White small oblong pill with ip110; norco. Why it doesn't work as good as watson?

REPLY

REPORT

This tablet contains 325mgs of Acetaminophen and 10mgs of Hydrocodone, a generic for Norco.

NDC: 53746-110



This tablet is made by Amneal Pharmaceuticals. As to why it may not work as well as the ones made by Watson, well, it is a generic version of the drug.

I know when you are given a generic or read the information pamphlets about them, you are told that they are exactly the same as their name brand counterparts, however, this is done to try to prevent people from being afraid to take needed medications.

The truth however, is quite different. Under federal law, generics are allowed to differ in the active ingredient from their name brand counterparst by as much as PLUS OR MINUS 20%. The FDA considers this an allowable differential that has no major effect on how the drugs work, but as anyone who has ever switched from a name brand to a generic, or from generic to another will tell you, this can cause problems.

In addition, they also only require that the generic manufacturer show their medication is 'bio-equivelent,' meaning it works in the same manner in the human body, but it does not have to be 100% identical.

On top of these issues, the inactive ingredients that are derived from a list of substances the FDA considers to be inert ingredients, can be completely different from the name brand and they do have an effect on some people.

If the pills from this manufacturer do not help you, then the next time you get a refill, I suggest asking your pharmacy if they still have the Watson ones available or call around to other pharmacies to see who may carry it.

Yes! I wondered why my norcos changed from yellow to white! I was already dissatisfied with them when I went into the hospital with Lortabs for just having fibromyalgia and deg disc disease, osteoarthritis, and cluster h/a and migraines! Came out of the hospital paralyzed rt foot and lower leg/ diagnoses : peripheral neuropathy unknown origin and crps/rsd ( complex regional pain syndrome) highly painful pain scale as high as an amputee! Im given Norco? I said I know thats not Lortabs bc its not working! And would just stare at the clock practically holding my breath because of the pain! SOME nurses would give it to me on time, some would take their own sweet time, not that it took my pain away, it took the edge off a little, my son remained with me and I didnt want him to see me! My mother hates all Pain meds and thinks I should take vitamins and eat veggies instead..she was the one who was telling everyone i was taking too many lortabs at the hospital (a bold face lie) but being a smiling waving sweet granny mom, and Me lookin like death..who you think they believed even when my blood test all came back normal for non abuse of my meds! Someone wrote on my release papers NO LORTABS, I said was Hitler here? I have 3 chronic pain conditions and yall want me on no pain meds! Il talk to MY DOCTOR, which she pushed her way into that first visit and tried to speak first!

He said I KNOW ALL ABOUT IT, she was malnourished, dehydrated, and has 2 new chronic pain conditions....looked at me and said so you need your meds filled! Lol! But they quit makin Lortabs, we have to take Norcos, they messing with our norcos, they messing with our Drs, our Drs are afraid of losing their licensees, for giving people like us ..like me with 3 chronic pain conditions, I cant even wear a bra, my ribs hurt, lucky im small, I cant wear shoes, my feet swell out of them, my knees, get stuck and I either cant bend them or unbend them, all my joints hurt and feel like fire, my feet burn, I get 3 day long headaches, my Dr drops my norcos from 120 a month to 60 a month.. I just had a flare up of all 3 things at the same time..went to dr, he said just take your meds, I took my white norco..1hr and a half later it hurt worse than before I took it, Finally convinced my parents to take me to ER , bc noone will help me get my car back on the road or id take myself! Dr in Er said flare up from all 3 and plantar faciilitis, and I might still have some infection in my muscle that I had last time I was in the hospital, the booted me before it was gone..no insurance! We cant tell its on the inside of my foot but my pain was in the same spot? he did no ultrasound, gave me steroids, neurontin, and 15 percocet! Then want me to call my dr back! Okay, he never calls me back though! But really, we with chronic pain disorders....need someone... federally. On our side, bc our cpd arent going anywhere, they have no cures, they only say WE THINK, so we need someone on our side and our Drs side w us to protect us and our Drs from any trouble, They dont want their license taken away ..we dont want to live in pain! So, they need to come up w someone in congress or where ever to protect the Drs who treat us! The good should not have to suffer for the bad in this situation! Its way to important in the lives of many ! We need help from someone somewhere higher up!

I got my "norco" prescription filled. I have been taking these for a while now for chronic pain. I went home and found that first they were white not the usual yellow. Then I noticed a 1P 110 on the tablet. Looked up this marking on the net. I found that it was indeed supposed to be Norco. I took one, it didn't work. I took a secon one it still didn't work. I then researched this generic and found that many other people have had the same problem. I called my pharmacy and they replaced my remaining 1P 110 with the "yellow" Norco. The yellow Norco worked. What a scam. What a terrible thing to do to people with chronic pain! There is no excuse for this. I think the manufacturer should be reported to whom ever oversees these pain medication manufacturers.

I have taken only two of the ip110 so far but they have not given me the awful side effects of the oval white watson. The white watson gave me migrain like headaches, restless leg syndrome, back pain and an anxious kind of overall discomfort. I am hopeful the ip110 will be a good substitute because Watson has been purchased by Actavis, who are, from what I have read,responsible for the problems we are experiencing since the color change from yellow to white.

No, all generics are not alike. I had the yellows and got these ip110's. I was perfectly willing to believe they were the same, but after a few days, they are not. They wear off quite a bit faster. If you are taking these just temporarily, you may have a point, but for chronic pain sufferers, believe me we can tell. My pain is my guide when I take my next pill. I couldn't go my usual 6 hours. Some of us have pretty weird body chemistry, especially us red heads- look it up. It can make a difference. I have even woken up during surgeries when the anesthesia is different. There's no faking that.

I live n New Boston Texas & had my hydrocodone filled & they gave me ip110 pills. I've been taking hydrocodone for over 20 yrs & these ip110 pills made by Amneal pharmaceuticals r absolutely worthless . There's little pain relief & Its all I can do to stay awake. I've taken them for 4 days now & I hate them with a passion. I will never use ip110 pills again. I paid $48 for 120 pills & thought I was getting a good deal. Bull !!! I'd advise anyone to never eccept Amneal ip110 pills. I ain't taking anymore cause its obvious they r useless.

This happened to me this week . Not only it didn't work but made me sick. Now I have to endure awful back pain for a whole month. Have had 1 spinal fusion and facing 2 more at least. These pills should be taken off the market. If I didn't need them, I wouldn't take them. Been offered much stronger meds but refused them. Don't want to take anything that I won't be able to function . I don't want a BUZZ, I want a little relief from my constant pain .

I totally prefer the original yellow WATSON pill because it seems to work best and last longer than the generic. My questiin is... Are the new WHITE WATSON 10mg a generic form of the YELLOW WATSON 10mg or are they simply replacing the yellow ones (only difference between the two is rhe color

Thank you!!!. For I kept wondering why when I would get my meds in the white pill it didn't work the same. But when I would get my meds the yellow norco ones they worked. I would ask the pharmacy's and they would not tell me nothing...

Be aware as well as informed. If you have an issue, report it to the fda's "adverse reaction" site. It's public information, and even though the response won't be sent directly to you, it will be posted. Best part is it gives emails and names of all those involved. I suggest everyone respond. It will work. That, or live with the problem. Your choice
