I found a white oblong pill with M366 on one side, what is this? ## Hello, Kiki! How are you? Yes, this tablet is manufactured by Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. 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?

I have been managing pain for quite some time, from 2 broken hips and a shattered heel. I've always been on hydro 10-300. I looked at my new scrip and it said "hydro 10-325". I was wondering if my physician switched me up to a higher dosage because I just sprained my wrist. I have been hurting and limping lately since the sprain.... Is the 10-325 stronger? ## Hello, Alb! How are you? The only difference in what you've listed is that the one has 25 more milligrams of Acetaminophen in it. The Acetaminophen helps the opiate to work better for some people. 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.

Has anyone that takes Opana ER ONLY had a problem with Oxycodone showing up on urine drug testing? ## This is the post to my above question, The same happened to me... I've been on Opana ER since 3/2007, never worried about UDT, never had a problem. I moved to Central Florida, new DR said UDT showed no med then sent out, came back positive Oxymorphone 13,456ng/ml and positive for Oxycodone Opana.com and a Opana search on Wiki will confirm this. I hate this for everyone whose Doctors discharge without checking with the labs. Oxycodone metabolites should show positive with the Oxymorphone....hope this helps ## The Dr. said he called Quest before he came in to fire me! ## Thank you for your response Terry. I have looked where you suggested for the information and can't find where i...

My husband was just told by his doctors office that there is a new process for getting his patches. They are telling him that he can no longer pick up the triplicate form, but they have to send it to the pharmacy via ups. The pharmacy is a quarter mile away, this seems rather extreme. Anyone else have this issue?

I need a doctor in the spokane area that will prescribe pain meds. I am from Ca and have severe chronic back pain from degenerative disk disease and multiple disk herniations as well as scoliosis. Having a lot of trouble finding a doctor that will help me here. ## You will need to have a copy of your medical records from your previous dr or the dr new dr may offer to get them. Each dr has their own way of treating their patients. A new dr may or may not give you the same meds or the same dose that your previous dr did. Most dr will start new patients out on the mildest and lowest dose of pain meds and go from there. You will have to stick with a dr for a while to see how they may end up prescribing for you. What have the drs you seen told you about why they won't treat you ? ## They...

My wife has horrible tooth pain in the upper and lower right molars. She just took two ea 200 mg ibuprofen about 1 hr ago with no relief. Can she take 1 10 mg hydrocodone/325 mg apap now? ## No, the two anti-inflammatories, Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen should not be mixed, that is too high of an amount of them and it raises the risk of bleeding and other complications. Has she contacted a dentist? ## correction. Ibuprofen and acteminophen serve 2 distinctly differant objectives and are wholey compatible to be used with each other. In fact is quite often perscrbed together. Ask doctor for cor5rect dossages. ## acetaminophen (Tylenol) does NOT have anti-inflammatory properties. It is ONLY an analgesic(pain reliever) and an antipyretic (fever reducer ## I have a severe toothache. I've b...

HOW DO I BRAKE THE HYDROCODON PAIN MED. HABIT,I TAKE 4 10-350 MG EVERY DAY CARLO ## Hi Carlo, Sorry to hear about your situation. Have you talked with your doctor about developing a tapering plan/schedule in order to gradually wean you off the Hydrocodone? I realize it can't be stopped abruptly without experiencing withdrawals, so this is probably the safest approach (in my opinion). Although if you needed more help with the cravings, something like Suboxone may be beneficial as well? This medication is widely used for treating opioid dependence and there is honestly an overwhelming amount of support on this site from those who've had success with using Suboxone for such purposes. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Suboxone Details, but I'd also recommend bro...

Is R333 Percocet 7.5/325? My last prescription for Percocet 7.5/325 said R332 and was flatter than the R333. ## Hi E J, There actually aren't any pills marked "R333" that fit your description. I think you may have meant to say "A 333" which is a white oblong pill containing 10mgs of oxycodone + 325mgs of acetaminophen (generic for Percocet). "A 332" fits the same physical description as the previous pill, aside from being slightly flatter due to having a smaller dosage of oxycodone (7.5 mg) instead of the 10mg in A333. I hope this helps explain things! ## I had a heck of a time figuring this out. R333 is the generic for A333. The ones I am getting are still made by Actavis. Check with your pharmacist, because it was unclear if the R333 designation is a univer...

Wasted $140 because I refuse to use something that does more damage than good ## I take perocet 10/apap and wentto get mine filled and they gave me a different one to it has ip something on it and it does nothing for my pain why do we have to accept meds that do not work please help me to tell what to tell the pharmacy? ## I am very sorry that you've both had a problem, unfortunately, there is nothing your pharmacy can do. However, I would suggest that you both report the issue to the FDA by calling them at 888-463-6332. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit for...

What are the side effects of this drugs in dogs? Is lose of appetite one of them? ## Hello, Based on my research, the Tussigon (Hydrocodone bitartrate + homatropine methylbromide) could possibly cause a dog to lose his/her appetite due to the fact that one of the common side effects is nausea/upset stomach. It is not uncommon for medications to cause these kinds of issues in humans and animals. If you have a dog that is experiencing a loss of appetite, I would contact a veterinarian as soon as possible. I hope this helps! ## My dog lost her appetite when taking Tussigon. She also had problems with her bowel movements which I attributed to her eating so infrequently. ## Unfortunately my little Angel died on February 7th. She would have been 15 on July 1st. I wish everyone success with th...

How long would it take to go through a withdrawal from these opioid pain meds such as norcos??? ## Hello, Becky! How are you? It actually depends on how long you were taking it, how much you were taking each day and the way your body reacts to stopping, so there's no hard and fast rule to quote for you. It may take anywhere from a few days to over a month, or so. The FDA lists the withdrawal effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, fever, chills, headache, diarrhea, rebound pain and depression. How long was the person in question taking it and how much were they taking?

Is there another over counter pill same as hydrocodone ## Hello, Mary! How are you? No, there is no over the counter replacement in the U.S. Hydrocodone is a narcotic, so it requires a prescription and doctor's regular monitoring. The FDA warns that 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?

Does oxcodone and tramadol have the same ingredients ## Hello, Melissa! How are you? No, they do not, what you've listed are the specific ingredients, Tramadol is Tramadol and Oxycodone is Oxycodone. Tramadol is actually a very mild opioid and Oxycodone is much stronger. The FDA classifies this medication as narcotic analgesics, so they have the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Can oxycodone that expired a year ago still be used in an emergency. ## Hello, Hal! How are you? This medication does not become dangerous, once expired, but it does begin to lose effectiveness. Thus, it could be used, if your doctor approves, but the best thing to do would be to dispose of it and obtain a new prescription. 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.

I'm trying to figure out if these meds are the same. If not what's the difference? ## Hello, Lucy! How are you? They are the same, just manufactured by difference companies. The one with the V marking is manufactured by Qualitest Pharmaceuticals and the one with the logo 230 is manufactured by Actavis. 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.

Hi, I'm a 27 year old male with 2 thoracic disc protrusions, 1 lumbar protrusion, also have facet disease through entire spine. Also cord impingement in both of the thoracic disc areas. My question is that I'm currently on three 10/325 hydrocodone a day, but I'm finding im needing more than the 3 a day to manage my pain. Is it possible or safe to take 4-5 of these a day? I've been on hydrocodone for 3 years now and at most I only get about an hour of relief from my current dose. ## Hello, Justin! How are you? The main concern is actually the Acetaminophen that's in them, taking too much of it in a day can result in overdose toxicity, which could lead to liver damage, failure or even death. 4 or 5 of them in a day isn't an unreasonable dose, but only your doctor c...
