White Watson 853 (Page 3)

Michael Says:
So recently I received a white Watson 853 that looks identical to the yellow ones; size, shape, imprint. Everything checks out except it does not feel as strong as the yellow. I was then told that Watson is not manufacturing yellow ones anymore so I checked the Watson/actavis website. They had no info on white 853. Are these fake?

I have been on hydrocode yellow 10-325, for over a year. I to had received the new white ones and was in such pain for 4 days, I finally had my dr. Send for brand name necessary, and got name brand Norco, and guess what, they work just like they used to. There is definitely something up with these new meds, I think they took note than yellow dye out,

Right now unfortunately for me their is no euphoria with these as I just had sugery and was given massive doses of Diludiad and Oxycotin. They had me on 120 mg of Oxy a day after my surgery, so right now everything tastes....... Vanilla.

I live in Addison, IL 20 mins from downtown Chicago. These white watson norcos are 1/3 the strength that the yellow ones were, there has to be something going on.

I really haven't noticed a difference, but you obviously have. I was told by the pharmacist at Walgreen that yellow ones were not going to be in stock. I hope when you go to CVS they will have what you want. Please let us know if that is the case, and also maybe what state you live in, so we can see if this is a geographical issue for watson, or something else.

This is bulls***, just got a 180 pill bottle of these, they are NOT the same as the yellow ones, they dont get rid of the pain at all, and now I have to wait 30 days till I can go to CVS and get some that actually work (the yellow pills with the V's on them)

The white pills are on Watson's website actavis.com under us product page NDC: 00591-2612-05 which contain an active ingredient of 10mg of hydrocodone bitarate and 325mg of APAP You can contact Watson at 800) 272-5525 if you have any questions regarding this medication. You can also ask walgreens if they carry another generic. I was previously prescribed the same medication and previously got the yellow watson 853, but now have the white. Their is no difference in the pills from my perspective.

I received the white Watson 853 pills from Walgreens. Pharmacy tech said that it's the same as the yellow ones but I'm not convinced. I e-mailed Actavis last night but have not received a reply yet. They white ones seem weaker than the yellow ones to me.

Hi Michael,
Where a bouts did you get the pill from? If you didn't purchase it from an authorized seller, you could most definitely have a counterfeit. The only other thing I can think of, is that it may just be an old version that is no longer on the market.
I believe Actavis pharmaceuticals now owns Watson pharmaceuticals so here is a link to the contact page of Actavis Pharma's website if you'd like to ask them about the pill you have: actavis.com/en/ContactUs/default.htm
If you have any additional information to add or any more questions, please post back and I'll be happy to assist you.
