What Is The Difference Between Hydrocodone 5 325 And 10

Dr presecibed me hydrocodone325mg-5 for my back pain I was in a car accident a lot of pain never took these pills before I did just fine however I got surgery and was prescribed percocet 325mg-5and I got very sick..throwing up dizzy light headed etc Just wanted to know is there a huge difference??and /or side effects maybe was it due to just having surgery or do u think it was the pill itself being different could of caused it? ## Hello, Marie! How are you? They are different medications. Percocet contains Oxycodone with Acetaminophen, while what you've currently been prescribed contains Hydrocodone with Acetaminophen. However, dizziness, nausea and vomiting can be side effects of all narcotic opiates, so you may still experience such symptoms with this one, as well. There is also a...

hydrocodone 10/500 and hydrocodone 10/325, what is the difference? ## The 10/325 contains 10mgs of the narcotic Hydrocodone, coupled with 325mgs of Acetaminophen. The 10/500 contains 10mgs of Hydrocodone coupled with 500mgs of Acetaminophen. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and constipation. Read more: Do you have any other questions? ## Would hydrodo/apap10-325 be stronger than hydroco/apap10-500 since there is less tylenol.So you would be getting the hydroco with less buffer ## Yes - that is exactly right. I have read that some meds in combination - like Tylenol & hydrocodone work better than just the stronger pain med. -hydrocodone alone. If your hydro. has 325 Tylenol now? Buy a bottle of low strength Tylenol & take one to see if it make a diffe...

When I take the yellow Norco 10-325, I usually wait about 30 minutes till they take affect and most often feel somewhat energized and a bit more relaxed. When I take the P110 10-325 hydrocodone, I feel lethargic and often drowsy and sad. Why is there such a difference? ## Well, there can be some fluctuation in the amount of the active ingredients when go from a name brand, such as Norco, to a generic, like the one with the IP 110 marking. Hydrocodone is a narcotic and you may actually be getting a little more of it in the generic one, so that may be why you feel more lethargic and drowsy when you take it. Learn more Norco details here. If it's that problematic, you could try asking your doctor to prescribe it as brand medically necessary, to avoid the problem. Are there any other qu...

I have been taking hydrocodone 10-325 for 8 or 9 years. And now my doctor wants to put me on oxycontin. I have never taken any before and he did not say what strength. What are the dosages??? Is it any better than the hydrocodone 10-325??? ## Hello, Tazman57! How are you? Oxycontin is a time released formulation of Oxycodone, the medication is slowly released over a 12 hour period. It is stronger than Hydrocodone, you only need 6.67mgs of Oxycodone to equal each 10mgs of Hydrocodone. 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. It's available in varying doses starting at 10mgs and going all the way up to 160mgs. Is there anything e...

What are the differences between those two? Which one is stronger? M367 or v3601? I know they have the same 10/325 dosage but surely there must be a difference of some sort? If anyone knows, please share your knowledge with me. Thanks. ## Hi Ego, Although both of the pills in question are one in the same drug, the first difference I noticed is that they are manufactured by different companies. Because of this, there may be a slight variation of inactive ingredients; which does have an affect on the bio-availability (absorption) of the medication itself. Both of these are also generic medications. Generic medications are permitted by the FDA to contain up to 20% more or less of the actual active ingredients. This factor, along with different inactive ingredients (binders/fillers) could e...

my dr prescribed me xylon 10-200 and I have been taking norco 10-325, what's the difference between them both besides norco has tylenol and xylox has ibuprofen? ## Hello, Lori! How are you? That is the only difference, they both contain Hydrocodone as the active narcotic. Ibuprofen works better for some people than Acetaminophen. 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. Is there anything else I can help with?

whats the difference between the two drugs? Hydrocodone/ACETAMIN 7.5-325mg and hydrocodone10mg/APAP200mg? ## Hello, Chewy! How are you? The difference is exactly what you posted, the dosages. The first has 7.5mgs of the Hydrocodone and 325mgs of the Acetaminophen, while the second has 10mgs of the Hydrocodone and 200mgs of the Acetaminophen.

They look the same and both descriptions say hydrocodone / acetaminophen 10-325 mg. Is there a difference and are they interchangeable? ## Actually, Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals list the tablet with the M 366 marking as containing 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone with 325mgs of Acetaminophen, and they list the one with the M 367 marking as containing 10mgs of Hydrocodone with 325mgs of Acetaminophen, so they are different. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth.

what is the difference between the 2 I know one is 10-325mb and the other 7.5-500mg ## Hydrocodone what is the difference between m367 (10-325 mg) and m358 (7.5-500 mg) ## That is the difference, just the dosage. One contains 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone and 500mgs of Acetaminophen, while the other contains 10mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. Different doses work better for different people, so they are several available. Learn more Vicodin details here. 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 ...

I have both pills, m 367 and watson 853, the pharmacy ran out of one so split it with the 853. Anyway I have been taking norco for over 2 years and for some reason neither seem to work for my pain.

One Norco 10-325 is equal to how many Ibuprofen? I take 6 Ibuprofen at a time to kill pain and it just barely works. What is the strength difference between one Norco and the Ibuprofen? ## Hello, Mailand! How are you? There is actually no way to accurately compare these two medications, since Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and the Hydrocodone is an opiate narcotic that's coupled with Acetaminophen (aka Tylenol). The FDA warns that Hydrocodone carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Which has your doctor instructed you to take?

What's the difference between Norco 10 325 mg & 7.5-325 mg ## Hello, Howard! How are you? Well, the dosage is different, just like you've listed. One contains 10mgs of Hydrocodone with the 325mgs of Acetaminophen, while the other contains only 7.5mgs of it.

I was taking hydrocodone 7.750 now they have me on norco 10/325. I don't feel that the new medication is working as well, I get really upset stomach aches and also takes long to heal my pain which I have two bad disc the pain is so bad like if I'm about to give birth or if someone is tearing my back apart,can somebody help me please. ## All of these are opiate analgesics, but Tramadol is the weakest of what you've listed, Hydrocodone would be next and Oxycodone is the strongest of these. 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. Thus, if the Norco isn't working, you may want to speak to your doctor about trying Oxycodone or Percocet, which combin...

I have both M360 and Watson 853 pills. I'm not exactly sure if the are the same of if one is stronger. ## The tablet marked M360 contains 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone and 750mgs of Acetaminophen and the tablet marked Watson 853 contains 10mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen.

I am taking vicodin. In Mexico I bought Tylex CD & Lertus CD.

Tylex-CD contains Acetaminophen and Codeine and the Lertus--CD is llisted as containing Diclofenac and Codeine, so these are all different medications.

My doc has been prescribing me percocet 10 mg. And now he prescribed me oxycodone 5mg. Which is stronger? The percocet 10's i have been taking for almost 2 years and i told him that they wasn't working that's when he prescribed me the oxycodone 5'mg. And they aren't working either. I am taking pain medication for surgery's . Since the oxycodone 5'mg aren't working what should i ask for. Now hydrocodone doesn't agree with me. It makes me sick.and i would prefer to stick with oxycodone. What should i ask for ? ## Percocet is actually a combination medication that contains Oxycodone and Acetaminophen, because the Acetaminophen helps increase the efficacy of the Oxycodone.

What is the difference between Hydrocodone/apap 10mg/500 and Hydrocodone/apap 350/500, and Hydrocodone/apap 7.5/500? Could you explain the difference in these 3? ## There is no dosage available containing 350/500, that would be a very dangerous dosage of the Hydrocodone. The maximum dosage that is currently available in the U.S. contains 10mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. Past that the doses are lower, 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone/ 325 Acetaminophen, and 5mgs of Hydrocodone with 325mgs of Acetaminophen. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Which one has your doctor prescribed for you?

What is difference in ingredients between Hydrocodone and Vicodin? I am trying to find out what is stronger: Hydrocodone Acetaminophen 10 325 or are Vicodin 500 tablets stronger? ## Hi Viv, To answer your question I first need to explain that Vicodin actually contains both Hydrocodone and Acetaminophen as the active ingredients. So in your comparison, both drugs contain the same active ingredients, just in different doses. Hydrocodone Acetaminophen 10 325 is a generic for Norco containing Hydrocodone 10mg and Acetaminophen 325mg. Vicodin 500 contains Hydrocodone 5mg and Acetaminophen 500mg. So the generic Norco which you have contains twice as much Hydrocodone (the opioid ingredient) but less Acetaminophen than the Vicodin. I hope that this makes sense, and let me know if you need any m...

Just want to know difference between both pills, beside Manufacturers. I was taking Hydocodone-Acetaminophen 10-325 yellow pill #1096 on one side a V on other side.
