I have been taking one,5-500mg of hydrocodone daily for a few years. My urine test came back negative, and now my Dr. doesn't believe I'm taking them! They are the only thing that takes the edge off my awful undiagnosed, headaches. Please, any info will help.Thanx! ## Have you discussed the issue with your doctor? There are several things that could cause this, such as the use of an unreliable non-certified test, as well as your own individual metabolism, your activity levels, fluid intake and etc. Taking that small of an amount, once daily, would mean that the detectable amount in your urine is very low and not all tests would detect it. ## I had been taking the same meds for years and my test came back negative too. I told my doctor that I would come down everyday for one week...

What inactive ingredients are in the green 15mg oxycodone tablets with an imprint of U 32? It is bigger than my regular green 15's. ## Hi Tina, The correct imprint for these round green 15mg Oxycodone HCL tablets should actually be U23 instead of U32. For verification, these are made by Aurolife Pharma and carry a National Drug Code of 13107-056. The inactive ingredients are as follows: Microcrystalline Cellulose Stearic Acid Lactose Monohydrate Anhydrous Lactose Corn Starch FD & C Blue No. 2 D & C Yellow No. 10 You can also verify the list of inactive ingredients by clicking on the NDC link above. Hope this helps!

I take one tablet of hydrocodone/apap 5-352 mg, but when I go to bed and wake up in 4 hours I can't get back to sleep. Can I take an advil pm to help me to get back to sleep? ## Hi Norma, According the University of Maryland Medical Center (umm.edu / drug interaction tool), there is a high interaction potential reported between hydrocodone and the diphenhydramine in zzzquil / advil PM, stating that combining them may increase your risk of certain side effects such as: "loss of balance or dizziness, slurred speech, feeling confused, experiencing changes in mental awareness, or slow / shallow breathing." They go on to note that if adjunctive treatment is required, your doctor may adjust the dosage and/or frequency of dosing in order to mitigate any possible risk of side effect...

pain, oval white tablet ## i took one tablet of propoxyphene-n 100 w apap 650 and i am in severe muscle pain in my neck area. ## APAP is just medical speak for Acetaminophen and Propoxyphene is a very mild, narcotic pain reliever. If this made your pain worse, then clearly it isn't the proper medication for you, please speak to your doctor. Some of the most common side effects include: nausea, dry mouth, constipation and drowsiness. If anyone has more information, please post. ## I am allergic to codeine, oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphocodone. Given my history I'm nervous about propoxyphene-n. Is there a good chance I'll be allergic to it, too? ## My severe neck pain has returned so I want to take the ic propoxy-n/apap that I was prescribed. I suspect I may be pregnant but ca...

is tylonel 3 with codine the same as hydrocodne apap 7.5 /3.25 ## Hello, Sadie! How are you? No, the Codeine is much weaker than the Hydrocodone. Thus, the 30mgs of Codeine is only equal to 4.5mgs of Hydrocodone. 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. Is there anything else I can help with? ## If alergic to codeine don't take this medication? ?

is it used in cold or severe throat infection ## Rinostat contains 500mgs of Acetaminophen, 4mgs Chlorpheniramine and 25mgs of Phenylpropanolamine, it is used to treat cough and cold symptoms. There is, however, no antibiotic in this, so it will not help with an infection of any type. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and stomach irritation. Is there any other information you need? ## I need information about all medicines ## Does rhinostat actually help relieve Rhinitis Medicamentosa? And where can I get it?

From India.....is it a true hydrocodone? Has anyone actually tried this medication from VAX labs in a bubble pack? ## Hi Sally, If it's not dispensed by a legitimate licensed pharmacy, the only safe way to determine whether it's real or not would be to have the tablet analyzed by a lab or drug panel. Based on my own investigation, I cannot find any reason to believe that VAX labs or VAX Pharmaceuticals is a legitimate company. They have no website, no reviews and don't even appear to be a real firm from India. So personally, I would discard them. Obtaining meds like this over the internet is like gambling with your health and money. ## I just received 30 of these and took 1/2 of one and with no effect, I don't even think it is acetaminophen or hydrocodone!

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...

This new 224 pill is awful!! I get 180 a mon for severe migraines and its bad enuff I get nauseaus due to the pain. This new generic for from sun manuf makes me nauseas,and I get hives along with dry mouth! AWFUL! I went back to my dr that wrote me a new script. The bad side of it is I had to pay cash for them! I'm sure Sun will be getting a lot of negative feed back. I also read that it is sold in India black market!! ## Virtually every medication is available on the black market, in various countries, however, that means nothing in relation to its quality. And as to the negative feedback, not everyone's experience is going to mimic yours, they work fine for some people and not so well for others. That it how it always is with medications.

I found 2 blue oval shaped watson 540 pills in my sons room several months ago. What are they used for? ## this is a Lortab 10/500, my mom took these while battleing cancer, in the early stages, its for moderate to severe pain, they are addicting and you become very tollerant to the effect quickly, they have ahold of you before you know it and the withdrawal is more than the pain relief or the use of this. hope this helps, and I hope you havent found any since. ## Shirley is correct, this pill is Acetaminophen 500 mg and Hydrocodone 10 mg. Do you have any more questions or information to add? Please post back if you do. ## Yup hydrocodone 10 mg acetametaphen 500 mg. I used to take these after I had surgery to remove a large cyst from my uterus. How old is your son? Cuz these can be very...

Are the opana 40 mg ER's made to be abuse proof like the oxycontin 80mg er's? what other long acting pain meds are on the market that would compare to the oxycontin 80 mg er's? ## No, Opana is not made with the same formulation that the Oxycontin is, that was something specifically developed by Purdue Pharma, because the abuse of the Oxycontin and diversion has become such a huge and widespread problem. Opana contains the active ingredient Oxymorphone, which is also a very potent narcotic and may cause side effects, such as: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth. Learn more: As to other time released options, there is also a time released formulation of Morphine, the name brand for it is MS Contin, though it is also available as a generic: There is also a patch that co...

Hey! I have many problems with my neck and upper back and had been on Percocet 10/325 for about a year After having 2 cervical and 1 thoracic surgery for herniated discs and bone spurs and also was told I have terrible osteoarthritis of the spine! I'm 45 and they say I have so much arthritis I have a spine of an 80 year old! Anyway I had not slept in 48 hours due to so much pain in my neck and had an appointment with a PM doctor the following day, well the day before my appointment with this new doctor I was so tired but I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep yet again because the pain was so excruciating so I asked my mom if I could take one of her 30 mg aaderall pills so I could have enough energy to get through the day and night before my appointment!

I found this pill in my 18 year old nieces pocket when i went to wash clothes and i've tried looking it up and cant find it anywhere. Please help. ## This tablet was manufactured by Qualitest Pharmaceuticals and they list it as having contained 10mgs of Hydrocodone and 500mgs of Acetaminophen. The reason you couldn't find it listed anywhere is due to the fact that is has been discontinued due to the amount of Acetaminophen that was in it. The FDA no longer allows combination prescription medications to contain more than 325mgs of Acetaminophen per dose, so this hasn't been manufactured for several years, now. This is 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....

I accidentally took on contrace yesterday by mistake and I am on Vicodin it made me sick and I couldn't sleep last night so how long after the contrave can I take a Vicodin and how long does contrave take to leave my system it was a 90 mg ## Yes, the Naloxone in it can throw you into dangerous precipitated withdrawals. You'll need to give it about 3 days, before you can take the Vicodin, again, unless your doctor instructs otherwise. The FDA warns that Vicodin 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? ## Your body will go into participated withdrawal bad. Since it had naltrexone with any morphine, codeine, opioids etc.. they give that to people that...

I'm having shoulder surgery on feb. 20th on my rotator cuff. What can I take for pain right now for sciatic nerve and shoulder surgery I had done in october? ## Hi Deborrah, Sorry to hear about your shoulder. I realize that your surgery may have already taken place seeing as it's now the 27th of Feb. Did you manage to find anything to use for the pain since you last posted? Personally, I think it's imperative to discuss potential treatment options with the surgeon and/or anesthesiologist in order to play it safe; since whatever they administer during the operation could interact with whatever it is you may be taking. I know if it were me in this position, I'd probably turn to medical cannabis and/or kratom for relief, but I cannot say what will or wont work for you and y...

I am recovering from an intense spinal surgery and was given an rx for 60 mg oxycontin. I filled it last month at my regular CVS, but they said it was removed from the books, they even called other CVS who checked and said it was removed from their books as well, guessing that CVS doesn't carry it anymore. After checking with 10 different pharmacies, no one has it. One said they haven't had to order that in a long time. I didn't think it was that unusual. But where in the world can I get this filled? Walgreens is not an option as they are not a part of my insurance plan. ## I went to a local low cost pharmacy. They had and could order it. The cost was 600. But because insurance was charged from cvs 1600 a month they would not pay 600. They would only pay 300. I got member se...
