Hello, Brad! How are you?

If you're referring to a stylized V that is pressed into one side of the tablet, that is a simply a logo that was used by Vintage Pharmaceuticals, which is now owned by Qualitest. It means nothing in relation to what's in the pill, though many have misunderstoof and thought it meant it was Vicodin.

However, this manufacturer makes many different pharmaceutical medications and most of them are not Vicodin, or its generics.

The FDA classifies Vicodin 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.

Are there any numbers on the tablet? Usually, their V logo is followed by 4 additional numbers, on the opposite side and that additional information would enable me to identify it for you.
