Are morphine patches as effective on chronic pain issues like fentynal? I've been on Kadian twice a day and I m concerned it won't work for me. ## Hello, Nicole! How are you? Did the Kadian work well for you? Morphine is the active ingredient in it. 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.

What are white oblong pills stamped 703? Are they indeed Tylenol w/ 8mg codeine? Please help me to identify these pills. Thanks. ## Hello, Scotty! How are you? Several people have asked about this tablet recently, but so far, I've been unable to find an identification in the FDA or NIH databases. I have looked through pages of identifying marks and images of Tylenol with Codeine and nothing matches. The FDA warns that Codeine carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Does anyone else have any idea what this tablet might contain?

Can I drink 8 hours after having one pill of 5/325 Hydrocodone/Tylenol? I am only wanting to have a couple. ## Hello, Genny! How are you? It is usually best to abstain from alcohol while taking any narcotic medication, especially one like this which also contains Acetaminophen/Tylenol. According to the NIH, both can be very harsh on the liver, so combining the two could result in liver damage, or failure. The FDA also 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 an RX for dilaudid and for the last few months by the end of the month, some of my tablets look like they have been dropped in water and taken out to dry. They are smaller and the marks are not readable. How and why does this happen! Thank you for your help ## Hello, Julia! How are you? Do they still work for you? Some pharmacies use automated counters and sorters, which unfortunately may result in some peoples being slightly damaged, or broken. I've had it happen, before, so I know prefer to use pharmacies that still do hand counts to fill prescriptions. 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.

This pill has a 333 on it and is oblong and white has nothing on the other side of the first time. ## Hi Eli, The oblong (capsule-shaped) white pill you're describing marked "A333" is in fact identified as Oxycodone (10mg) + Acetaminophen (325mg); which is used to treat moderate to severe pain. For verification, this particular tablet is manufactured by Actavis, and has a National Drug Code of 00228-2983-11. You can also learn more about this drug on the page for Acetaminophen + Oxycodone Details I hope this helps and wish you a merry christmas! ## White Pill with A333 Oblong that is generic for percocet I think needs to be looked into more closely. I don't feel it is right that they can just change medicine and people have no choice but to get it cause their insurance w...

Hello! I was given 15mg 4x's day by dr if oxycodone. My insurance will no longer cover so I have tapered down to 15 mg every 24 hrs. I cut one pill 4 ways and take a piece which is 3.75 mg every 6 hrs depending on discomfort pain. I really need to taper down enough to stop taking without the horrible side effects of withdrawl. I went thru this in feb cold turkey off Percocet (4 years at 60mg day) and landed in the ER where they put me on Tramadol for 3 months then switched me to Oxycodone. I really want this stuff out of me so at this point what would be a safe taper and at what point should I stop taking all together? I did ask my dr and his response was keep taking less. Useless!!! Any honest safe advice would be appreciated. I have come down so far in doses and really want to jus...

I have toothache and I am on blood thinning medicine! What can I take for the toothache? Will hydrocodone 5/325 help? If so, how often can I take it? ## Hello, Betty! How are you? It might help, but you should only take it if your doctor has instructed you to do so and you should follow their dosing instructions, it's usually taken every 4 to 6 hours, as needed. 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. You should also be aware that it will not correct whatever problem has caused the toothache, so you should see your dentist as soon as possible for any necessary treatment. Is there anything else I can help with?

My daughter currently takes liquid hydrocodone acetaminophen 7.5 325 per 5ml every 4-6 hrs for pain my sister thinks it's to much....how is this converted to pill form? ## Hello, Sally! How is your daughter doing? From what you've listed, each 5ml contains 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, which is equivalent to the same dosage tablet. There's really nothing unusual about this dose. 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? ## My son is prescribed Norco 7.5/325 to take 5 ml every 6 hrs. How much hydrocodone does 5 ml contain? ## Worried mom, it's listed as 7.5m...

I have been taking oxycodone HCL 15mg for 2 months. Is there a good reason to change to percocet 15mg? What's the difference? ## Hello, Susan! How are you? There is no 15mg Percocet available on the U.S. market. Percocet contains Oxycodone coupled with Acetaminophen, since it can augment the action of the narcotic in some people that take it. However, the maximum dosage available contains 10mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. 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?

Please note that according to NIH, "OxyContin tablets are a controlled-release oral formulation of oxycodone hydrochloride indicated for the management of moderate to severe pain when a continuous, around-the-clock analgesic is needed for an extended period of time. OxyContin 60 mg, 80 mg, and 160 mg Tablets, or a single dose greater than 40 mg, ARE FOR USE IN OPIOID-TOLERANT PATIENTS ONLY. A single dose greater than 40 mg, or total daily doses greater than 80 mg, may cause fatal respiratory depression when administered to patients who are not tolerant to the respiratory depressant effects of opioids. OxyContin TABLETS ARE TO BE SWALLOWED WHOLE AND ARE NOT TO BE BROKEN OR CHEWED. TAKING BROKEN OR CHEWED OxyContin TABLETS LEADS TO RAPID RELEASE AND ABSORPTION OF A POTENTIALLY FATAL D...

I have a round 12mm diameter by 3mm thickness light green with white speckles pill. One side has capital E other side is clean. Pill is not scored. Looked everywhere and cannot find any description. Supposedly this is oxycodone 80mg controlled release. May be from another country. Any help and input is greatly appreciated. Can provide picture if needed. ## This is pure speculation, but I located a half green half white pill with a black colored capital E on one side and blank on the other, to be an Excedrin extra strength geltab [containing 250mgs of acetaminophen + 250mgs of aspirin + 65mgs of caffeine]. I was thinking that if the green part was in bad condition the white side may begin to reveal itself from underneath? Also, as it may pertain to further search efforts, does this capit...

I just moved near Augusta GA and im in desperate need of a doctor who is willing to prescribe opiate pain medicine. I was used to taking 10mg vicodin or Norco 7.5 before i moved. Since I only suffer from terrible migraines and moderate back pain the docs here only offered Tylenol 3 which isn't helping much at all so Any help would be so appreciated!

I took hydrocodone about 4 hours ago and I have some old tramadol. I have such a bad headache. Will it be OK to take this tramadol? ## You can do so, as long as your doctor approves, but you should be aware that these opioids can cause headaches as a side effect, according to the FDA and the NIH. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I've read a lot about seizure risks and such when mixing the two, but no one ever talks about doses in those posts and I'm looking to stay safe. Would (1) 5mg hydrocodone and (1) 200mg tramadol be safe and okay? I have no tolerance to opiates. I currently have a cough so bad it's giving me intense migraines every day and I'm kinda in the boat as finals m...

I have been taking only Tylenol 3 for about 8 months through a pain management doctor. My drug tests have all been fine except for the last two months. The urinalysis is showing Vicodin for the last two months and I did not take any Vicodin. I also take Robaxin prescribed by the doctor. We cannot figure out why Vicodin is showing up in the drug test. Has this happened to anyone else? I also take Xanax and Celexa. Periodically, I take Benadryl. Is there a combination of these medications that would show Vicodin in a drug test? I haven't had any Vicodin for over a year.

I take hydrocodone 10/325 3 x daily. I also take, Cymbalta 90mg, Elavil 50mg, Trazodone 150mg, Losartan 5mg, Quetiapine 100mg and Chantix daily. I was just tested and on a Reflex test that was positive for Oxymorphone and Morphine. I have never taken either of these drugs. Why would they show up? Thanks!

Is there a difference between Oxycodone 5MG and Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen 5-325MG for pain relief? ## Hello, Janet! How are you? Oxycodone is stronger, but the since the Hydrocodone is coupled with Acetaminophen, which can augment that action of the Hydrocodone, it may work better for some people. 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.
