Updatedi found a white oval pill with 176 on it and one line on the other side. no other markings, just 176 and the line. found in my daughter's car while driving it. cant find it anywhere online. please help. thanks
Actually Angelwings, Just because she's a nurse and works with prescription drugs every day, does NOT mean she knows EVERY medication out there and she is in fact wrong! She stated that she knows ALL forms of Vicodin and Hydrocodone, what they look like and that it wasn't a Vicodin 10, when in fact it is! (Hydrocodone 10/325 - Norco). And if she's a nurse then she would know what the poster meant when they said "Vicodin 10" where they meant Hydrocodone 10, and that they are pretty much the same drug with the only difference between them being the amounts and the ratio of hydrocodone to acetaminophen, both pain killers, made of the same two active ingredients. She would also know that when people refer to their medication as Vicodin, that they could mean any version of the three brands which is Vicodin, Lortab, and Norco because of the same ingredients used in all three brands and that they most likely don't know the actual brand but just as some form of Vicodin. So before you go telling people to "get a life" for correcting a so called nurse that was the first to jump the gun with misinformation, maybe you should consider "accepting" that you're both wrong and getting one yourself.
being a nurse doesnt mean anything. that doesnt make you smarter than the rest of us so before you say it isnt a vicodin do your research and you will find that it is indeed a vicodin just a generic brand.
Let's not jump to conclusions about this young lady. Perhaps the pill belonged to a friend who lost it. Maybe it was the daughter's from an old prescription. There are all kinds of scenarios that could exist here.
Now that the pill has been found, if I were the parent, I would watch my child carefully for changes in attitude, mood, friends, grades, and activities. If those manifest, then it is time to speak to the child about the pill.
Otherwise, I would let it go.

Snort it.
I would be more concerned about finding the pill in my child's car with no prescription than anything about a nurse, not a nurse, what they know, etc. Many young people use these prescription drugs to party, and I would confront my daughter with it, and have a very serious discussion. Much more important than somebody's so-called credentials.
hi, i found the information about the pill you found... It is listed under the Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen Medicines, although it is NOT a vicodin [1]. It is manufactured by a company of Caraco Pharmaceuticals. The pill has 10mg of hydrocodone and 325mg of Acetaminophen so it is a little safer than a vicodin in the aspect that it has less tylenol but more hydrocodone. So it will give you more of a high. This pill is basically a generic Norco. I am prescribed the yellow Norcos which are 10mg of hydro and 325mg of tylenol. (same thing) They (the pill you found) are generic and very rarely given because most docs will just prescribe the yellow norcos which are manufactured by Watson and that is probably why it is so hard to find information about this particular pill. Either way it is a pain pill narcotic so if she wasnt prescribed the medication, it was probably given to her by a friend. A lot of people take them for the high. They can be easily addictive but not from just one pill. the pill usually last about 4-6 hrs. If she isnt prescribed them, I would flush it. Hopefully this helps you. Thank you.

Good answer! If she were a pharmacist, then she'd know more than the rest of us. Nurses, aside from nurse practitioners, can't even prescribe medications. Some RNs might dispense meds but there are so many generics out there, with new ones popping up all the time, that it would be hard to know every number for every available pill. And Angelwings must have missed the part where the nurse erroneously stated that she knew all types of hydrocodone. She was right that it's not a Vicodin but it is hydrocodone. A nurse should know better than to give out wrong information when attempting to identify medication. With the new formulation, Vicodin now makes a 10/300 and this pill is a 10/325.
Welle mee moar smeryter thin all ya'll. Dammit Jim I'm not a nurse or a Doctor! Just take a chance and eat sum McDonald's from inside your local Wal-Mart SuperCenter (open 24 hours) & pop the dam pill. It will help you with the fallout. :O
As a nurse, she doesn't work with pills, she works with patients. If she works at a hospital, then any pills she does come into contact with r name brand not generic. If she doesn't work at a hospital then she doesn't come into contact with pills at all...she has no idea what different types of generic pills are on the market...so try not to be a know it all....makes u look ignorant
yup its a Norco 10/325 I looked it up on pill Identification, its a lot better then vicodin but it still has the same thing as vicodin like hydrocodone.
Some added information on Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone, depending on the dosage, it can be a generic for Vicodin, Lortab, Lorcet or Norco.
There are all narcotics, used to treat moderate to severe pain.
Doctors do not usually prescribe one by any particular manufacturer, when getting a generic, you usually get whatever your pharmacy has in stock at that time.
Some common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Did you have any other questions?
Being a patient in pain management for 4 year there are a lot of nurses that in fact Do think they are doctors and pharmacists lol no joke!!
wow I laughed at that one
For chronic pain, I believe that it is goid to rotate different manufacturers brands of norcos, if possible. It's more effective when your tolerance gets high from years of use
Angel wings,
A nurse should know this info.
You're a nurse, for human beings? It's a Norco 325 / 10 it took me 10 seconds to find it hello?
I am Doctor and received my degree from John Hopkins University and I will tell you the pill you found is a Generic Narco. The advice given by the nurse was incorrect. Any time you have a question about a Medication please contact Poison Control or take it to a pharmacist.
Look just saying talk to your daughter I'm ex user I know how Vicodin leads to other drug use such as opioids
I've met some very stupid nurses in my life time, but the fact that she is a nurse takes a lot of education. It doesn't make her right about the pills in question though. Just ask any pill head we know these things. PDR always close at hand long before Google came along.
