Hydrocodone Pills M365

My doctor writes my prescription for Hydrodcod/Acetam 5-325 and the maker is Watson. When the drug store filled it last week it has M365 on the pill. I have taken three on three different days and noticed there was no relief. I took one pill 3 hrs ago and there has been no relief. That is the reason I took a pill out of the bottle and found the M365 stamped on the pill. If they are suppose to be the same - why is the pain still there?

The M365 pills are indeed hydrocodone (5mg) + acetaminophen (325mg); however it may be that certain binders/fillers in these tablets affect bioavailability or how well they get absorbed into your system vs the other brand you're used to taking.

If I were in this position, I'd probably see if the prescribing doctor could specify a particular manufacturer's version of this pill on the prescription itself; this way the pharmacist will dispense or order what the doctor requests...

One thing I do know is that Watson was taken over by Actavis Pharmaceuticals a few years ago, and just last fall in 2016, Teva Pharmaceuticals acquired Actavis... With all the drug manufacturers playing musical chairs it's hard to know who makes what anymore, but hopefully your doctor will do whatever's in your best interest for your health and well-being.
