On my pill bottle it reads Oxycodone Acetaminophen 5-325. What does 5-325 mean? I have not taken this before and I am unfamiliar with what the numbers mean. ## Hello, Sandy! How are you? That means that it contains 5mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

trying to locate dilaudid 8 mg ## i have a script for dilaudid 8 mg. they are backordered in Md. where can i get it filled?? ## I am not too familiar with pharmacies in MD, but I do know from when I lived there for a short time, that it was very hard to get narcotics prescriptions filled, I usually had to look for a pharmacy that specialized in pain management medications, as most regular drug stores didn't keep them in stock. Finding these types of controlled medication online can also be difficult. Have you tried calling around to see if anyone in your area has it? Since I don't know exactly what area of MD you are in, it is hard for me to even try and suggest somewhere. To the original poster, are you in MD as well or somewhere else? Have you tried looking into generics or as...

My brother is a disabled vet of the gulf war with a lot of chronic back pain and he's got a lot of health problems. Are there any doctors in Joplin MO taking new patients? ## Hello Cindy! Sorry to hear about your brother. How is he doing? Does he currently have a PCP? If so, that would most likely be the easiest way for him to get the help he needs, he can ask them to refer him to someone. Most pain management specialists have been swamped, due to the change in regulations this year, so it's difficult to get in, without a good referral. ## Did u ever find a decent pain doctor in Joplin mo?? I am new to the area, but I am familiar with dr Knudsen ( I use the title of Dr very loosely) nobody should ever use this dr... I have multiple problems.. Desperate for a decent dr.. I need i...

I found a oblong pink pill with a v on one side andit says 3600 on the other side ## Hello, Laney! How are you? These tablets were manufactured by Qualitest Pharmaceuticals and they list them as having contained 10mgs of Hydrocodone and 500mgs of Acetaminophen, however, this dosage is no longer available. 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? ## What is a small round pill orange with the letter p on one side and number 2 on the other side

I take 4. 10 mg. a day have been for years. Well I ran out and got urine test in 3 days. Will it still be in me hopefully? ## Yes it should but as u have probable heard before it all depends on Ur body an metabolism. But since u have been taking them so long I would say yes, I've been in the same situation an I have passed. However I wanted to pass on some advise as how to deal with this issue in the future. What I do if I run out early is after I take my last pill I pee in a travel size shampoo bottle bought brand new then u can reuse it for this purpose afterwards. I then put in the freezer, the night before I put it in the fridge to defrost (I have done this several times recently an passed). Keep listing cause what I'm about to tell u works every time.

My doctor changed my meds from Morphine 80 mgs tid to 50 mgs oxycodone tid along with liquid 5 mgs as required. Why would she do this? I had lymphoma. ## I am sorry, but only your doctor can answer that question. However, I can tell you that Oxycodone is stronger than Morphine, so they may have thought it would help you more than the Morphine. 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. Have you asked her why she made the change?

I have a strange response to Oramorph - I take 10ml for persistent hip pain two or three times a week. It takes about 2 hrs to kick in and lasts about 10-12 hrs. It is not slow-release. Sometimes I wonder if I'm imagining this or maybe it just relaxes me so the pain feels less. I would like to know if anyone (especially women as I've heard these drugs aren't evaluated on women), has had a similar experience? My doctor says it's impossible! Thanks. ## The length of time that any given medication works may vary from person to person, a lot of it depends on your own body chemistry and metabolism. 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. And yes, th...

I received this pill from a pharmacy. This is the first time I ever took this pill, but it gave me a bad headache and upset my stomach. ## Those can be side effects of this medication, according to the FDA, you may also experience dry mouth, and constipation. It is normal for a medication to cause side effects, just the nature of adding a chemical to the body to try and remedy some problem. Has anything changed?

This pill is peach or tan in color is oblong shaped and has 60 imprinted on one side and E655 imprinted on the other side ## This tablet contains 60mgs of controlled release Morphine, the active ingredient in MS Contin, this is a narcotic pain reliever. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and constipation. Read more: Do you have any other questions? ## These pills are oblong, like stated, so they are easy to accidentally brake. My boyfriend found a half of one in his medication bottle, he takes them orally as intended. He has had the wax-covered MS before, but these are different. A broken one of these, does it still ruin the ER part when broken? Or is the ER mixed into the whole pill? ## 60 mg morphine for the peach oblong 60 e 655. Its a SR be careful since ...

Can I take MS Contin 15 mg and Norco 10-325 together or should I space them out over the day? ## They can be taken together, if they have both been prescribed for you. However, as reported by the NIH, taking them together may result in your experiencing more severe side effects, which may include nausea, dizziness, headache, and sedation. Is there anything else I can help with?

I've read where people say it's impossible to fake the yellow 10/325 percocet and whoever believes that is sadly mistaken. The biggest sign is that sometimes the yellow is a little worn or the pill had white spots on it. The second is that the instant the water hits your mouth they almost instantly dissolve and you can hardly swallow the chalk in your mouth. The third and most important sign is this: if you hold a prescription pain killer up to the light it had a sort of gloss/sheen to it. The fakes do not have this. The only exception would be if the pills were REALLY old they may have lost their sheen. But for me, that is the biggest thing. Fakes are rare, but don't be so naive. INVESTIGATE. People are crazy. ## While it may be good to know the difference between fake tabl...

The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

I have been on these for 12 to about 15 years now and for the past couple years now they don't seem to ease my pain any. I also take 800mg ibuprofen with something to protect ur stomach. I've only been on them 2/3 years. I'm sure my body laughs at me when i take the 10/325. Is there something close without taking acetaminophen? I'm 50 and i have taken acetaminophen forever. I'm afraid one day it will mess up my liver. I'm not a heavy drinker. Please help so i can talk with my doctor. Thank you. ## There are quite a few other medications available without Acetaminophen, such as Zohydro, Oxycodone, Morphine, Opana, and Dilaudid.

I ran out of my hydromorphone and have taken morphine sulfate from my sister 30mg. I have to only have Diladid in my system will it show up the morphine that is. I need to be daladid only on my test what should I do. ## Yes .... ## They both are very simular as far as codeine based opiates. Dilaudid is @ 10x stronger but yes it will still show up. I only know cause it happened to a neighbor ## They will both likely show up as exactly what they are on any urine test, since it looks for the specific drugs, as well as the metabolites after they have been processed through the body. Most narcotics are detectable in urine for approximately 4 to 5 days, after last dosage and you may actually run into 2 different problems from this. You levels of the prescribed medication may be too low, which...

What are the refill guidelines for oxycontin? Can they be filled one or two days early? ## It really depends on your pharmacy, it can be filled a day, or two early, technically, but some pharmacies won't do so, thus it is best to ask them the next time you are in to pick up a medication. 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. Is there anything else I can help? ## Tamra, I was under the impression that cds II like OxyContin where not refillable. If you mean a new "written hard copy" most pharmacies will give you a problem unless it's the day the previous rx was scheduled to be complete. If you have a long lasting relationship with an independen...
