Is There A Difference In Watson 853 Pain Pills And 176

I recently was thrown from my horse and have pretty bad pain. My tailbone was broken in three places. I no longer have a script for pain but a friend of mine gave me a couple of pain pills that are different. One says Watson 853 on it and the other looks the same (oblong white) but it has #176 on it. What is the difference?

Hi Priscilla,

I would just like to inform you that not only do you take on a huge risk by taking medication that may not work for you there are federal and state laws that make sharing prescribed medication illegal. I would strongly advise not taking any more medication given to you by anyone.

Here is some information on the pills you mentioned.

The pills labeled Watson 853 and 176 both contain the active ingredients Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone (325 mg/ 10mg) but are made by different manufacturers. often used to treat back pain, pain and rheumatoid arthritis. This drug is labeled as CSA schedule 2, which means it has a high potential for abuse.

It also contains the inactive ingredients:
- Croscarmellose Sodium
- Crospovidone
- Magnesium Stearate
- Microcrystalline Cellulose
- Povidone
- Corn Starch
- Stearic Acid

Reportedly common side effects of this medication include:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Constipation
- Drowsiness
- Dizziness
- Lightheadedness
- Anxiety
- Abnormally Happy Or Sad Mood
- Dry Throat
- Difficulty Urinating
- Rash
- Itching
- Narrowing Of The Pupils

Reportedly serious side effects include:
- Slowed Or Irregular Breathing
- Chest Tightness

I hope this helps.
