Hi~ For several years, I have been prescribed 4/day butal/ASA/caf/cod for h/a's, neck pain and flank pain...because of (dr believes) the aspirin, I've had tummy problems (hurts!), so he changed rx to butal/ACETAM/caf/cod...is one stronger than the other? Is the acetam more "dangerous" to my liver than aspirin? Thank you so much! ## Both Acetaminophen and Aspirin have risks/problems that they can cause. As a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, Aspirin is much more rough on the stomach, so it's highly possible that it was causing some irritation or even an ulceration, that was causing the stomach pain. The double whammy from it is that it also has a blood thinning effect, so if you end up with a bleeding ulcer, there's a chance of hemorrhage. Learn more Aspirin details...

i was on 100 mg if that a day of tramadol and up to a xanex a night i found out i 4 weeks pregnant and just stopped will the baby be ok ## Hi, Ashley! How are you? Congrats on the pregnancy! On this, you really need to talk to your doctor, when you're pregnant it can be hard to know what may have an effect or what might not. However, both of these medications have been known to cause fetal risk, so that makes it even more urgent that you discuss it with your doctor. In many cases, very early on, the damage may not be significant or permanent, but only your doctor can check and let you know for sure. Learn more Tramadol details here. Learn more Xanax details here. Do you already have an OB Gyn? ## Yes thank you. I think i am going to be ok. No egave me a real answer so i just stopped...

I found a small, white (almost a pale yellowish color), oblong pill with 'M375' on one side & on the other side, there is a split that goes across the middle of the pill. Can anyone please tell me what this is!? ## Is the marking possibly M 357? If so, this tablet contains 500mgs of Acetaminophen and 5mgs of Hydrocodone, which is a narcotic analgesic commonly sold/prescribed under the brand names Lortab, Norco or Vicodin. It has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Learn more Vicodin details here.

I have used hydrocodone 10/325 for quite some time possibly a year at about 2 per day sometimes up to 4 with a few days a month off. However, I knew I had to take a 10 panel drug test before 9/21/13 so my last pill was 11 days ago and I only took one the whole day. My question is will I test dirty or was 11 days more than enough time to get this out of my urine? ## Does anyone know the answer to this? Please I really need to know!

I have already took my suboxone but I want to take my morphine 60 milligrams for my back pain but don't want to canceled out my suboxone. will the morphine cancel out my suboxone. ## No, it is actually the Naloxone in the Suboxone that will neutralize the Morphine, the Morphine doesn't neutralize anything. Learn more Suboxone details here. Learn more Morphine details here. If you require the Morphine for pain, why have you been prescribed Suboxone, rather than Subutex?

I am one of the unfortunate individuals that suffer from a mouth full of canker sores each time I have to take an OTC pain killer due to the SLS. I have already changed my tooth paste. Since I suffer from osteoarthritis, there are days when taking these pain killers is not an option. My question is, are there any pain killers in the US that do not contain Sodium Laurel Sulfate? Thank you for any help you can offer. ## Hi, Lauren! Sorry about the problems you've been having. Unfortunately, there is no central repository of this type of information. However, your pharmacist may be able to help. They can usually put the problematic substance or allergen in their computer and check medications against it, since they have to keep a list of all them, including the inactive ingredients. Ha...

For Lortab 10/500, I have found that the oval bluish-purple (texture is chalky) tablets are very potent aand have a long duration. Has anyone ever seen/tried this form? ## hi, Herman! How are you? Are there any markings on the ones you're taking about? That will make it easier for anyone to know if they've taken it, or not, since the colors actually don't mean anything. There are several that resemble that, since this is available as a generic. Learn more Lortab details here.

Can you take two of V3604?? ## Hi, Kala! How are you? This tablet contains 5mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, it is a narcotic analgesic. And it's not advisable to take two of them, unless your doctor has said it's okay for you to do so, because it does have the potential to be habit forming and too much of the Acetaminophen can be very dangerous. Learn more Lortab details here. This medication may also cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

i have an old opana 40mg and i'd like to shoot it. How do i do this does anybody know??? ## It can actually be very dangerous to try to inject pills, since they aren't intended to be used in such a manner. On top of the risk of overdose, tablets also contain fillers and not all of them are meant to be broken down by the body. These products are normally just expelled as waste. Thus, injecting them does create the possibility of causing blockages, which may lead to stroke or embolism. Learn more Opana details here. How old is it? ## What a buzz kill!!! If someone wants to take a pill, let them. ## do u still need help?? i can help you that is the only way i do it :) ## I still need help with this please!

Sorry about what has happened to your friend. I'm not sure which medication he is taking, since you seem to be confusing 2 different brand names, Oxycontin and Roxicodone, but they both contain the narcotic Oxycodone, it's just that the Oxycontin is a time released formulation of it. Learn more Oxycodone details here. Yes, it can be very habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness and drowsiness. How long has he been on it?

I'm wondering what is best med for s1 protruding disc and a pinched nerve until I can get into pain management for the steroid IV's ## HI, Amy! Sorry that you're in pain. However, there's really no way to say what the best pain medication would be, because what works for someone else may not work for you. What has your doctor advised? Much of it is also going to depend on your overall health and your tolerance to any given class of medication. Have you ever taken opiates, before?

I am sorry for including all of this info but I am being as detailed as possible. I am a 57 year old woman. 5 years ago a swarm of bees hit our horses as our work team building trail ride crested a small mountain. I was thrown off my horse, broke my pelvis, severe damage to back & neck, and was trampled by three other horses causing organ damage and internal bleeding. Ambulance couldn't get to me so I was strapped on an ATV and bounced down the rocky slope. A medi-vac took me to a trauma center. Several days in ICU, 3 weeks hospital stay, a month stay in a rehab facility to learn to walk again. Then in-home therapy, followed by in clinic therapy for months.

I found some hydrocodone from 1993. So tempted to try it , but don't want to die because of it????? What do I do????? ## Hi Blaque, I definitely wouldn't recommend trying something that has been degrading for over 20 years now. Odds are that it'll cause more harm than any high might be worth. It sounds like your best bet would probably be to turn the pills into your local pharmacy or police department. This way you can at least know that they'll be disposed of properly. I hope this helps!
