What Does The V On A Pill Stand For

found pill with v on one side and 3605 on the other what is it ## Hi Walt, From what I understand, the cursive "V" actually represents Vintage Pharmaceuticals who now holds the name Qualitest. However the pill you have there marked "V 36 05" is identified as a generic Norco tablet containing 325mg of Acetaminophen + 7.5mg of Hydrocodone; used for treating moderate to severe pain. And for verification, this particular pill also carries a National Drug Code of 00603-3891. I hope this helps! ## thanks for the info ## The pill is round and pink with a cursive V and markings of 49/93 on the other side what is it? ## Pink V 49 93 is oxycodone hcl 10 mg an I believe fairly new to the market! ## Also, the V 49 94 gray pill which is 20mg oxycodone I think is new to the market, is...

The pill has N one on side and 60 on the other, What is this! ## Hello, Scooter! How are you? If it is a round, orange pill, it is listed as being 60mgs of Morphine in an extended release formulation that is manufactured by Teva Canada. The FDA classifies this medication 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. Does this match the description of your pill?

For Clavulin 250F, what does the F mean? ## Hi Kerrie, From what I could gather, the primarily noticable difference between "250F", in comparison with other brands that don't have the "F", is the ratio of ingredients in it's formula. For example: "F" has a ratio of 4:1 & "non Fs" have a ratio of 7:1 Clavulin-125F 
Each 5ÂmL of reconstituted suspension contains amoxicillin 125Âmg as the trihydrate and clavulanic acid 31.25Âmg as the potassium salt (in a ratio of 4:1). Clavulin-200
 Each 5ÂmL of reconstituted suspension contains amoxicillin 200Âmg as the trihydrate and clavulanic acid 28.5Âmg as the potassium salt (in a ratio of 7:1). Clavulin-250F Each 5ÂmL of reconstituted ...

what does the word apo stand for when it precedes the name of my medication ## Hello, Jeannie! How are you? APO stands for Apotex Pharmaceuticals, they are a generic prescription medication manufacturer. In Canada, generic medications are commonly referred to in such a manner, an abbreviation for the manufacturer, a hyphen and then the actual drug name. I think it helps avoid confusion, when someone receives a medication made by a different manufacturer than the ones they were used to getting. Is there anything else I can help with?

WHAT DOES THE LETTERS APA STAND FOR? the two articles above contradict each other. top one says...apa means amt of acetaminophen & bottom one says, that apa is the amt of hydrocodone. i came here specifically for apa info. help me with the apa on my meds. thanks g. n. ## From what I could gather, it seems like a simple misunderstanding. APA & APAP are both commonly used abbreviations of Acetaminophen. This abbreviation is often used in the following context: "APA/Hydrocodone 325mg/7.5mg" Is this what you are referring to? I would suggest double checking with your pharmacist if you believe it has an impact on the quality of your medication. However, if you know the imprint on your pill, I can even look it up for you to determine it's exact ingredients. I hope this hel...

It says do not take if you are taking other meds with MAOI. What do those initials stand for? ## It's a class of medication, a Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor, they are a type of antidepressant. ## I would be shocked, but not surprised, if you were prescribed such powerful medication without a detailed, clear explanation of its side effects. It is unfortunate that many doctors treat patients with mental illness like children, incapable of understanding their own condition and medications. If this happened to me, I would find another doctor. And never take drugs from someone else's prescription. it is not only illegal but can be deadly. Note: I am a complete layman. Do not take my advice without first consulting with a licensed mental health professional. ## What are MAOI medications...

I was asked bye a friend if what he takes is a percocet or vicodin because his new pills are the v perc 5s. So i told him they were generic percocet and he thinks the v stands for vicodin. He thinks vicodin is the brand name. Can u explain this a little better for me thanx ## Most likely, it is the symbol for the manufacturer of the pills.. Qualitest ## Darwinski is correct. The V is the logo for Vintage Pharmaceuticals, which is now owned by Qualitest. It has nothing to do with what the pill actually contains. Is there anything else I can help with?

What does the 4212 and cursive v stand for. The number is onthe opposite sideof the pill ## Hello, William! How are you? The V is a manufacturer's logo and the 4212 lets someone research it to confirm what the tablets contain. For instance, this one is manufactured by Qualitest Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 750mgs of Methocarbamol, which is a muscle relaxant. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

my med had oc on it for oxicontin but now it has op. What does that stand for ## I am not certain exactly what it stands for, however, it has replaced the original Oxycontin with the OC marking. Oxycontin OP cannot be crush, chewed or broken down. If someone tries, it basically turns into a gummy goo, that is supposed to only dissolve in stomach acid and retain its time released properties. Side effects remain the same: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help you with? ## Has anyone out there heard of a brand new formulation called Oxycontin RF I got a letter from Purdue( I have been bugging them forever- so they have my address in records.)

Small round white pill with am R amd no numberssupposed to be winstrol ## A letter like that is usually just a manufacturers logo, so it can stand for whatever they are using it for, such as the company name. In some cases it could also stand for the trade name of a tablet, or the active ingredient. I have no information, however, on one with just an R on it and whether or not it is Winstrol. Where was it obtained?

On my sleeping pills it says "Apo-Zopiclone"... Then in brackets on the prescription label it says GLA. My question is, what does APO mean...and what does GLA mean? Thank you. ## What's APO 37.5/25 on my sleep medications stand for ## In Canada, and some other countries, medications are often listed according to manufacturer, and name of the actual chemical, so in this case, the APO stands for the manufacturer Apotex. The GLA stands for the distributor, since Apotex licenses their products to several companies for dissemination across the country. The 37.5/25 is the designated dosage of the substances in the relevant medication. Zopiclone may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, sleep actions, and next day hangover-like effects.

I have two peach colored/oblong pills..On one side is a V on the other side is the #'s 36 05 Would like to know what strength they are & what the 36 05 means. Also these pills are scored. ## Hello, Sparkplug! How are you? This tablet contains 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. This is 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. As to the numbers, all manufactured prescription tablets in the U.S. are required to have markings to enable their identification, in case of emergency, so those numbers are just something used by the company in their imprint, which is registered with FDA to identify their product. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have read various different precautions about using this drug intravenously. Some say that without using a micron filter you run the risk of losing your arm due to a microcrystalline cellulose compound found in the drug, I guess as a tamper prof method. That seems cruel knowing addicts will abuse anything if the possibility it will make them high. they also say this compound is not water soluble so does that mean once water is added that compound would not enter the needle and stay at the bottom? Others say its fine. My other main question is what does the pms in pms-hydromorphone stand for and is it related to that cellulose compound? ## PMS is the manufacturer. It's pharmascience. ## What does the letters PMS- in Meds PMS-Hydromothone mean please!
