blue and white capsule with red and black band ## I found a pill in my house. It is a capsule, and has blue at one end and red at the other - a white section in he middle. There is no label. It has a definite ridge down one side - and my first impression is that it looked homemade. Any thoughts? Thanks ## If there are no markings, it is impossibly to positively identify,however, it sounds like it may be a generic or store brand of Tylenol. ## I found a pill in my house.

I have took percets for 7 months and I have been flushing for 6 days and have been clean for 6 days . If I test urine today will I pass ## There is a high likelihood that you will, the Oxycodone in Percocet is usually detectable for approximately 4 to 5 days, after last dosing. The time frame, however, can vary from person to person, depending on your overall health, activity levels, fluid intake and etc. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hello wanted to know if you passed the drug test & if the test was sent to the lab?

white oblong pill, with nothing on one side a IP 110 on the other. He was told it was a vicodin. The oblong white pill has a small slash across the pill for easy to cut in half. ## Hi Chrissie, That is correct. The imprint "ip 110" is identified as Vicodin 325/10; which is a combination of two types of pain medicine to treat moderate to severe pain. For verification, the National Drug Code (NDC) for this pill is: 53746-0110 Learn More: Acetaminophen + Hydrocodone Details I hope this helps!

Qualitest's hydrocodone/apap 10/325 V 36 01 makes me itch & causing head and ear congestion. ## Sometimes the fillers in these pills can cause allergic reactions, such as that which you mentioned in your description. Certain "inactive" ingredients that may or may not be present in each brand, are actually detrimental to how the drug is metabolized and used by your body. Because everyone is different, your body may agree with one medication over the other, due to how you feel or based on whatever side effects present themselves. Have you considered contacting your doctor or pharmacy about switching brand names or manufacturers? I don't think they all have dye in them, but it would be good to confirm that with the pharmacist before you fill any future prescriptions. Ho...

Can anyone advise me on a pain management physician somewhere in or around Virginia that is willing to treat with Fentanyl Patch for pain control? I have severe lordosis, pinched nerve (inoperable) and have received multiple steroid injections at both L5 and L2. The Lumbar pain has only worsened with severe Sciatica down my left leg to my left foot. I was actually discharged from the Marine Corps at age 19 for severe back pain, which over the years has responded to oral steroids, but no longer. I am being prescribed Vicodin for pain 2 tabs every 4 hours. However, the pain control is not consistent due to sleep, and I also fear taking 5 Grams/Tylenol every day. I just feel that being placed on a fentanyl patch makes more sense than constant refills of Vicodin and having to stop to take t...

IDEA Administrator - Michele Leonhart - Called Out by Rep. Jared Polis - Watch this on YouTube. Also another one with Steve Cohen. This women has been ruining legitimate pain patients lives here in Florida and Georgia lately. Now I think I understand the comment every druggist gives when you have a script for oxycodone the one that goes "I don't feel comfortable filling this for you." My family my friends and myself have all heard this EXACT same line from workers in Walgreens CVS and all the other stores. This is coming straight from this woman. Now I know why the cleaning up of the pill-mills was done so fast and furious. Without any concern for us people in pain.

Is there a chart or bell curve to show how fast, and how long 30mg Oxycontin pain pills provide relief ? There must be some way to determine how much pain relief I should be getting from this one pain pill lasting 12 hours, and when. Certainly no one is getting a full 30mg. of this pain medicine for the full 12 hours. Can you help me understand why I need to take (1) or (2) 5mg Oxycodone pain pills 2 or 3 times a day until the second Oxycontin is due? I have very severe pain from Post Polio Syndrome, and my Doctors know very little of the etiology of this condition, nor just how bad this pain is 24/7 It's been 60 years since my original bout with childhood polio, and 24 years now since PPS came knocking on my door. I know how much Oxycodone I need to get me to a level I can live wit...

Does anyone know anything about this new medication, and the strength's that they are available in? I'm in desperate need to find a new medication to replace the meds that I've been prescribed for the past 5 years! I've been prescribed Opana ER 40mg tablets, and my dosage is take 2 tabs by mouth 3 times daily. That's for my long-term, and I take Opana IR 10mg's 1 tab by mouth 6 times daily for break-thru pain. I'm disabled, and have several different spinal diseases causing a great deal of pain all day & night. There's no cure for Spinal Arachadontis, and severe nerve impingements throughout my entire lower lumbar that causes severe pain down my legs, shin, and throbbing pain under my knee cap!!

I have been using Roxanol rectally and lately I've had to increase my dose due to escalating pain but I've found my tolerance seems to have shot up really fast. I am taking a break as best I can, does anyone know how long it will take to get my tolerance back to where my regular dose will be effective - regret doing this very much. ## There's really no defined time frame to even guess at, it can vary from person to person, just as much as having your tolerance grow can vary. Learn more Roxanol details here. Have you talked to your doctor for assistance? Have you tried any other medications? ## Yes to both and I am trying the longer acting version for now with different break through meds, so far I think this will be better for me. Downside is it's not as fast-acting but ...

I am taking roxycodone from my dr , I found a bottle of oxycodone in my medicine chest and took two for a tooth ach I have been taking both now and have to take a urin test tommorow will they know I'm taking both drugs or does oxycodone and roxycodone test as the same medication ## The active narcotic in both is Oxycodone, so they will both show as the same drug on a test. The problem you may run into, however, is if they check for the levels of it. If they do that, then your levels may be too high for what you're prescribed. Learn more Oxycodone details here. Are there any other comments or questions?

What is a white, oblong tablet with 44 413 on it? ## I am unable to locate this pill based on the description provided. Are you certain those are the correct markings on the tablet?

This is sold at Dollar Tree stores. Good for back and joint pain - about it.

Is Hydrocodone Apap 10 325 safe to take if I am allergic to Codeine ? ## That's actually a good question, because Hydrocodone is a derivative of codeine. However my mom is allergic to codeine as well and she's on the same dose of Hydrocodone apap (10/325) right now and hasn't had any bad reactions other than the typical itching sensation that is sometimes associated with this combination. She was also initially worried about an allergic reaction but hasn't experienced one. With codeine she would break out in hives and whatnot. So I can only base my answer off of her experience, in that it should be fine since it's a derivative of codeine and not actual codeine. I hope this helps! ## They aren't the same substance, though they are distantly related, so being aller...

i am getting pregabalin but have just spoke to my doctor about repeat priscription and it sounded like he said pregabmil will be at my chemist in prescription in the morning and would like to know is this the same medication i take it for nerve damage. ## There's actually no such drug by the name of pregabmil, at least here in the US. Are you sure your doctor didn't say Pregabalin and it just came out sounding different? Pregabalin is primarily used to relieve neuropathic pain (pain from damaged nerves) that can occur in your arms, hands, fingers, legs, or feet. Learn More: Pregabalin Details I hope this helps!
