I believe the marking on the tablet in question may have been WATSON 349 and it is a generic for Vicodin that contains 5mgs of Hydrocodone and 500mgs of Acetaminophen.

You can learn more Vicodin details here.

This medication has the potential to be habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.


Another note that needs to be added here is that as of 2013, the FDA has made a request that all manufacturers lower the amount of Acetaminophen in these combination prescription products to no more than 325mgs per dose.

There are severe concerns about the dangers of liver damage and failure that can be associated with long-term use of high amounts, as well as the toxicity of overdose.

Some manufacturers have already begun to implement the change and the rest are expected to have it completed by January of 2014. Thus, in the future, please double check and don't just assume that these tablets still contain 500mgs of Acetaminophen.

Are there any comments or questions?
