Red Speckled Hydrocodone Pill

Updated

I'm a Disabled Army Combat Veteran and I've had, to no surprise, a slew of different types of hydocodone, but recently the pills I've been issued have red or blue spots in them. I was told by my doctor that the spotted pills absorb into your body faster and therefore begin working faster and last longer, is this fact or fiction?

Fiction!

They are all regular release tablets that will take 15 to 20 minutes to start working and the speckles in some of them make no difference to that. That's just something that the manufacturer decided to do to their tablets to set them apart from the others available on the market.

Learn more Vicodin details here.

Any such colors and speckles are entirely up to whit and whim and mean nothing whatsoever to the actual absorbency rate of the medication in them.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I've been told by my doctor about these specks in Vicodin. They were mixed into the pills to prevent people from 'insufflating' them. The red specks are some kind of binding agent, so that when 'drug addicts' who use them for what they are intended for, and they try to smash them and insufflate them, the red specks make it into a clumpy mess instead of powder.
