What does 05/52 Percocet mean on the pills that were prescribed to me due to an injury? ## The FDA requires all manufacturers to use unique markings on their tablets to ensure that they can be identified, in case of emergency. For instance, if I type this marking into the database, I can quickly discover that this tablet is manufactured by Malinckrodt Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 5mgs of Oxycodone in a regular release formulation. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Picture the following scenario... someone calls emergency services, the EMTs arrive to find an unconscious person with various unknown pills strewn about... if they can't ...

White circular pill with NP markings on 1 side and 15 on the other. Is it a true 30 mg Oxycodone? ## Yes, it is manufactured by Zydus Pharmaceuticals. The FDA warns that this medication 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?

Just want to know is the oxycodone hcl 15mg (stamped 48-11 and a V) a better formulation than other generic companies? ## Hello, John! How are you? It is manufactured by Qualitest Pharmaceuticals, I've never had a problem with their products, but some have. However, we are all different, so the only way to discover how it will work for you is by trying it. The FDA warns that this medication 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?

my mri shows that i have a ruptured disc and my dr gave me a script for hydrocod/amectam 5-325 for pain. however it is not working. i am still in a lot of pain. can i take tylonal of avail also. i have not really slept in a week because of the pain. there is no way that i lay or sit up without arm pain ## This medication is an opiate narcotic that contains Hydrocodone and Acetaminophen, so no, you should not couple it with other products that contain Acetaminophen, such as Tylenol, according to the NIH. However, your doctor may approve of you adding Advil, but only they can decide if that is safe for you to do. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Is there ...

Nov. of 2016 I moved from Pa. to Tenn. out of family need. I am 60 yrs. old and had numerous lower back and cervical surgeries. In Pa. I received 180 percocet 10/325 per month. My pain spec. here in Tenn. will only prescribe 120 per. month saying by Tenn. law this is the max amount allowed per month. Can anyone tell me if this is fact? Thanks. ## Yes, it can vary from state to state. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. If it isn't controlling your pain, you may want to speak to your doctor about trying a different medication. Does anyone else have any advice to offer?

I just had major surgery on my leg and have lots of pain. I was wondering if taking two 5 / 325 Percocet every four hours for pain is safe? Please let me know asap :/ ## You should not increase your dosage, without your doctor's approval. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. That's not what would be considered a dangerous dose, but it may be too much for some people that aren't opiate tolerant. Is there anything else I can help with?

I take 75mg MS Contin, handles steady relief. My breakthrough pain was not under any control with 15mg morphine IR. Instead of increasing that med the Dr. wanted to change it up. Leaving the morphine ER the same he added 10/325 Norco. I get a couple minute euphoria which I cannot stand. I start feeling severe sick feeling. The pain is eased. The head and stomach's strange feeling last an hour or so. Aren't the comparisons equal? If so why would one effect me so much. I do have sensitivities to medications. I just don't want to mix up my pain stability trying to find a med to relieve the breakthrough. My Fibromyalgia flares need to be shut down quick. Finally to my questions. Do you think or know of these side effects lasting extended time? Having these side affects with the ...

I took norco for a week because I had surgery and I found that I didn't have any bowel movements and then I found that I was constipated so I stopped taking them. The last time I took one was at 8:30 in the morning yesterday 1-10-17 and I drank a bottle of magnesium citrate, a little bit of prune juice, I took stool softeners, and an enema and nothing worked until this morning 1-11-17. I haven't ate because I feel nausea. I have been drinking lots of water and some Gatorade now and all I have been doing is laying in bed because I feel weak and sick. When will I be back to normal? Will I be constipated again? ## I had the same problem. I would drink glasses of prune juice...still no bowel movement. Buy some Flaxseed oil. It is a natural laxative. I take 1 tablespoon a day and I a...

Am in chronic acute pain due to stenosis, fibromyalgia...the list goes on. Cannot find any doctor who will help; am so tired of living in bed. ## Hi Eudora, I'm so sorry to hear about what you're dealing with! Have you ever considered juicing medical cannabis (the entire plant), switching to the raw/vegan lifestyle, yoga, acupuncture, or essential oils? I've heard that those natural alternatives can be quite beneficial to those dealing with pain and anyone who needs help with nerve and bone regeneration. Here is a link to a site that gives information about specific oils that work well for pain: experience-essential-oils.com/essential-oils-for-pain.html I hope this helps, just believe that your body can and will heal itself! ## Thank you Jenna for your thoughtful response.

## would like to know what it looks like ## the 30 mg comes in a blue greenish caqpsule and the 10 comes in a capsule also just a little smaller ## are their morphine in red & white capsules? ## While I can see that Nora tried to provide some information, but that is not entirely correct, while Morphine is available in caspule form, it is also available in tablets. So, as to being able to say what it looks like, that is almost impossible. Once a med is available to be made and sold as a generic, when the proprietary name brand patent has run out, there are hundreds of pharmaceutical companies that can pick up the manufacture of it. There are also no guidelines in the pharmaceutical industry that says all pills or capsules with the same active ingredient must be the same size, shape,...

i have to take a 10 block hair follicle drug test and I have taken hydrocodone, but I only have a script for tylenol 3. Will i be ok? ## How did the test turn out? For future reference, Hydrocodone and the Codeine in Tylenol 3 are different drugs and in a broad panel test that looks for specific opiates, they will be detected individually. It may be up to 30 days per half inch of hair. ## How did it turn out?? ## I have to take a hair follicle test for court purposes. There is a custody fight and I have been accused of abusing rx meds. I have a rx for lortab and xanax, I have not abused them but have at times taken doese closer together than prescribed or had bad days w/pain..How exact is this test, should I be worried if some days I have taken more or less than prescibed?

I have severe RA, hip and femur full of bullet fragments and severe muscle loss. I have been taking 3 x's a day mscontin 30mg. Dr put me on 30mg of Opana 2 x's daily. I took first 2hours and not helping yet with my pain. How long does it take to kick in fully? Thank you ## The ER designates it as being a time released medication, so it doesn't all take effect, at once, it is slowly released over a period of time, but you should start to feel some relief within a few minutes of taking it. Has there been any change? The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

Does oxycontin, and percocet show up the same in a 12panel hair drug screen? ## Yes, the active narcotic in both is Oxycodone, so they would both show up the same on any drug screen. Since there are narcotic analgesics, they may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and constipation. Learn more: Is there anything else I can help you with? ## Will heroin show up like oxycodone ## I took one narco last night for a broken tooth had a hair test at 9am will it show up in my test

I had a TKA done 6 weeks ago. I am taking 1-2 Oxycodone 5 mg now just at bedtime. I don't like taking it, but I've found I still need it at night for pain management along with Celebrex. I've been told by my Dr. that I can't drive until I am off the Oxycodone. Since I'm only taking it a night am I still ok to drive or not? I don't feel dizzy at night unless I take 2 at a time, and I've not had to do that for a while. ## Lizzie, This is a very controversial subject. I can only speak to my experience dealing with 2 clients at the clinic that I am affiliated with. Your feeling of "euphoria" is merely perceptual.

Hello I live in New Jersey. I have had two back surgeries and I currently am prescribed 30mg oxycodone for pain. Before you judge me just know I have tried everything non narcotic for pain and the only way I can even get out of bed is with pain killers. I am relocating to San Diego and I need a doctor who is not afraid to prescribe oxycodone. Please help! ## Hello, Jay! How are you? There are no guarantees that a new doctor will prescribe it for you. Due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, a general practitioner will not be able to prescribe it for you, so you'll need to see a pain management specialist. The easiest thing to do would be to set yourself up with a new PCP, as soon as you arrive and have them refer you to someone. Make sure that you provide them wi...
