Updated
Mia Says:
My prescription was changed from blue Watson 540 to white Watson 540 pills. However, I felt that the strenght was different from the blue colored Watson . Taking one blue Watson would stop the pain but one white Watson did not work. Does anybody knows if the strength is the same? I can't findi the blue Watson anywhere anymore

What strength does your pharmacy list on the bottle?
From what's been posted on here, so far they have just removed the dye from the tablets. There are others where it seems they have done this, as well, due to some people being sensitive or allergic to the dyes.
However, the reason I am asking what the pharmacy lists as the strength is due to the fact that the amount of Acetaminophen in these tablets will be changing.
The FDA has requested that the amount of Acetaminophen in all of these combination medications be lowered to a maximum of 325mgs per dose, due to the risk of liver damage associated with long-term use and the toxicity of overdosage.
Some companies have already begun to implement the change and the rest are expected to have it done by January of 2014.

Mia, your prescription want changed, the pill was. So many people are complaining about the lack of pain control with these white ones and I am inclined to agree. They are NOT effective at all for me. Besides not taking care of the pain, they also made me extremely ill. I will not take the Watson brand of lortab anymore no matter the dose! Everyone needs to address this with Watson and the FDA! If we don't things won't change. Getting help with our pain is difficult enough without adding to it with these new pills. When I need to take a narcotic, I expect at least SOME pain relief! Never got it with these pills!

Tracy is right!!! I just got my script and had to take almost 3 times the amount to get any pain relief. These new white Watson pills are a joke. I remember the blues ones being a pain to break in half, these new ones feel cheap and crumble when broken in half.
