Whu Would A Lortab 10 Blue Turn White (Top voted first)

Why would a blue lortab 10 turn white?

If it's a Watson 540, then it didn't "turn" white. Watson Pharmacuticals is changing the color. The white Watson 540 is still a generic Lortab 10/500. The blue Watson 540 will continue to be sold until pharmacy supplies are depleated then Watson will replace them with the white.

Are you certain that it was blue and is a Lortab or the generic equivalent?

Are there any markings on it?

Some pills may change color if they are coated and get wet, so the color washes off, but I am not familiar with any Lortab made that way.

Other than the color change, do you know what else they changed? I take Lortab 10/500 1-2 every 4 hours not to exceed 7 in a day and have taken Lortabs since my injury in 2005. (The stronger meds make me euphoric that is why I take a higher dosage of Lortabs). I've been using the Watson 540s, blue in color since the injury. Here and there I would have to try another pharmacy and would get qualitest (pink ones) or Malincroft or whatever their name is (white ones) and the only one that worked with no side effect was the Watson. The pharmacist and my pm doctor both confirmed with me that it wasn't just in my head that different companies use different inactive ingredients which could make the outcome different. Today, I picked up my refill of 210 Lortabs for the month of March and they are now white. They don't work. It's as if I haven't even taken my medication today. I'm screwed for a month and will have to find a pharmacy that still has the blue ones in stock. They had to have done something to their formula, but what?
