I was needing to know if I took one Watson 933 yesterday and 1 last Wednesday, will I pass a pre-employ d-test tomorrow evening? I weigh 274 and its been almost 3 years since the last time I've taken a pain pill. Thank you. ## The tablet with the Watson 933 marking contains 325mgs of Acetaminophen and 7.5mgs of Oxycodone, which is a generic for Percocet, a narcotic pain reliever. Like most other narcotics, Oxycodone is usually detectable in a standard urine test for approximately 4 to 5 days, after last dosing. This will vary from person to person, however, depending on certain individuating factors, such as your metabolism, overall health, activity levels, fluid intake and etc. Learn more: Percocet Details Are there any other questions or comments? ## It take a complete 72 hours to...

I read that Actavis is makeing a generis OxyContin, I am prescribed 80mg. OxyContin, and because all the idiots that abused the original. Purdue had no choice but to make it to where u could no longer snort it, shoot it, plus I was told it was smoked as well. I am not looking for a generic that is made like the original, I am looking for a generic made like the namebrand is made now, I am just looking for a generic to save money. I am spending $15 a pill, and that is rediculas. OxyContin is the only time release medication that works for me, and I have been takeing it since 1997. Some Company needs to step in and help those who are in C.P. and no ins. I use to get the generics for a RX of 180 pills, in one month went up from $395.00 to next month $900.00. The next month $1575, and the P...

I am having trouble with my vision, I just increased from 1800 mgs a day to 2400 mgs per day ## That is quite a high dosage to be taking and, the more you take of any medication, the more side effects you will experience, even if it is split into several even doses over the day. Learn more Morphine details here. Since this a narcotic, it has been known to cause vision issues in some people that take it, though the severity usually tapers off as your body adjusts to the new dosage. Have you talked to your doctor about it? How severe is it? Is it just blurry vision, or something else?

I came across a white one with cdn on 1 side and 20 on the other im use to the pink ones has anyone else seen white 20's? ## It may not be the same thing, the company that uses the CDN marking uses it and the same numbers on many pills and the only way to tell them apart is by the shape and color. That said, I haven't found a listing for this, yet, but I will keep looking and post back if I find anything. Does anyone else recognize this one? ## I HAVE TRIED A GREEN ONE TODAY WITH 80 CDN ON IT AND IT TASTES AND WORKS LIKE A REAL OXY I VE HAD TWO PRIOR SURGERIES AND FACING MY FINAL NECK SURGERY AND THESE ARE ALL THAT CONTROL MY PAIN WITH EXTENDED RELEASE ID DO ANYTHING LEGAL TO OBTAIN MY MEDICATION FOR MY PAIN RELIEF IM WONDERING IF THEY ARE IN CANADA AND IF IT IS LEGAL FOR ME TO ...

These days it's common for FM doctors to deny patients opiates on the grounds that studies have proven opiates to be ineffective against pain relief for FM. I've been unable to find any study supporting this that was not partly funded by Pfizer. This is problematic because Pfizer was convicted earlier this year of violating federal racketeering laws for it's marketing practices, which included making false claims about the effectiveness and lack of negative side effects of certain of its drugs. Perhaps you could help in this research. The next time a doctor tells you opiates have been proven ineffective against FM pain relief, ask: Do you know of any study supporting your position that was not funded by racketeers? Has anyone found Lyrica to be an effective replacement for o...

I am filing a civil action against the FDA -- let me explain what is really going on. There is NO SHORTAGE of Oxycodone. The FDA is forcing drug companies to produce and distribute less because of the Pain Clinics issuing scripts like candy and the handful of unfortunate related deaths of youngsters. I am a Stage IV Cancer patient and ran into the same problem - have to call over 70 drug stores a month to find a place to fill a script that is legal. I wrote a warning letter to the FDA which has been ignored - so now it is time for action. If anyone wants to donate toward this - "Class Action Suit: which would be helpful - please email me for information. My Email is xxxxxxx@xxxx - in the subject line put: "Law Suit" and I will send you information. Let's stop these feder...

Can i buy them over the counter ## Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but to my knowledge, even though Ibuprofen is an OTC drug, I think the 800mg dose on the pill you're describing is considered to be prescription strength and therefore may not be available over-the-counter. Have you checked prices at your local pharmacy? I'm sure the cost varies place by place. The National Drug Code (NDC) for this specific pill is: 55111-0684. Maybe the pharmacy can look up the cost for you using this code. I hope this helps!

I take 60 mg of morphine 3 times daily. Last month i was prescribed Mylan which seem to help me more than Mallinckrodt, which i got this month. How can i make sure to get the generic from Mylan in the future? ## You should discuss it with your pharmacy, they can usually order the one from the other manufacturer in for you, but you may have to pay any price difference between it and the other generic they offer.

i have been on morphine sulfate 60mg er for 3 months. the color of the pills have been pink with abg on one side and 60 on the other....this past rx i noticed that half of the pills are colored dark orange....abg on one side 60 on the other..i just want to make sure that they are the same strength...has anyone had this same thing happen to them...any answer would be very appreciated.. ## I just looked up the imprint ABG 60, and the orange pill is in fact Morphine sulfate CR 60 mg. It is manufactured by Watson Pharmaceuticals. One possible difference other than the color, could be that the orange pill is noted to be "controlled release (CR)" instead of what you mentioned the pink one to be- "extended release (ER)". I'm not sure however what difference it would make to...

i had oxycodone in my system, i am in an out patient drug program, i drank a detox drink from gnc, dont remember the name only the word eclipse and maximum strength, i folled the directions to a T and i tested positive for opiates, well they are sending it to the lab, beings as i drank the detox do you think it will come back ok, i dont know why it showed up opiates when the test has a panal for oxycone itself, i have done this in the past and it came back ok, just trying to figur out why it showed up opiates instead of oxy ## Oxycodone is an opiate, so it can show up as one on test that look for the presence of opiates, however, I am not sure why it wasn't detected as itself, if they also look for the specific drugs.

What is in this combination drug oxycod/apap 5-325? I take one-half of one of these tablets two to three times for back pain and have been doing so for about 3 months. Is that dossage in the long term addictive and can it do damage to my liver? ## You asked this question at the perfect time because I was just researching Acetaminophen and liver damage only moments before I saw your post. I came across an article stating that, "In January 2011, the FDA announced it was asking manufacturers of prescription APAP combination products to limit the maximum amount of the drug in these products to 325 mg per tablet, capsule, or other dosage unit. The FDA believes that such a limitation will reduce the risk of hepatoxicity, liver failure, and death related to APAP overdose." The normal d...

IM ACCUSED OF TAKING MORIPHINE FROM A URIN SAMPLE AND THEY GAVE ME THE PRESCTIPYION FOR OXYCODONE 5 325 AND HAVE TAKEN IT A LONG LONG TIME IS THERE ENOUGH IN IT TO SHOW IN URINE SAMPLE DRUG TEST OTHER WISE I REALY DONT KNOW WHERE IT IS COMING FROM. ## It would show in a urine test but as oxycodone not morphine unless they are just checking for opiates, then that's what it would show as ## It actually depends on the type of test that they are using. If they are using a less expensive, non-certified test, then they are known to show false positives for other substances anywhere from 4 to 50% of the time. And, in actuality, most semi-synthetic or synthetic narcotics are well known to cause false positives for their relatives on such tests. Learn more Oxycodone details here. Learn more ...

what is the difference between hydrocodon 5-325 and hydocodone 5-500? also should I take both or just 1 every 4 hrs as prescribed. ## The difference between the two is that the the first one you mentioned contains 5mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen and the second contains 5mgs of Hydrocodone, with 500mgs of Acetaminophen. The name brand for this would be Vicodin. The Hydrocodone is a narcotic, which can be addictive. and coupled with the Acetaminophen, which can be toxic if you take too much in a day, you should only take the amount you have been prescribed. This medication may also cause side effects, such as: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth.

I was told that Watson is discontinuing the light blue oval 10mg loritabs? Liver damages was the reason given? ## Currently, removing many doses of Hydrocodone with Acetaminophen, is something that's being taken under consideration, because of the liver damage that the Acetaminophen can cause. They want to make it so that only a few are available, to better restrict how much Acetaminophen someone can take in a day, when they are on this. Learn more Vicodin details here. Is there anything else I can help with?

Ok went to a New pain clinic yesterday and all went very well except one thing. They had me take a pee test and I wasn't worried about it in ANY way. Well all came back except one thing...it said I had methamphetamine in my pee.I have NEVER EVER in my life taking anything like that in my life. I was so upset I was beside myself. What would cause that to show up like that? Could it be a combination of meds that I am taking?.I am being to think I was set up because they also offer a counseling class that you have to pay for it you test positive. The bottle that I peed in was not in a sealed bag and I didn't see the nurse take it out of any sealed bag, also I just left it on the counter with the nurse after I was done and didn't see any tampering device on it afterwards.
