I used to get them at CVS, but they have discontinued carrying the brand. Can you help? I live in San Diego County. My zip code is 92029. ## Hi. I live in Esco.. In March of 2017, Esco Pharm carried Qualitest but just said they couldn't get any more? Are you getting them in Esco ok in march of 2017? ## I need QUALITEST (yellow) brand hydrocodone in (High Point area or Greensboro area) NC. Anyone know where I can fill a prescription for them? CVS stopped carrying them?

My mother is 74 yrs old. Had rotator cuff surgery 4 days ago. Had to take her to the ER on day two. There they gave her an IM Dilaudid shot and sent her home. Called the doctor on call the next day and ask if they could admit her for pain management, he proceeded to tell me that the insurance would not pay for it. Post-op surgery they gave her Percocet 7.5/325 1-2 every 4-6 hours for pain. To make a long story short. Two was too strong so she had the 5-325 and took two every four hours and that would help her pain level which would be tolerable at 5. This is 3900mg of tylenol. Too much in only 24 hours. So this is why I am asking if you can take the Percocet 7.5/325 every 3 hours? ## Hello, Debbie! How is your mom doing? Since this is a narcotic, the FDA warns that it carries the risk o...

I have a prescription that I found moving, its about 2 years old, the bottle says 10mg Oxycodone/325 mg Acetaminophen. I tried to look it up and everything just says Acetaminophen but nothing about the Oxycodone. Some insight would be great. I'm wondering if someone ripped me off and switched pills. Regardless, they went in the trash. ## Is the P 500 on one side of the pill? Or is there a P on one side and 500 on the other? I see where it shows Walmart brand acetaminophen 500mg with imprint P500. Usually the label on the pill bottle will give a description of the pill (i.e. imprints, scoring). This pill (P500) is definitely not percocet. Sounds like someone might have pulled the ol' switcheroo on it. ## If the imprint is P 500 it is Ciprofloxacin 500 mg (Cipro-Brand Name) Ciprof...

I took a 20mg opana er yesterday morning and have to do a drug test today. I need to know what it will show up as? ## Opana contains the active ingredient Oxymorphone, which is a narcotic opiate and should be detected as such on a drug test. Depending on the type of test they do, they will either just show the presence of an opiate, or they can determine the specific one that you took. However, if you have a prescription, there is no need to worry, just inform them of that, when you go in for testing. Is there anything else I can help with? ## So what exactly does the opana, or oxymorophone show up as in a urine test? It is an in office "cup" urine test. I am prescribed oxycodone but not opan/oxymorophone. I took an opana. Now I am worried. Im not sure what it will show as. Will...

My doctor just switched me to Opana IR 10 mg. I was taking Lortab 10/500, but staying misusing then because I built up a tolerance. Well these Opana's are amazing. I have never been so pain free in the twenty years suffering with chronic pain. Not to mention how awesome they make me feel in general. Bad part is the itching...keeps me awake and is unbearable. I wondered if there is something over the counter I can take to make this itching go away whereas I love Opana and definitely don't want to give them up. There is a high possibility my doctor might switch me again and I do not want that since these work so well. Help!! ## Hi, BeeBee! Sorry about the itching! Some narcotics can cause that as a side effect in some people that take them and, if that's what it is, then it sh...

So i take hydrocodone 10/325 and have for a long time. I had my bi monthly apt and my doctor said my levels were way to high. He said i had to be getting more from somewhere. I told him i don't get extra from anywhere and i only take 3 a day. That's what i am prescribed. He did not tell me what the levels were but i am livid that he called me a liar. I take Baclofen 20 mg on top of that and a .5mg alprazolam. My fluid intake usually consists of only soda and coffee, but i have recently stopped almost all of the coffee. I was being honest my Dr. and i now get called a liar. What could be causing the high levels here? ## Hello, Kim! How are you? If you have cut down on your fluid intake, your levels could be showing up higher due to dehydration. It can cause such a medication to b...

Vicodin on one side no numbers what's the mg? Help will be greatly appreciated. Not sure how detailed they want my message to be ## Hello, Mick! How are you? This tablet is manufactured by Abbott Laboratories and they list it as containing 5mgs of Hydrocodone and 500mgs of Acetaminophen. This dosage is no longer being manufactured. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

I found a small round white pill with a J on one side and a 5 on the other side in with my perscription of Tramadol. It is smaller than all of the other pills in the container. Does anyone know what it might be? ## Hi Jessica, A round white pill imprinted with J 5 has been identified as Donepezil hydrochloride 5 mg. Manufacturer: Jubilant Cadista Pharmaceuticals Inc. Donepezil is used to treat dementia (a brain disorder that affects the ability to remember, think clearly, communicate, and perform daily activities and may cause changes in mood and personality) associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD; a brain disease that slowly destroys the memory and the ability to think, learn, communicate and handle daily activities).

I got a script from the drugstore for 2mg dilaudid and when I open the bottle there were white ones in there but I saw some cotton in the bottle pulled it out and the rest of the pills were orange whats up with this? Are they ok to take? ## Hi, Wendy! It can be normal for this to happen if your pharmacy ran out of their supply of one and had to add some from a different manufacturer. However, I can't confirm this for you, without knowing the markings that are on the tablets. Learn more Dilaudid details here. Can you post back with this information? If so, I'll gladly check for you. Thanks! ## I have a pill that was supposed to be dilaudid, but it looks like it got wet or something.

I AM ON 24MG OF SUBUTEX FOR MONTHS NOW AND 3 10MG OF OXYCODONE FOR CHRONIC PAIN. RECENTLY MY DOCTOR RETIRED AND BEFORE HE LEFT HE TOOK ME OFF OF ALL OXYCODONE. I STILL HAVE PAIN THAT THE SUBUTEX DOSEN'T TOUCH. WHAT SHOULD I DO? I AM 64 YEARS OLD AND CAN'T FINANCIALLY QUIT MY JOB BUT I MISS WORK ALOT. MY JOB IS VERY HARD WORK ## Hello, Fran! How are you? Subutex only contains Buprenorphine, not the opiate blocker Naloxone that is in Suboxone, so you can take other opiates, after taking it, as long as your doctor approves. The FDA lists this medication as being 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 spoken to your new doctor about your pain? They may n...

seems to be wired from these, never had that happen before, only taken 2, 4x a day, same as always. I had some from another brand dont get the side affects ## What are the markings on the tablets in question? Can you please post back with this information? It will enable me to research more details for you. The FDA does warn that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. However, some are known to cause the opposite of the usual side effects in some people that take them, so some do get bursts of energy from taking it.

Pink oval shaped pill with a256 printed on one side and nothing on the other ## This tablet contained 100mgs Propoxyphene and 650mgs of Acetaminophen, it was a generic for Darvocet. The FDA has since removed this medication from the market due to the high risk of overdose fatalities, as well as cardiac dangers. It also carried the risk of being habit forming. It would be best to make sure this medication is disposed of properly, if you find any tablets that contain Propoxyphene and see your doctor for a safer medication that might work for you. Is there anything else I can help with?

oblong white with M369. Could you please tell me the strength? ## that should be 7.5/650 ## Was the marking possibly M 359? if so, the prior response is correct, however, it should be noted that tablets with this amount of Acetaminophen have been removed from the market. The FDA now limits these combination prescription products to containing no more than 325mgs of Acetaminophen per dose. This medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such a nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, and headache. Is there anything I can help with?

Does anyone know of cough syrup with codeine and guaifenesin (like Cheratussin ac) that is either dye-free or does not have red dye #40? My father has an allergy to red dye #40... Thanks! ## What I'd suggest doing is going to a compounding pharmacy. They are specially prepared to handle such problems and mix up the needed medications in the dosages ordered, or without certain ingredients that someone may be allergic to. They may require confirmation of the allergy from his doctor and it is usually more expensive, but would be well worth it to avoid an allergic reaction. Learn more Guaifenesin details here and you can learn more Codeine details here. Since this does contain Codeine, it has the potential to be habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry...
