Fake Norco 10 325

Is there a over the counter med that looks like a yellow watson 10/325 norco? ## To my knowledge there aren't any OTC medications that look similar, as this particular yellow Norco pill is unique to Watson. If there's any pills that come remotely close, I'd imagine them to be Mucinex DM or Guaifenesin + pseudoephedrine tablets. Do you have any reason to believe you may have received a fake pill from someone? ## No, I want my girl friend off norcos.I think its all in her head.I want something that wont hurt her like a vitiman.After a couple of weeks tell her I switched them and prove its only in her head. Placebo effect. Thanks ## I will begin by stating that regardless of your intentions, it is morally, and legally wrong to willfully switch a persons medication especially th...

How can you tell a real 7.5/325 from a fake one? Is there any tests you or your pharmacy could do? Thank you! ## Hello, Arlene! How are you? No, the only way to be sure, if you didn't obtain it from a licensed U.S. pharmacy, would be to pay to have it lab evaluated somewhere. Are there any markings on the tablet in question? That information would enable to check more details on it for you, such as if there are known fakes. The FDA classifies this medication as being a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. ## I've gotten two different ones before that I thought and knew were fake. Including Norco 10/325. I'll write down markings of both. Markings on Norco ...

I don't think my Norco is real. It does not feel like it is working and I am having w/d symptoms. It's small, white and round. The markings are RX 497. I've heard that fake pills are making it into the states from overseas and I think mine is fake. Has anyone else experienced this problem? ## Hello, JBT! How are you? This tablet is listed as containing 10mgs of Hydrocdone and 325mgs of Acetainophen. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Were you taking a different one, before? There can be slight fluctuations in the amount of the active ingredients from one generic to another, so this one may be slightly lower than the prior one that you were tak...

I used to take Norco 10/325 for chronic pain by Watson, but Watson was bought out by Actavis. Wow, the difference in pain control went from 10 to zero. All Walgreens and CVS pharmacy's only carry Actavis, so I called around and finally found the generic that works even better than Watson's, and that's Mallinckrodt, at least for me. Most hospital pharmacies carry Mallinckrodt. Amneal, Qualitest and so many other manufacturers are absolute garbage! I have chronic pain from fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis in every joint in my body. I think those fake manufacturers of pain pills should be shut down. ## They aren't fake manufacturers, under the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984, generics are allowed to differ from the name brand, in the amount of the active ingredient, by as much as p...

Hi. I want to know what Norco 176 look like before I take it. Please send me a pic of it. Thank you. ## I need to know what the Norco 176 look like and if they are fake. ## I have the next best thing to a photograph and that is a legitimate pill description for the generic Norco 176 tablet containing 10mgs of Hydrocodone bitartrate + 325mgs of Acetaminophen: - White oval shaped pill with 176 on one side and scored on the back - Reported to be approximately 13.00 mm in size - Manufactured by Sun Pharma - Carries a National Drug Code of 57664-0176 As far as a proper imprint identification goes, this should satisfy your concerns. However, I sense that the only reason to question whether they are fake is if you didn't get them with a prescription through a licensed pharmacy and decided ...

My cousin picked up her perscription of blue watsons oblong with 853 supposed to be 10s 10/325 hydrocodone or norco they are nothing ive ever seen i told her to take them back to the pharmacy its a discount pharmacy are they fake or real im nervous because she lives with me i do not want her getting sick or od ## If it was a legal prescription filled at a licensed pharmacy there is no chance of it being a fake. It's more than likely just a generic brand you may not have seen before. Hope this helps ease your mind. ## There is a white, oval tablet manufactured by Watson Laboratories which they list as containing 10mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. The FSA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizzi...

are these fake. The bottle says Hydrocodone 10/325 Norco but have seen watson 19/ 325 printed on the pill ## Has anyone responded to this post? I, too, have seen pills held up to be hydrocodone 10/325, which have the lettering Watson on one side and 10/325 under it. I have not seen that image in any of the online sources I have seen. Either they are fake or Watson used to, but no longer, makes pills with that image. ## Watson is just the manufacturer, this is one of their tablets. It contains 325mgs of Acetaminophen and 10mgs of Hydrocodone, a narcotic analgesic. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth.

The company Aurobindo hydrocodone/apap 10-325 has U03 on it does not work its as though the meds are fake. don't know for sure but I have never had problems with my meds working until my pharmacy changed to this companyAurobindo ## Hello, Linda! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem you're having. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Have you consulted your doctor? They may need to prescribe an alternative medication, in the meantime. ## Same here! Just got these same bunk meds myself, a couple weeks ago, worthless! Never had trouble with my previous norco, but the ones by aurobindo are terrible, do nothing ...

I received an RX from my pharmacy for HYDROCODONE - ACETAMINOPHEN, 10/325, Generic for Norco. It says it's "Qualitest". The pill is oval, VERY light yellow, has the number 3601 with a 'break line' between the six and the zero. On the flip side is a "V". Here's my problem. I had some pills left over from a prior script and the tablets looked the same with one exception -- the "V" on the new script is "right side up". In other words, you can roll the pill towards you and if you start out being able to read the numbers "right side up", as you roll the pill -- you will still be able to read the "V" right side up. Where as with the previous scrip, the pill would have to be rolled side-ways in order to read the numbers and the V ...

I have been taking norco 10/325 and the pills say watson 853 for some reason the last ones I got where a smaller version and looked shiny compared to my older ones that were a little bigger and more dull looking with a chalky film left in the bottle these new ones that are shiny don't have that chalky film to them and the imprint looks a little different as well. It is not something u would really notice without really looking at them or having one to compare it to. Would these be some kind of fake pill or geneic version. Just curious? ## Hello, Just out of curiosity, did you order these off the internet from one of those overseas pharmacies in India? If you had got them from a legitimate retail pharmacy here in the US I don't see why you'd even have anything to be concerned...

I have yellow, oblong tabs with no imprint or scoring- a sticker placed on blister pack says they are Norco 10/325....package was from dheli, india.....any ideas as to what this is? ## I have been receiving blister packs label Watson 10/325 solid yellow not scored from India post 30 days. Others have claimed that the pill is legitimate and that the mecke opiate test comes back positive. I personally don't know about these. Any feedback? ## I just got some yesterday from India. They are solid yellow but fake. I peeled off the label they put on the blister pack and it is just intagestic. It's made in India and for upset stomach. Looks almost identical to the 10/325.

have you found some reliable online pharmacies? ## I'd like to know if anyone can recommend a good pharmacy online that sells Norco 10/325. It helps my back pain and sinus pain but I don't want to get ripped off by a fake pharmacy. If anyone can help and respond, I would appreciate it. ## Try uspharmacystores, I've had good luck with them ## I recommend checking with a third party service such as PharmacyChecker, as they work to validate reliable online pharmacies. Basically other sites have to apply to be approved in their program, and they enforce a number of requirements. Hope this helps!
