Difference Between Yellow Hydrocodone Acetaminophen With 1096 Vs White Pill Same Strength But U03. Both Say Sub For Norco. (Page 5)

Updated

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. I was then switched to a white oval pill with the same strength, but has U03 on one side. both say substituted for Norco.

You can thank your fda for putting a 20% variable on generics... The fda needs to step up and accept their part in the opioid issue (it is not an epidemic... Epidemics are diseases, opioids are a drug). That variance can be a major issue on higher generic opioids. If you are scripted 60mg & your pharmacy has been getting them at the 48mg level then changes suppliers and now gets them at the 72mg level and you usually took a double dose in morning because you were not actually getting the scripted dose, you just went from 96mg to 144 mg. That is a major change for an individual just trying to get through the day.... Now lets say you are an abuser of the meds and instead of 2 you take 10 --- now you went from 480mg to 720mg and the fda just killed you... That may be a bit extreme but the theory is sound.

They told me the yellow has less coating on them so they effect you quicker an the white has a thicker coating so it takes longer for them to do there job

I usually take the yellow norcos, however, was out of town and got them filled at another pharmacy. I was given an oval white kind imprint U03. My complaint is, these make me feel loopy, which I don't like. I am wondering if anyone has had this problem?

I take them for chronic pain. No insurance so it sucks. I tried almost every pharmacy in my town. Last filled prescription I got the yellow ones at HEB. $85 out of pocket and they do not work. I've had white ones that worked better. Im so sick of it. I need something that works. We are screwed by the pharmaceutical companies.

Yes. I always have had the yellow. I'm out of town an they gave me the white ones. I took one an felt loopy, nausea, and had to lay down and try to sleep it off! I habe never ever felt that from the yellow pills!!! I called the pharmacists an they said there was nothing I could do but call my doctors and have them give me a new script an call other pharmacy to see if they have the yellow ones! Ughhhh

Will repost this info ....... if you have found a medication that works for you at the bottom of the label to the right of the strength there is a manufacteror code .... look on the bottle the med that worked came in and call the pharmacy and ask them what those letters mean ....then when you drop any scripts confirm the manufacteror b4 you leave when you pick up your script inspect that they are the correct ones .... its not rocket science

Yes. The same thing happened to me today for the first time and a very long time I've never had these white over ones and I feel horrible all day. It's supposed to be the same thing but I'm itching uncontrollably and I feel like I'm going to throw up I don't understand.

I don't understand why the u30 make you feel so diffeent. I have taken 2 today of the 4 I'm prescribed daily I usually have a normal energy level. I have three kids and I I'm a hairdresser and I'm completely functional but today I'm itching uncontrollably and I keep feeling like I'm just going to fall asleep. I called the doctor's office and they said to contact the pharmacy. I don't understand why if it's the same medication this is happening. They said they are out of the other brand right now but I cannot continue to take this. Any advice?

I have taken several pain pills for years including hydros 367 and U03 and they work great no pain no nothing '. Maybe they work on certain people and we have different reactions

It don't have the same amount of hydrocodone as the yellow it should be out lawed for them to give them out !
