Vicoprofen Look Alikes
(Newest replies first)

My adult daughter is in pain management. She takes her medicine as prescribed usually with a few left over as she has a few extra for really bad days. She recently tested negative for her own meds 2 months in a row. She had complained sometimes they weren't helping, around the same time her dad moved back. I strongly believe he was switching at least some of her pills out. I asked about markings and she said they didn't look like they were the same color and size. She didn't think to look after the original check and count with pick up. She is in danger of loosing treatment because not taking your meds is violation of contract. When I suggested to the doc that someone replaced them or something he said nothing's similar. I know they are almost identical to my fioricet except #'s so I think it can. Was wondering if anything over the counter could look similar in size and shape also? I feel awful that she has suffered because he cares more about his buzz than her life.. Any ideas would be great. Getting kicked out and doubt another doc would help except maybe those rx for money docs that drug, not treat patients. Almost wonder if she should change now and not risk it?

Thanks for your response, my post should have said that she said color shape and size seemed the same. I have taught her when she gets the bottle from the pharmacy to count and check markings, from there she just takes one on the go...sad how low people go and really appreciate you taking your time to answer. .

Oh yes, there are many that look similar, if one isn't familiar with the markings on the tablets. It could even be another prescription product, such as Ibuprofen or antibiotics. I've seen many that are easy to mistake for something else, unless your someone that knows the markings on them.

The FDA classifies Vicoprofen as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

I can't definitively say that's what happened, but yes, it is possible.

Is there anything else I can help with?
