Does norco 5/325 have the same ingredients as the little pink pill k56 which is oxycodone 10mg? My doctor switched me due to the strength. The k56 pills are stronger he said and i needed a weaker pill to be able to work. So he prescribed me the norco. What i'm saying here is that are they the same, but different doses?

I have an MD and a PhD in Pharmacology, about six sub-specialty certs in PSY and I can absolutely back up my esteemed RN colleague's statements. I've been first author, principal investigator and also checked research on dozens upon dozens of articles published in medical journals.

Lisa I am a RN you are wrong totally wrong.
NORCO is and always has been hydrocodone and I have a 4 year degree and am a published researcher.

Posters just so you know thorazine is a neuroleptic and most recent scientific journals will show that these drugs formerly mixed with opioids decrease the pain killing benefit of the opioid.
Hydrocodone does work better for some pain clients; it reverts as old school codiene to morphine in the liver.
Oxycodone again works better for some clients then hydrocodone. They are both class 2's now so physicians will not revert one for the other due to the new FDA 120 mg. equivalent rule affecting some of us with IP (intractable pain) that can kill which mine can.
Seeking a new PM in Texas or Louisiana my high level research specialist in California released 30 of the out of state clients due to new regulations. If you voted for Odumma you asked for the pain we all have now..

And you're point is? You should be ab;e to read through most misspellings if you are of at east average intelligence. I've been published in a dozen Peer-Reviewed medical journals and done editorial work on dozens of articles and treatises ultimately published in similar journals. If this primitive GUI could not be configured to permit EDITS, errors caused by quick typing could be caught and fixed. To say nothing of an AUTO-CORRECT feature that some 5th graders must have created for a Technology project? What is this REALLY about? Your subtext is dripping undeserved venom — and I really don't care what's going on in your unconscious and I concede the graduate faculties of Harvard and Cornell are better judges of the quality of my command of the English language than you are.

I found the lady's posts to be clear and straightforward. If you'e complaining about my posts, consider that I type faster than most keyboards can process . I know my spelling is better than your because Cornell University's School of Medicine, et al, doesn't accept doctoral dissertations from illiterates. What you are seeing are TYPOS and this you will note there is NO EDITING OPTION.

It helps if post are written clearly with correct spelling and punctuation.
It is a waste of time trying to "figure out" someone's post with many mispelled words.

You absolutely right! At ne time, I suffered from very severe headaches — take Valium 5, 2 x Percocet 10/325 and 25mg of Thorazine and turn off all the lights bad. I found myself with MO Perocet, sl I called a colleague. I called the pharmacy first to make sure they had it (or maybe plain generic Roxy) and was reassured. The Rx gets delivered and the i**** pharmacist filled in with Hydro 10h/APAP 650. I sent him back, called my friend and he said, "Didn't I just phone in a script for oxycodone for you?" "You did. They filled it with Hydrocodone 10/APA 650. I know we can't return it, but I don't think he'll be cooperative if we don't offer him a hard copy for the mistake. He did, we did and the pharmacist said since Dr. Glenn doesn't mind, he'll take back the Hydrocodone! And these people have licenses to practice?

Derek-Norco is Oxycodone, NOT hydrocodone. I'm an R.N. and know this for a fact.

I agree there. Sounds like you're doc is that man Artha Franklin and JFK made famous — "DOCTOR FEELGOOD". This is irresponsible prescribing and God help him if he worked for me. You don't even mention why he's taken this quantum leap into poxy-land. I'm an MD (psychiatrist with five sub-specialist) and PhD in Pharmacology. I had undiagnosable, implacable migraine-type headaches for about six years. And I had the best docs on Long Island and NYC poking around. Since I had to work, see treated the pain with Percocet 10/325 Average 6 tabs daily) and the lassitude with Adrenal 3omg IR (Sandoz) or Ritalin 20-40mg BID This wasn't for fun, believe me. Eventually we figured out out, but it took about 150 years of experience and 15 graduate degrees at work on the same patient. Enrich hydro to stop the pain made me nauseous and some days, had to say home, cancel office hours or hospital rounds and take a couple of Percocet 10s and 50mg of Thorazine so I could keep them down. I feel you, but this is just not a tactic that spells anything except selling scripts and selling pills. I know some legit docs who would have charged a couple of hundred bucks for a month's supply of these legal scripts. (Also, Klonopin for anxiety; great pain is the first cousin of great anxiety). My colleagues charged me nothing — professional courtesy reciprocated.

No they are two diff type of narcotics as well as pills norco is hydrocodone and tylenol is the 325mg the 5/325 is 5mg of hydrocodone as many people are different most say hydrocodone is weaker n does not help depending on the pain level but the K56 oxycodone is much stronger as it contains only the narcotic oxycodone. Hope this helps.

Verwon Says:
No, they are not the same.
The Norco contains the narcotic Hydrocodone coupled with Acetaminophen. 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.
Is there anything else I can help with?
