I found a white oblong pill imprinted with bh on one side and blank on the other side, what is it? ## Hi Alexi, I haven't found an exact match to your pill, but I did come across a couple other pills with a very similar marking that could possibly be related. These pills had imprints of "BH 8" and "B8"; each of them being identified as Betahistine (an antivertigo drug). Their markings make me wonder if they could even be from the same manufacturer. Do you have any other clues about the type of medication it might be, based on where you picked it up at? ## its generic for tylenol there called assured 500mg

I have been in pain management for years and need to get a job. Want to get a CDL license and have to deal with a DOT physical. How long will it take for these drugs to leave my system? I take 60mg MS Contin twice a day and Norco 10/325 twice a day. Coming off these drugs wont be easy and the withdrawal effects will probably take longer than them coming out of my system. Don't know if I will be able to take the pain but need to try.

I live in MN. I am prescribed oxycodone 5/325 6 tabs day & Oxycontin 15mg 3 x day. My husband has severe pain also and will not go to the Dr so I ended up short this month. My PCP gave me Oxycodone 10 mg 3 a day. I am supposed to be counted & since i couldn't provide my meds they did a urine test. I am also on 10 mg of valium for my muscle spasms which 1 hour before my test I took 2 tabs of that and 2 tabs of the 10mg oxycodone. No tyl at all in my system. I know i have a messed up system due to thyroid issues, & dehydration so I am also afraid that it is going to show higher than normal levels. I know I am throwing a lot out here, and not sure what I am asking, but I am afraid that she (at the pain clinic) will now pull the state report showing I received another script...

I need to know about this medicine. I have been taking Oxycodone-APAP 7.5/325 mg (Mallin). Last month the pharmacy changed my brand to Endocet 7.5/325. Does not work as well. Still have pain with the same doseage. I only take 2 a day. Now this month I recieved from the same parmacy 7.5/325 Oxycodon-Acetaminopen (Alvoge). Now I think it has caused me to have heart palpatations and some breathing difficulty. I also caused me to have a headache. My head feels thick in the back. Now all these meds are supposed to be the same but I beg to differ with them. I really dont like taking them but I want something to take the pain away not kill me. I stil have pain with all this. My Dr has decreased the dosage from 3 xs a day to 2 xs a day. But now @ nite I take two extra strength tylonel to get th...

I weigh about 110 pounds and I have been dealing with lower back pain from a fall which injured my tailbone and also have pain in my legs. For six years now . I was wondering how strong the morphine 30 milligram extended release was? I have had loratab before and 20 milligram oxycodone. But I certainly don't want to overdose on it. Can someone help me out? I have a fair tolerance to opiods. ## Hello, Sis! How are you? Each 30mgs of Morphine is actually equivalent to 20mgs of Oxycodone, so Oxycodone is actually 1 and a half times stronger, which should give you some basis for comparison. 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. ...

took one hydrocodone 5/300mg have not taken any since about 8 months ago. how long will one pill stay in my urine ## 2-7 days approximately. i dont think it matters that you havent taken it in a long time and actually i think it will stay in your system a bit longer compared to if you were to take it on a semi regular basis because now it is "foreign" substance that your body wants to "study" if that makes sense. or who knows, maybe im wrong. maybe it will come out faster, but the rule of them for opiates is about 3 days from the point you took your last dose

I have had several pain intensive surgeries followed by Dr. prescrptions of Vicodin & Percocet on various occasions in the past. Each time I would have surplus meds (with dispose of dates listed on container) leftover after pain subsided. My question is do these meds have a shelf life where they become ineffective or worse, toxic? ## No, these types of medications do not become toxic, but they will start to lose effectiveness past the expiration date. There's no precise time frame to give, because it depends on storage conditions, but the one year date from the pharmacy is the maximum time they can be sure they'll remain fully effective. Learn more Vicodin details here. Learn more Percocet details here. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thanks for the expiration inf...

Round beige pill crescent moon on one side the other side is either 311 or 3h. I believe it's made by actavis but not sure what kind of pill this is and can't find anything about it during my searches. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ## The closest match I've seen here by Actavis was a round "pink" pill with a crescent moon on one side and 311 on the other. That particular tablet reportedly contains 60mgs of Morphine sulfate ER. I think your guess about the manufacturer being Actavis is spot on, due to the crescent moon. However, my opinion is that it would probably be best to contact Actavis directly in order to verify the ingredients. You can reach their U.S. Customer Relations Department at: +1 (800) 272-5525 I hope this helps!

I have paid for my prescription. I haven't started it. My md said to wait until I have two days off to start. So by taking lyrica 50mg 1 st time how long should i be tired? ## Hello, Cat! How are you? Being tired and drowsy is a possible side effect of taking it, but if you experience it, it will most likely occur off an on for a few weeks, not just 2 days. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, mood swings and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with? ## There are tons of symptoms, I actually had issues with my speech, sight and hearing and any others. You need to remember every one is different with different prod different reactions. I would suggest that you try other medications first if there are other types that could work. Do research and ask the phar...

Am I Able To Take Codeine #3, If I'm Allergic To Penicillin&Amox? And Am I Able To Take Naproxen ? ( Seperatly ) ## Yes. Codiene # 3 is Codeine 30 mg/Acetaminophen 325 mg and is used for pain relief. Naproxen is an nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is used to reduce inflammation and lower fever. Penicillin and amoxicillin are antibotics and are used to treat infections. Being allergic to Penicillin and amoxicillin has nothing to do with Codiene # 3 and narpoxen. ## Codeine #3 IS NOT 30mg of codeine. That is actually called Tylenol #3 with codeine. Please be careful what you read on here! Codeine comes in 2.5, 5, 7 mg, etc. This reply was shocking to read,v and I hope that wasn't an actual doctor replying. ## I believe the person who said Codeine 3 meant Tylenol...

I have a red circle pill with HAB on it wat is it ## Hi Keisha, Based on the pill imprint I'm led to believe that these may be manufactured by a company called HAB Pharmaceuticals out of India. Apparently, they've been thought to be a form of Tramadol. However I could not locate any specific details to verify the accuracy of this information. If I could suggest anything, I'd just encourage you to contact HAB Pharmaceuticals directly (via "[email protected]") to find out if it's truly something they make. As far as I can tell, they're supposed to be a legitimate manufacturer, but the validity of the pill itself probably depends on where/how you came about receiving it. Hope this helps!

I take oxicodone 10mg for a bad back & they just don't seam to work that well. I was told delotta is better & less sight effects. Is this true & if so, what mg of delotta should I take to be equal to OR BETTER THAN the 10mg oxicodone I'm taking now?? ## The name if this medication is often misunderstood, it's actually called Dilaudid and the active ingredient is Hydromorphone. And it is a very potent narcotic that like any other will require a doctor's prescription. However, it is slightly stronger than the Oxycodone and you'd only require 3.75mgs of it for each 10mgs of the Oxycodone. Learn more Dilaudid details here. The part about their being less side effects is not true, though, it can cause the same side effects as Oxycodone, how many you experience...

I am prescribed 150 mg Lyrica and periodically get urine screens that are sent to labs to allow my script to keep being prescribed. Problem is I've been out of my lyrica and don't get it refilled for 15 more days. To prevent withdrawals I've been taking gabapentin 600s daily. My question is if I should get called in for a urine-lab screen will the gabapentin show up the same as my lyrica would have, bc their part of the GABA sisters?? I'm not sure if they're specifically testing for the drug or if they're just testing to be sure there's no other drugs in my system. I wanna be sure I'm safe in either scenario. Thanks in advance!

I was accused of self medicating because i ran short on my meds at time of appt. this happened because i simply misunderstood the as needed part on bottle label and took a few at times when the meds wore off after 4 hours. I was supposed to take 1 every 6 hours only so the label mislead me, they cut me loose after a year of dealing with them with nothing to get me to another clinic and simply stated that i was a high risk. i think the main reason they cut me off is due to the fact that i have major respiratory issues so i guess this tells me that no one will help me over this and i guess it means that i will have to just die in major pain because they don't want to help me over these issues. so what am i supposed to do next? any light on this subject would be greatly appreciated. th...

In drug court and sober for 1yr. We have a medication list of otc drugs we can take. Ibuprofen is on the list. I took 5 gel cap ibuprofen of the CVS generic brand on Tuesday and tested Thursday morning which was positive for tml (tramadol). I haven't taken ANYTHING but the gel cap ibuprofen. We did have a Christmas party at drug court counseling where everyone was required to bring a dish on Wednesday night! I was about to get my kids back now I may be sent to prison!!! What could have happened? Does anyone know if a large dose of gel caps ibuprofen could do this? Help please!

Is a 25mil fentanyl patch as strong as 40 mil of methadone? ## From what I've read online, fentanyl is reportedly much stronger than methadone. But because the forms of administration are two worlds apart (one being a transdermal patch and the other being a pill), I honestly don't think there's such thing as an "equivalent dose" between the two; especially since each medication effects people differently. Have you talked with your doctor yet about trying one or the other? ## I am taking 50 fentanyl patches but waiting for 3 days in between them is no good and I am now replacing the patches every 2nd day but the hours are different. The Notes for Patients are a scream. Says they don't even have an effect for the first 24 hours!!! That after removal of one the skin...

I need to get Tramadol for my back pain, and since I don't have insurance, it's too expensive for me to get it in the traditional way (going to the doctor to get a prescription and then going to the pharmacy to buy it). I know there are tons of websites were you can get it online without any prior prescription, but I would love any advice from someone that knows about this subject and can point me to a legit store. I don't want any overseas store, I'm looking for US based stores. Thanks. ## Hi Lily, I know you're not too keen on having to obtain a prescription, but there are plenty of rx discount cards available for patients to print out online, that can save you a large percentage on your medication every time you fill it. The only problems I see with ordering onlin...

If Vernon or anyone else would know the answer to this question; I would greatly appreciate it. I have written a few times about being given very STRONG pain medication and not getting any relief. It was via an IV and the meds were Morphine 8mg, Dilaudid (2 shots?? don't know why..) and Toradol. I just need to know if a HAIR TEST which my doctor will prescribe for me would indicate the presence of Morphine, Toradol and Dilaudid (which is 10 times as strong as oxycontin 40mg depending on the dose) ?? I read that ALL drugs can be detected in your hair even if you wash your hair every day and are out in the sunlight 24/7....and they can tell with some degree of accuracy the approx. date of the introduction of said meds into one's system. If Vernon is still there...I did make a comp...
