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? ## 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! ## 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 ...

Can oxymorphone 40mg with an imprint of G74 be broken to where I can take a quarter of the pill? They seem too strong... I told the Dr and then he gave me Ultram - no happy medium. ## No, it is not safe to cut or break this tablet, since it is a time released formulation of Oxymorphone. The FDA warns that these medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Have you tried the Tramadol to see if it works for you? ## There are much lower doses of the oxymorphone. It's surprising your doctor started you on the highest dose. I'd try maybe the 20mg. That's if you are still looking for that medium.

what's the difference in the different shapes and colors and printed numbers on Percocets? ## Hi Sharon, A round yellow pill marked with "C 230" is reported to be a generic version of Percocet containing 10mgs of Oxycodone hydrochloride + 325mgs of Acetaminophen, used for moderate to severe pain. And this particular pill is manufactured by a company called Alvogen. However I think it goes without sayin' that all of the different shapes, colors, and imprints you see on any given pill are simply indicators for identifying various manufacturers, dosages, and of course the substance(s) - including inactive ingredients. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Am trying to find out why two separate 230 C percocets while having the (230) - (230) side by side and perfectly st...

The company Aurobindo hydrocodone/apap 10-325 has U03 on it does not work its as though the meds are fake. don't know for sure but I have never had problems with my meds working until my pharmacy changed to this companyAurobindo ## Hello, Linda! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem you're having. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Have you consulted your doctor? They may need to prescribe an alternative medication, in the meantime. ## Same here! Just got these same bunk meds myself, a couple weeks ago, worthless! Never had trouble with my previous norco, but the ones by aurobindo are terrible, do nothing ...

I am in the 8th month of my pregnancy. Last week when we went for regular check up, I was give Ecosprin 75 and Duvadilan retard in addition to calcium and iron tablets. What for those two tablets were suggested for me by doctor. Can anyone help me out in knowing this... ## I have completed 28 weeks of my pregnancy. I had been suggested to take Ecosprin 75 tablet, daily after lunch. Is it safe? Can i continue taking it, because on the tablet there s a warning given that it should not be taken during last trimister ## Ecosprin75 contains 75mgs of Aspirin, this is a fairly low-dose tablet, but it is not normally advised to be taken during pregnancy because it acts as a blood thinner. this site is not medical professionals, so you should, however, follow your doctors instructions and consul...

I took white oblong white 10 hydrocodone / 325 aceminophen and my body feels like i have ants crawling inside all over my legs and arms. What is that? ## Hello, Marie! How are you feeling? Some people do experience this type of symptoms as a side effect from some narcotics, as listed by the FDA. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation and dry mouth. Was this prescribed by your doctor? It might not be the right one for you to take and you may need to switch to something else. ## Aurobindo or aurolife norco, have little to know effect. ## When I took 3 at once it happened,I take one and on really bad days two , but never more at one time ## Sounds like you are having an allergic reaction to the codeine in the pill. You can get the hydrocodone without the acetamin...

Need to order.....ASAP !!! ## @Tivomama, If you have a true legitimate need for this medication, I have to wonder what's holding you back from just going to see a doctor and obtaining a valid prescription? When you try to order meds like this from off the internet you're not guaranteed to get what you pay for anyways, kinda like taking a shot in the dark. Better to play it safe and at least get something for your pain rather than a pill with unknown ingredients (because they don't always use imprints/markings for ID'ing it) or in some cases, nothing at all (because customs got to it first and will likely send you letter in the mail or appear at your door step to confront you about the felony). I've seen it happen to several other users on here who were kind enough to...

Has anyone gained weight using lyrica as a back pain killer ## Hello, Mike! How are you? Lyrica is actually not a pain killer. It contains the active ingredient Pregabalin, which is an anticonvulsant, it's been found to help with some types of nerve pain, due to the way it acts on brain chemicals and yes, weight gain is a normal side effect of these types of medications. Learn more Lyrica details here. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and mood swings. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## As I said just on other thread regarding weight gain with Lyrica I never found it to put unwanted weight on myself the years I was on it for Neurolgia, it does work for many other areas other than Epilepsy as it is an anti-convulstant as you've already stated ...

National Drug Code (NDC): 00591-3968 Chlorzoxazone is a centrally acting muscle relaxant used to treat muscle spasm and the resulting pain or discomfort. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Chlorzoxazone Details I hope this helps! ## The truth always needs to be reviewed before it appears on the site.

I have just been prescribed Meloxicam. Does this contain gluten and lactose? I cannot have either. Just a note, most people who cannot tolerate gluten can have issues with lactose. I found this out the hard way. My Meloxicam is made by Unichem Pharmacies. Thank you for your time ## Hello, Wenndellyn! How are you? I'm sorry, but I need more information to be able to check the ingredients for you. Can you please post back with the markings on the tablets? Thank you! The FDA classifies Meloxicam as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. ## Hi . The pill is white with 15 on one side and U L on the other. Sorry for the delay. ## It's manufactured by Unichem Phar...

I have been taking Oxycodone 10mg NP/12, Zydus brand, for over a year. Last month the pharmacy changed to the K56, KVK tech brand, and they do not help with the pain at all. Zydus brand stops the pain and work find. The KVK don't do a thing. Can anyone tell me why? ## @BC Survivor, Just wanted to let to you know that you're not alone in thinking that that KVK Tech brand is noticeably less potent. Just have a look at some of the following discussion threads here to see what others have to say about it: Discuss/kvk-tech-oxycodone-30-mg-265090.htm Discuss/kvk-tech-oxycodone-30mg-IR-262212.htm Discuss/Kvk-Tech-Oxycodone-10mg-Inactive-Ingredients-247493.htm I for one think it has to do with them using different inactive ingredients than other manufacturers. From what I understand, th...

I ate three 500 / 10 mg Hydrocodone because I messed up my back. They were not prescribed to me but I extremely needed them. This was on Tuesday and I took the last one at 8 pm Tuesday night. I have a drug test tomorrow which is Friday. Will I pass the test? ## If a full 72 hours had passed I would say you would be fine. It appears you will be short some hours. It is questionable if you will pass. Good Luck Ive have always passed a u/a if I waited for 72 hours give or take. ## Hydrocodone is a narcotic and, like most other narcotics, it is usually detectable in a standard urine test for approximately 4 to 5 days, after last dosing. The time frame will vary from person to person, depending on various individuating factors, such as your metabolism, overall health, activity level, fluid in...

I suffer from brittle bone, DJD, colitis, only to mention a few. I was taking Hydrocodone 10/325 every 4 hours for approximately 16 years. I noticed over the past few years my pain was no longer controlled and I was taking the med to only not have withdraw symptoms and was tired of the cycle. It took a lot but I admitted my problem to my Doctor and he started me on Hyslinga ER 20mg every 12 hours. I have to say this drug is wonderful for me except the stomach pain. I have been on it for almost 6 weeks and am almost pain free. I haven't taken the hydro almost at all. I have taken care of the constipation and dry mouth on my own but this tummy pain is horrible and I don't know what to do to help this pain. I don't want to go back to the hydrocodone. I am happy on the Hyslinga ...

I've been taking 240 Percocet 10/325 for over 10 yrs with 60 mg MS Contin twice a day for breakthrough pain. When I'm out of the blue my doctor sends me to a pain management specialist because he says he can't write for any narcotic over 120 tabs a month. I go to this new doc who wants to inj. something in my spine in an area he calls the sweet spot, and that I have been over medicated by my other doctor but only after a MRI which I had and I went back after my scan and it turns out I don't have a sweet spot. My thecal sac is 5.4 and gets worse the lower it goes. So he sends me to a surgeon with a script for Percocet 15 mg and it's not touching my pain. I was wondering if I should request something stronger? I was at least able to function with my old med plan but I...

Is the Amneal generic brand for oxycodone 20mg, gray in color, round, marked A 50 on either side of the score line and no marks on other side IMMEDIATE RELEASE? It certainly has the quick melting and is extremely bitter just like KVK I have been taking which I am positive is IR. I hope someone knows the answer....thanks in advance. ## First of all, to clarify, the only actual immediate release Oxycodone is only available in a 5mg capsule. Beyond that, there are regular release formulations, and the extended release Oxycontin. In many cases the regular release is just called 'immediate release' because all of the medication is released, at once, unlike Oxycontin, which slowly releases the dosage overtime. However, the regular release formulations still take about 15 to 20 minutes...

## This tablet contains Oxycodone Hydrochloride 5 mg + Acetaminophen 325 mg (NDC 00054-4650). The split line is actually called a score line. It makes it easier for you to break or cut the pill, if necessary, to split the dose equally. Inactive Ingredients: - Silicon Dioxide - Croscarmellose Sodium - Cellulose, Microcrystalline - Stearic Acid ## I have a percocet but I don't know what strength it is. It has the numbers 54 on top and 543 on bottom; and a split line on the other side. ## Thank you for your information. Now I can get rid of this terrible tooth ache pain for a few hours.

I have a prescription through the VA for Oxycodone. I generally take 8 pills a day for arthritis pain management. The dosage per tablet is 5 mg. I had to do a fasting lab (blood draw and unrinalysis) and per instruction stopped eating at 8pm and drank only water throughout the night and next morning. I awoke at about 4am and had to urinate prior to the lab. Since I hadn't eaten, I did not take my morning dosage until after my lab and had gotten home. For some reason, my test showed no signs of opiates. Because I'm also on pseudofed due to allergies, my screen showed methadone. So my doctor is concerned that I am selling my Oxycodone and using meth. Any idea why the screen would not show Oxycodone since my prescribed dosage seems so high? ## Well, your metabolism can have an effe...

Is there such thing as a 25mg Percocet? If so, what is the shape and color of the medication? ## No, there is not. Percocet contains Acetaminophen and Oxycodone, the maximum dosage available contains 10mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. 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. What are the markings on the tablet in question? ## Are there 25mg Percocet what color are they coming

Hello! My name is Mark and I've had heart surgery a week and a half ago. Now, I have norco 10/325 and have been taking them for years. However, my doctors at the hospital had me stop taking norco while inpatient, and have prescribed me morphine 30 er along with tramadol 100mg. A morphine at waking and when going to sleep, and three tramadol doses between. Can I swap the tramadol for my norco? I did so today and haven't felt well. Chills, cold sweats and light fever, but those are all common with heart surgery as it's a rough battle to fight off pneumonia while your lungs heal. So... Instead of taking a norco for my last dose I went back to tramadol to see if it'll work. Am I safe? Can I take morphine and norco? Help please! ## Legitimate people with chronic pain issues a...
