I found 2 tiny white pills in a plastic pill carry sack that is blank on one side and scored on other side, along with a check mark or V underneath the score and the number 4171 above it. ## Hello, Dee! How are you? This tablet is manufactured by Qualitest Pharmaceuticals, formerly Vintage, hence the V logo, and they list it as containing 50mgs of Meperidine, which is an opiate analgesic. The FDA warns that it 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?

I must not take anti-inflammatory drugs 7 days before surgery, but I am in severe pain! Does a k56 oxycodone contain any anti-inflammatory drug? ## No, this tablet is manufactured by KVK Tech and they list it as only containing 10mgs 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. Is there anything else I can help with?

They prescribed me 12 percocet, 1 every 4 to 6 hrs. How many days is that (2 or 3 days worth)? Because I see my doctor today and only have 1 left. ## That would be a maximum of 6 a day, so 2 to 3 days worth. 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?

I have a 25 year history of migraines. Prescribed 1 or 2 fioricet every 4 to 6 hrs. Crazy but true, can someone she'd some light? For severe migraine relief, I need to take 2 at once. If at those times I take 1, wait 45 min for relief then take the other, it doesn't work. My experience has been that basically I have to start over, meaning that after that initial 45 min wait, I have to take 2 at one time, hitting the headache quick and hard. Also sometimes you think you will need 2 at the start and end up knowing that that was too much. So clearly, not good. My question is how can this scenario be? And why doesn't hydrocodone even with some caffeine and tylenol work for my migraines? Migraines are such a balancing act. Going to try Depakote, but keep my fioricet close by. ## ...

This should last me 30 days, but two weeks from the date of prescription it was changed allowing me to take it every 6 hours. When can I get my next refill if it was prescribed Oct. 31, 2016 - present? ## May I ask what medication you are taking? It is ultimately up to the doctor if they are able to issue you a refill sooner than 30 days. Since they upped your dose then they should be aware that you will go through the prescription more quickly. If you took 3 per day for 2 weeks then that would leave you with about 48 pills (90 total - [14 days * 3 per day]). Then if you started taking 4 per day (24 hours / every 6 hours) then you would go through the remaining pills in about 12 days. So in the end you would have gone through your entire prescription in about 26 days, finishing about 4 ...

Hi there, I just recently moved to Vegas and am needing to find a doctor here willing to continue my current prescriptions of oxycontin 80mg 2x a day and vicodin. I've been in pain management for 2 yrs in another state and I have 5 yrs of paperwork documenting my conditions, current MRIs and x-rays, ect. I have insurance, Blue Cross Blue Shield. I'm going to be out of my meds very soon and can't keep flying back to see my doctor in my previous state so I want to get in with one here as soon as I can. I only have a week left and am getting nervous BC there's so many doctors listed online I'm not sure which one to pick. Any help or info was be appreciated thanks! ## Need a pain management dr that will prescribe my fentanyl patches, pain pills

How long does feeling last he took one and 5 325 oxcodone his arms here but the not the feel he took at 6pm ## Hi Connie, It's a little difficult to understand the entirety of your post due to grammatical errors, but immediate release oxycodone has an estimated half-life of 4 hours - At which point only 2.5mg out of the 5mg would still be active. I believe this is why typical adult dosing charts suggest taking 1 tablet every 4-6 hours as needed for around the clock pain relief. 5mgs is also the smallest available dosage of oxycodone (at least to my knowledge) - So you could always talk with your doctor about going up to 7.5mg or 10mg if the 5mg isn't sufficient. I hope this helps!

I found a round white pill 104 on BOTTOM half, there is nothing on the back or the front. I can't find it anywhere on any Web site ## The legitimate white round pills I'm seeing all have the number 104 on the TOP half of a score line and are blank on the back. These generic Percocet 5/325mg tablets are reported to be approximately 11mm in size and are a product of Mylan Pharmaceuticals. They also carry a National Drug Code of 00378-7104. If yours appear any different, I'd suspect them to be counterfeits. However you can always contact Mylan just to be sure. I hope this helps!

small round pill peach in color with pms imprinted on one side and a straight line through the middle on the other side ## Several pills with this marking have come up recently and from what I can find on some of the others, they appear to be from a foreign company. That means, the imprints are not logged with the U.S. FDA. Was it found in the U.S. or elsewhere? This one may be really difficult to narrow down, since most of those that I am finding listed also have numbers on them. ## I have the same pill but light green (im in canada) and ive been told its a 5 mg oxy but seen else where that it may be a 50mg morphine quick release ## The pill you have is a quick release 50 mg Morphine im currently perscribed them ## i found a pill it is light peach and round with 50 on one side and on o...

Has anyone taken Tramadol ZENDOL - SR? I am curious what the affects are suppose to be and the difference between Tramadol HCL 50 mg? Is one more effective than the other? I have taken traditional Tramadol HCL 50 mg once every four hours and it doesn't help much. I was reading up on the Tramadol ZENDOL - SR 100mg and was wondering if I should ask my Dr. for something that may be more effective? ## No, it is the same medication, Zendol is just a foreign brand name for it and the SR shows that it is time released. 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. So yes, you may not get much more relief from it. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi,i also tak...

What do the 60 mg instant release tabs look like? I am prescribed six 30 mgs instant release tabs, two 30 mgs three times a day. I am out of my medicine. And my insurance changed so they're requiring a prior authorization and I've been a day so far without it and I'm in pain. So my neighbor told me that they would let me borrow a couple of theirs until I can get my insurance figured out but they get the 60mg instant release and I don't want to take something without knowing what it is first. Also is MS Contin the same thing as morphine? Someone please help asap. ## Hi Concerned - To answer your questions, the 60 mg Morphine IR pills can vary by manufacturer. Can you post back and describe what you got from your neighbor? Such as color and markings on them? Also, MS Conti...

It has been 82 hours since I took a oxycodone 10mg. Can someone please tell me I can pass my urine drug screen at the methadone clinic tomorrow morning!

What could that show up as? ## Daisy, It all depends on the testing protocol your specific clinic is using but there's been a recent push to use more sensitive testing especially when accepting Medicaid patients to eliminate Polly drug users ( using more then one abusable drug ) even when they have a legit.

Need to know if this is a generic version for Norco (hydrocodone/acetaminophen) 5/325 (2172). What is this pill? ## Hello, Honey! How are you? Yes, after days of looking, I've finally found confirmation that it is. 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? ## FDA needs to remove 2172 pills from market. They are worthless. Shame on Walgreens for passing these off as 5/325s. I guess the bottom line is money and not your health. Good by Walgreens $$$$$$. Never to big to fail. ## THE NEW ONES ARE AWFUL. THEY DONT HELP PAIN. JUST MAKE ME FEEL LIKE A ZOMBIE. AND CANT GET NEW REFILL WITH ONES I H...

I have an extra lumbar vertebra and the older I get the more it hurts. Been using Tylenol (everything else makes me wheeze). I was in the hospital for kidney stone and was given Percocet...seems that 2.5 mg helps me sleep pain free and doesn't snow me in the morning. I need an MD that won't treat me like an addict like my Kaiser primary MD does...Help please!

What are the speckels for is it the hydrocodone I never knew if they r better than the other ones or the same? ## No, that's just a coloring agent the manufacturer used to distinguish their tablets from the others available on the market. These tablets contain 5mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, which is a narcotic pain reliever. There are many generics of this on the market and it's difficult to compare it to others, without knowing which specific ones you're asking about. Can you provide any other details? Thanks! Learn more Norco details here. This medication has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. ## So, the manufacuter puts the 'coloring agent' or 'red s...

I have a raging toothache. I took one Tylenol 3 at 5:30. I found some Hydrocodone from when I had a stroke. Can I take the Hydrocodone instead? Tylenol 3 did nothing for it, and I'm in severe pain. ## Hello, Kay! How are you doing? Has there been any change? The Codeine in Tylenol 3 is very mild and doesn't help everyone with pain. Hydrocodone is stronger, but you shouldn't take it, unless your doctor or dentist instructs you to do so. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.
