I have a badly sprained hand and possible fracture. I took Ibuprofen 800 mg an hour and a half ago. Is it safe to take the Hydrocodone 10/325 now? ## They can usually be taken together, unless your doctor or pharmacist has instructed you not to combine them. The FDA warns that Hydrocodone carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. Are you on any other medications?

I've been on Morphine 15mg. Succ IR for close to 2 months. I'm switching to Norco 10/325 in the morning. I'm wondering how many hours should be in between taking the morphine,and the Norco? I took my last morphine at 7pm tonight. Start Norco 10/325 around 7am. ## Unless your doctor or pharmacist has instructed otherwise, you should be able to make a clean switch from one to the other. The FDA does warn that these medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Do you take any other medications?

Does this fit the description of an ibuprofen tablet: The numbers on the pill are I 10. If so, what does it look like? ## This tablet is manufactured by Granules India and they do list it as containing 800mgs of Ibuprofen. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach irritation, and increased risk of bleeding. Is there anything else I can help with?

I suffered a bad L-3 injury back in '94 and was prescribed hydrocodone for the pain. I have been keeping in control with exercise and a good diet. I am currently an Electronics Engineer in Afghanistan as a US contractor for the past 6 years. I recently reinjured my back and am trying to get prescribed the medication without having to take the risk of going home for treatment and losing my position. Is there a way of acquiring a doctors prescription without traveling back to the States. My records can be obtained through my VA to verify the injury, prior prescriptions, and treatment that I have received. Thank you.

I have neuropothy in both my feet. I take Vicodin, gabapentin, and amitriptyline for the horrible pain it causes. Because I'm limited to activities I'm having trouble keeping my weight down and I wanted to try that life gardinia something or other and apple cider vinegar because i heard it can have some surprisingly great results but im concerned about mixing anything with the meds I'm already taking. Is this a good idea or no??

If I take 15 ml of red liquid hydrocodone 7.5 mg / acetaminophen 325 mg, does that equal 1 pill, or what does that amount (15ml) equal in pill form? ## It depends on the dosage of the pill. There is one available in the 7.5mg and 325mg dosage. 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. 15ml is a liquid measure, so it does not apply to pills, you have to go by milligrams for them. What has been prescribed for you?

I am on 15 mg morphine extended release tablets. Taken whole 1 every day. I want off off them. Desperate. Will not go on Suboxone. Will take Methadone am very serious and want off of these opiates. Tired of going into withdrawals. Been taking them every day for 5 months. Please help, advise where I can get help. ## Hi this is Tina. I forgot to add I am in Tampa, Florida. If anyone knows where i can get help without taking suboxone please write back to me. Thank you. ## Tina, I should caution you that with a minimal opiate intake like 1 15 mg tablet a day for only 5 months should cause very little if any discomfort. Methadone is designed for users with years and decades of very high opiate or opioid addiction. I'm not discounting your usage but I doubt any real methadone clinics will...

Wondering if the powder from a 30 mg oxycodone capsule is supposed to be sweet to the taste? ...It has no medicinal or bitter taste. It is similar to a powdered sugar taste. ## No, it should NOT. You have a bottle full of saccharin tablets like I got. BTW... capsules are 2 piece gelatin halves that slide together to contain the medicine. You have a TABLET that is WHITE, SOLID and has 114 printed in one side. The proper description IS IMPORTANT so others will know FOR CERTAIN what they have and IF it is a bad or defective medicine as these ARE. I know exactly which pills and which mfg you are talking about. Mayne Pharma. That particular product is as useless as Lips on a Wood Pecker....unless you are having Tea. I got "burned" with those pills ONCE and I told my pharmacy NEVER AG...

I have taken some hysingla and may have to take a urine test in 4 days. I am supposed to take norco 10 mg three times a day. The hysingla is 40 mg. Can a urine drug test tell the difference? I have taken the hysingla once a day. ## Hysingla er 60mg will I pass like I was taking hydrocodone 10 325 ## I think yes if they send it to the lab because it has different ingredients

Should i worry ?? i am perscribe Methadone 5mg 3X a day ?? ## If you had been drinking water and juice,four days should be good to pass I think.But it's a 50/50 chance,and it may depend on what time you took the med on Saturday-morning or night.Hopefully it was early and the drug test was late

The pill must have gotten wet so I'm not able to see it clearly. But what I do see is on one side it has a square box in the middle & on the other side it has a line through it & I'm only able to see a 0 on one side but I'm not able to see what's written on the other side. But I was told that it was an oxycodone 5mg pill.

Every time I have to go in the hospital (ANY HOSPITAL) I'm given roxicodone 20mg ( one 15 mg and one 5mg). At home I take a 20 20mg oxycodone. I swear the roxi's are much weaker than the oxy's I take at home. Anyone else notice this? I also take oxycontin 20mg and they always give that to me. I understand that roxy's are the generic and oxy's are brand. Why do I feel the difference, roxy's being much weaker to the point of withdraw... ## Roxicodone is the name brand for the regular release formulation of Oxycodone, Oxycontin is the brand name for the time released formulation.

Hello. I have been experiencing problems in my foot with pain on one side. Please suggest what the underlying problem could be? I take uric acid, but have not had any relief. ## I've been experiencing pain under my feet and it's gotten to the point where I couldn't wear shoes because I feel too much pain. What might be the cause of this and can anyone recommend a form of treatment?

I know a person that took a higher than recommended dose of Tylenol and they said that it equals up to 1 Hydrocodone. ## Hi Ann - There is no real equivalent dose between Tylenol (ingredient name Acetaminophen) versus Hydrocodone. They are two completely different drugs, plus the Acetaminophen is not even an opiate medication like Hydrocodone is. In fact, taking too much Acetaminophen puts the body at great risk of liver damage! So I hope that your friend is okay! There are some drugs which contain a combination of Acetaminophen + Hydrocodone (such as Vicodin and Norco), but in those drugs they act together. So as I mentioned, it is never a good idea to try and take a therapeutic equivalent of Hydrocodone by using Acetaminophen. I hope this helps and best wishes!

I am 75 years old. I have had several back surgeries. I have a pain pump, but now I am also on 15mg morphine tablets every 4 hrs as needed. Would it be easier on your system if you were to split the 15mg and take 7 and a half milligrams every 2 hours? ## I had surgery On Friday May 13, 2017. I having problems with my pain pump, this is my 4th pump. in about December of 2015 my pump came loose and was turning in my side, they waited till Oct 2015 because my pain was so bad. they re anchored the pump and the tip of the catheter was partially plugged. I was doing good, but 5 weeks later the pump came loose again. After 3 months my pain level was always at 8 to 10 level, that's why I was on the morphine. Friday they removed the pain pump from my right side, and put a new one in my left ...
