens nearly all check for multiple comm...

I am trying to find out where to fill my prescription for the Oxycodone HCL 30 mg #240 which I take 8 a day.
