How Strong Is Hydrocodone Acetaminophen 7 325

Updated

I'm presently taking Hydroco/APAP 7.5/325 which are white with 1P115 stamped on it. I was previously taking hydrocodone which were peach colored. With the white ones they are not as strong. I have to take two to get relief from chronic pain. With the peach colored ones I could take one and worked fine. Why would they be different if suppose to be same thing? Confused?

Mine is different....I am also trying to figure out why the peach 750/325 are not working as well as the White!!! Could the peach ones be old?

Under the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984 generics are allowed to differ from the name brand by as much as plus or minus 20% in the amount of the active ingredients, this was done to help bring generics to market fast and help create market competition to try to keep prices lower for those that do not have prescription coverage.

The main is issue occurs, due to the fact that they are not required to measure against each other, just the name brand, so it is highly possible you could take one generic that has the proper amount, or may be a little higher, so it works well for you, then suddenly you could receive one that is lower. The reverse could also be true.

While many people will never notice a difference, some people do and it can cause problems.

Has there been any change, yet?
