Hydocodone Info

Updated

my pill is white with M357 on one side. This pill is suppose to be a muscle relaxer, I have lower back pain - didn't help at all. Any response?

Your pill is vicodan, or, rather, a generic made by Mallinkro chemical company also known as hydrocodone, which is a narcotic, Schedule III controlled substance, and is also an opioid (synthetic formula of opium-based morphine). The M357 refers to the strength, which is 5 mg of hydrocodone, and 500 mg APAP, which is acetamenaphen--it reads, as hydrocodone/APAP 5/500 mg. It is used for mild to moderate types of pain, and the acet. portion is for inflammation. I have not heard of its use as a muscle relaxant, per se. Flexeril, Skelaxin, or Soma would be much better for a muscle relaxant in your case, it seems. All three are non-narcotic, though soma can be a strong intoxicant, leaving a person in a drunken state if it builds up in his system.

Dee, I have the same problem that you do, though my curve is much worse.

I want to warn you that some narcotics will make your pain much worse, rather than helping. Morphine is one of them. I found out the hardway that it causes joint pain and inflammation.

So don't resort to anything stronger unless you absolutely have to.

If you would like to ask any more questions or more advice, feel free to email me at [email protected]

My curve is an S shape, also, 67 degrees on the top and 47 degrees on the bottom.
