What Is The Use For Norco

I got rx bottle said norco 10/325 but the pill has IP 109 on it. Is it 10mg? ## Hello, Princess! How are you? No, the tablet with the IP 109 marking on it contains 5mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. Did your pharmacy dispense it like this? 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.

I've been on Norco 7.5/325 since they stopped making Vicodin. I had the yellow, loved them, then my pharmacy only had the white ones from Qualitest. My last refill was with mallinckro, hate them! I itch and stay in pain 24/7. My pharmacist said they will no longer be able to get the qualitest, now I'm stuck as to where to go. I hate calling pharmacies for certain brands since they think I'm a druggie..when I clearly take no more and often less than required. ## I am very sorry about the problems you're experiencing. Unfortunately, there is no database that lists which medication any given pharmacy carries, at any given time, because such information is dynamic and can always change, depending on which manufacturer was offering the cheapest price, at the time they needed ...

its white it says m367on one side on the other side it has a line in the middle like u could snap it in half and its suppose to be 10-325 norco. never seen this ## Yes, this contains 10mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, the generic for Norco. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth. Read more here: Is there anything else I can help you with? ## I snap them in half to control the nausea and pain, but it also keeps my head in check. These are very dangerous as 367 are real s***. Addictive... Sometimes I need both halves. But Sometimes you don't... If you can average one half not being taken for a day out of a 3 day pain regiment, there is still hope.

What color are my prescription pills narco 5/325 ## I have been taking Norco for about 6 years ive recently been getting yellow tablets ibstead of the regular white. Ive noticed they are not as effective as tge white. ## What are the markings on them? Since this is available as a generic medication, there are far too many on the market for me to be able to list them all for you. However, if you can post back with the markings, I can look them up and provide you with the needed information. 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.

i heard that norco had less tylonal and asprin than in vicodan ## Norco - 5/325 - has: hydrocodone 5 mg. and acetaminophen 325 mg. Norco - has 10 mg hydrocodone, and 325 mg acetaminophen. Vicodin - 5 mg hydrocodone and 500 mg acetaminophen. Vicodin ES - 7.5 mg. hydrocodone and 750 mg acetaminophen. ## Neither Norco, nor Vicodin have Aspirin in them. They have acetaminophen (APAP). ## Correct; neither have aspirin. Vicodin is probably the worst hydrocodone-containing compound available. The absolute lowest amount of liver-destroying paracetamol (acetaminophen in the USA) in any 'Vicodin' product is 500mg. What is generally referred to as 'Norco' (Watson) is 10mg/325mg. However, in personal eperience of this rather weak narcotic analgesic which is also completely overprice...

I've been taking 7.5/325 norco for years now for chronic pain. The last couple of months, its been hard to get my scripts filled. Someone said the fda changed the dosage to 7.5/300.....which is correct? ## Hello, Bonnie! How are you? No, they have made no recent changes, the ones with 325mgs of Acetaminophen are the standard dose. However, fewer companies are manufacturing it, now, which may create a shortage in some areas. The FDA lists this medication as being 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.

What is the difference in Norco 5-325 and Norco 10-325. ## Hi Scarlett, Aside from obvious changes in the dosage, the primary underlying difference between these two pills are the inactive ingredients (binders & fillers) that may or may not be present in each brand. Certain "inactive" ingredients are actually detrimental to how the drug is metabolized and used by your body. So it is quite possible that you may end up having a better reaction to a lesser dose just because of bioavailability and how your system responds to various fillers such as propylene glycol, corn starch, and other genetically modified substances. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Norco Details I hope this info helps! ## The first word is always the narcotic. This second word can always b...

I am currently taking Tramadol for lower back pain. It is not cutting it. It has been suggested to me to try Norco or Vicodin for more strentgh. do you agree? ## Norco and Vicodin are both brand names for the same medication, which is Acetaminophen coupled with the narcotic Hydrocodone.

Im taking Norco and I wanted to know if Tylex cd is the same ## Hello, Carrie! How are you doing? No, they aren't the same. Tylex-CD contains the active ingredients Acetaminophen and Codeine. Learn more Acetaminophen details here. Learn more Codeine details here. And Norco contains the active ingredients Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone. Learn more Norco details here. Both are narcotic analgesics, which have the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. However, Hydrocodone is much stronger than Codeine, to give you an idea of the difference, for each 5mgs of Hydrocodone you take, you'd have to take 33.33mgs of Codeine to be equivalent in pain relief. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Tylex ...

I've been on norco 7.5/325 for 3 yrs now for chronic pain d/t a nerve entrapment. These new laws are going to make it so difficult to get my medication and in the amount monthly that I was getting. So its looking like I'm going to have to deal with the pain (not sure I can but not sure what else to do,unless I just make myself pain free for good). I've been getting prescribed #180/ month and now I'm being told by my PCP that they can only write for 60/ month. It looks like I'm gonna be heading down withdrawal lane and I'm terrified. I hate all of this so much! My life sucks having this pain and not feeling like myself anymore. Im too young for this! But does anyone have any suggestions on how to make withdrawal easier? ## Why don't you go to a doc that will g...

What color is a non generic norco 10 mg and who is original manufacture. ( original norco)What color is original 10 mg norco ## There usually Watson & yellow.... ## @Cents, I believe Patrick (post #1) is right about Watson being the original manufacturer of the yellow oblong/oval shaped tablets. However, Actavis is now the company who took over and they altered the formula to make them white in their physical appearance. It was after this change that many patients also reported a significant difference in the tablet's overall effectiveness. I for one have not tried either, but if you take a look around the various related threads here on MedsChat, you may find several reviews that discuss this change from the original formula. It is widely thought that Actavis put less active in...

How long would it take to go through a withdrawal from these opioid pain meds such as norcos??? ## Hello, Becky! How are you? It actually depends on how long you were taking it, how much you were taking each day and the way your body reacts to stopping, so there's no hard and fast rule to quote for you. It may take anywhere from a few days to over a month, or so. The FDA lists the withdrawal effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, fever, chills, headache, diarrhea, rebound pain and depression. How long was the person in question taking it and how much were they taking?

I have been on Norco 10-325 for chronic pain and normally have no issues. My last prescription appeared to be more oblong and was manufactured by MFG TRIS and I’ve noticed that I’m nauseous quite often. Why do these make me sick but the ones by MFG ACTAVIS don’t? ## Hi Kaylee, Sorry to hear about your situation. To my understanding, the only difference should be the list of inactive ingredients (binders/fillers) that help make up the composition of the pill. In some cases, an individual may be allergic or hypersensitive to certain fillers which can be an underlying cause of side effects. Something fishy about Tris Pharma compared to other manufacturers is that they don't share their list of inactive ingredients so we have no way of knowing what fillers or how many ...

Can anyone offer their experiences with taking Norco or its various generics? How long have you taken it? I have just been prescribed this. ## I have taken Norco and the similar drugs like vicodin for many years. It is helpful for treating moderate pain for short periods. If you take opiate based pain meds for long periods of time you can build up a tolerance and you have to take more to get the same results. I have found taking an anti-imflamitory along with these meds helps to manage the pain. ## Hello, Jim! How are you? And thank you, Renee, for posting such helpful information. Some others things to keep in mind about Norco is that since it is an opiate narcotic, it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth a...
