Manufactured by: Alvogen Pharmaceuticals National Drug Code: 47781-0196 I hope this helps! ## Just found a ALV 196 BLUE PILL..I RESEARCHED IT AND IT SAYS IT'S PERCOCET 5..I HAVE NEVER SEEN A PEEK LOOK LIKE THIS OR THE NAME ALV...is this real?? Safe for me to take? ## Does this blue pill with ALV 196 oxycodone 5 mg have gel in it? I just picked it up and now am afraid I will get sick when taking it as someone said.

Does percocet 15mg come in color white? Other than green or light green is there such a thing as a white 15mg percocet? ## There is no Percocet available that contains 15mgs of anything, it is only available with a maximum of 10mgs of the Oxycodone. A 15mg tablet would just be one that contains Oxycodone and it is available in the time released formulation under the name brand Oxycontin and in the regular released formulation which is available under the brand name Roxicodone, as well as a generic. Learn more Oxycodone details here. And that said, the color doesn't actually mean anything. The manufacturer can make it any color they please. The only way to be certain of what it is would be by checking the imprint on the tablet. Can you post back with any markings on it? If you do so,...

According to the FDA, generic drugs only become available after rigorous review and after a set time period that the brand-name version has been on the market exclusively. The FDA goes on to state that this is because new drugs are usually protected by patents that prohibit others from making/selling copies while drug manufacturers recoup the costs of bringing a new drug to the market (- as if they really need the financial support, right?) As per the FDA, generic drugs also tend to cost less than brand-name because generic drug applicants do not have to repeat clinical studies (both animal & human) that were "required" by brand-name drugs to demonstrate safety & efficacy. The FDA insinuates that because of this and the competition between brands + multiple generics are ...

are watson perks stronger than endo perks ## Hello, Technically the strength of the pills should be the same so long as the dosage of the medication remains the same, however, there are some factors that come into play when talking about how each pill will react with you. Does the pill have a slow release coating? If so it will take effect at a slower rate but lasts longer and the effects will be much weaker. You also have to take into consideration the inactive ingredients in a pill which will also affect how your body reacts to the medication. There is also a lot of mental limitations here, sometimes people get so wrapped up into the idea that the medication they are currently taking is superior and when they do take another brand their thoughts can have a physical impact. It is alway...

Generic percocet ## Can someone please help me with this search. I've been told its generic percocet. Smaill round white pill. Imprint code 1P over 17. Does anyone know where I can find the mg or any other info? Is it really generic percs?? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you ## This tablet is manufactured by Amneal Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 2mgs of Lorazepam, which is a generic for Ativan. It is a benzodiazepine that is most commonly used to treat anxiety, and nervous disorders. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such dizziness, headache, nausea, drowsiness, sedation, and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with?

I took a half of perocet over and hour later wasnt thinking and took two tsps of codeine based cough med. My head feels weird. Should i be sure not to fall asleep? Im worried ## Hello, Kate! How are you? Did you experience any adverse effects? I doubt that was enough to be dangerous, but you can never really know how it may affect any given person. This is 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. ## Can I take a 30 mg Codeine instead of a 5 mg Percocet? Will that be the same or stronger?

There are a couple of untrustworthy people that my wife hangs around with who are constantly stealing my percocet 10/325. I am seraching for a decoy that will be useless to them the next time they steal them. I can't find anything from a u.s. pharmacy that will do the trick. Are there any foreign pharmacies or over the counter products who make what i need? ## @Jim, It sounds like your best bet would probably be to get a hidden video camera/recorder set up so you can see and hear exactly who's taking your medicine. Stealing a prescription is a federal offense, so showing evidence to the police should enable them to put a warrant out for this person's arrest. Unfortunately there's no other legitimate pharmaceutical pills that look alike since the markings are so unique he...

Im havin alot of trouble finding a pharmacy that carries yellow perc 10/325s n my area. Most of them carry the IP204s but these dont work nearly as well. Is it ok 2 call pharmacies & ask which 1s they carry? ## Whichever one that a pharmacy has in stock will depend on who was offering the cheapest price at the time they needed to replenish their supply. Learn more Percocet details here. That said, no calling will not get you straight and accurate answers, due to the fact that this is a controlled substance and they have no way of knowing if the person on the phone is a legitimate customer with a need, or a potential thief. Thus, you'd have to go in and actually show them your prescription to find out. If you know who the manufacturer is of the ones that worked well for you, you ...

This is in reference to Amneal Pharmaceutical's "7.5/325" Oxycodone, the label which also reads in part: "*7.5 mg oxycodone HCI, USP is equivalent to 6.7228 mg of oxycodone" without explaining what that means. CVS switched my brand last month and claim that all brands are the same strength. NOT SO, according to the level of pain and everyone who is in pain knows that pain does no lie. Having a website where people can rant about their product to one another is an old trick perfected by Apple, Google, and Microsoft to make us think that somehow they're part of the conversation. Do not take no for an answer in telling your doctor, pharmacist, and insurance that you insist on something that works and is in fact the strength that your doctor prescribed! ## Generics c...

What is the timeline for withdrawal from percocet? Many say that it takes a month. Is that true? ## Hello, Rileyrose 1! How are you? It can vary from person to person and will also depend on how long they were taking it, how much they were taking and how often they were taking it. It could actually vary anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks, give or take. The FDA lists the typical withdrawal effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, fever, chills, rebound pain and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi thanks for the reply I was taking them on and off for nearly 3 years. 10 mg percs 4 to 5 x a day. Just have chills everyday and depression. Went cold turkey 10 days ago. Not going back to it again! Was so much more energized taking them. Wonder when natural energy will come b...

I was in a bad car accident over a year ago burst fracture to my L1 vertebrae and had surgery on my back. I have two titanium rods and 8 screws now in my back and on Christmas I slipped on ice and fell on my back. My mom insisted that I go to the ER they did x rays and both my bottom screws loosened. I was prescribed 5 mg Percocet and I have my first appointment with a pain management specialist on Monday. I ran out of my 5 mg Percocet and was in serious pain today and my mom found 2 10mg Percocet left over from my surgery last September so I took two today. I worried that the different dosages will show up on my urine test I do not have the bottle for the 10 mg prescription however I do have the bottle for the 5 mg bottle prescription.. Should I be worried my levels will be off it'...

Have been taking pain meds for 8 years due to terrible back. Have had 4 back surgeries with 3 of them since 2014, the last one was August 2016 which was spinal fusion L4/5 with screws, plate, rod and pins! Also suffer from fibromyalgia which is bad this time of year. I have been taking percocets 10mg x 6 daily since last surgery. Last week switched from pain management to primary physician due to cost and drive an hour away. Am now been switched to hydrocodone 10mg 4 x a day and tramadol 50mg 2 x a day. I miserable pain has increased? Having leg aches, body aches and seems pain gets worse an hour after taking hydrocodone. Is this crazy? I can't live like this. I have family I take care of, also back pain is worse with nerve pain in left leg. Neurosurgeon told me I would have some of...

Just started PM. I have arthritis and a bad case of fibromyalgia. I am worried. I was getting a mild pain killer from a local doctor. Went to PM and got a 30 day supply of Percocet. It was not to be filled until my other pain meds were used up. She figured the date. I went to pharmacy and got other meds refilled and left the Percocet prescription on hold -( which was not suppose to be filled for another 3 weeks). 10 days later I sent my husband to get my blood pressure medicine picked up. He came home with 2 bottles of medicine, one which was my Percocet. I asked him why he had that prescription and he said all he did was pick up what was in the bag. So my pharmacist filled it early, without our say so. I have an appointment tomorrow and was getting my medicine in the bag to take with m...

I receive generic Percocet from my Primary Care Physician and have been receiving this medication for several years to lessen pain from degenerative disc disease and spinal arthritis in all three areas of the spine. I was also recently informed that I have arthritis in both shoulders and I suspect I probably have it in one or both knees as well. In the past I have signed the pain management contracts with this doctor and at least once every year or two they do a urine test to be sure I am compliant. I understand the contract and the urine screens, but I have a question regarding the contract. When I called for a refill/new prescription today they called back to inform me that I can come in and pick up the prescription but that I have to sign a pain management contract. I know I have sig...

I use to take 10-325 of Percocet 5 times a day. My new doctor lowered the dosage to 3times a day. Saying I was takin too much. I had bad withdrawal and ended up in the hospital. I now take 3 10-325 along with 500mg of tyenol to control my pain. Even with that amount I'm still in a lot of pain. What should i do, I feel like my doctor is not listening to me. I feel the only reason he lower the dosage was because the CDC is being hard on them. I'm in pain all day long. ## The CDC is the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, they do not regulate drugs, or prescription medications. They work on getting control of outbreaks of dangerous diseases, preventing their spread, and etc. I believe you may be thinking of the DEA, which is the Drug Enforcement Agency. They are the ones tha...

small round white pill with NM on top of pill and 11 or ll beneath it. other side blank? ## No, this tablet contains 65mgs of Ferrous Sulfate, which is an iron supplement that is used to treat, or prevent iron deficiencies. The FDA warns that it may cause nausea, and constipation due to its potency. Given the scant information I can find, I am not sure if this tablet is still available, though there are many others. It is not, however, a narcotic of any type. Is there anything else I can help with?
