White Watson 3203 Versus Yellow 10mg/3.75mg (Page 2)

Hi I have a serious question to ask. I have been on Norco 10mg/3.25mg for a while now because I have chronic pain in my back. These pills that I take are yellow in color, and they help a great deal. However, I got my meds filled, and this time I got a white pill that reads on one side Watson 3203, and on the other side a straight line down the middle. This pill has the same mg as my yellow Norco do. Here is the question. Why does this pill not help my pain? What ingredient has been took out. of the white watson 10mg/3.25mg pill? I have read were other people are having the same issue as me. Plus this is not the first time I have got this watson 3203 white pill, and each time I do it does not help my pain and others pain! I hope after reading this people at the watson company may read my story, and check in also on other people's story, and put back in the ingredients that has been removed. Please take this to heart because a lot of people are not happy with the watson 3203 white pill. Plus people are in pain, and expect relief of that pain when they take their meds. Also on a final thought if no ingredients has been removed then someone needs to analyze this med real closely, and find out why the white watson 10mg/3.25mg pill is no where as good as a yellow 10mg/3.25mg pills are. They are as different as night and day! Please look into your customer's story because something is really wrong with all the white watson pills.

Tbh...anytime ive been prescribed norco if it says watson they never help. Idk what the difference is but wether its 10mg 7.5 or even a 5mg its never as strong as other brands. Thats why i stopped using walgreens bc theyre the only ones around here who serve watson brand.

Well that is because the Watson 3203 white pill with the line down the middle on the other side is only 7.5 mgs of hydrocodone 325 of acetaminophen. Which is just the generic version of this drug and can be used as as a substitute for norco.Clearly they don't work for you because your taking a lower dose than what your used to.

Hello Missy. The reason the white meds are not working is because it is a 7.5 mg and the yellow ones are 10 mgs. There is a major difference n 7.5's verses 10 mg's.

Watson 3203 is a 7.5 not a 10mg hydrocodone tablet it will not help pain as much as the stronger one

The 3203 is a 7.5/ 325 norco, if this is what they gave you then you got "screwed", so to speak. You lose 2.5 mg of the pain meds per pill. That is one of the many, many reason why I will not deal with Walgreens.

I agree the white 10/325s don't work as well as the yellow Norco. I have severe crippling arthritis and have bone on bone in my knees and the pharmacies up here in West Branch, MI. are starting to give me the white ones. I am 69 and I get no relief with the white 10/325s. What can be done about this?

Re: Martha (# 30)

Hi Martha. Sorry to hear about your situation. Over the years pharmacies have started phasing out the yellow Norco tablets and began replacing them with white ones. Despite countless complaints concerning their efficacy it seems as though nothing has been done within the manufacturer's role to produce a better quality product. As far as what can be done (?) I would probably ask my doctor to specify a particular manufacturer's product on the prescription itself. This way pharmacies will be more adept to fill your script accordingly. We as patients shouldn't have to tolerate the cheapest thing drug companies are willing to purchase, but we do vote with our money and an honest doctor should help steer their patient in the right direction.

Hope you're doing well!
