How Strong Is Vicodin 5 300mg

is Norco 10—325 mg stronger than vicodin 7.5-300 mg? My doctor changed my prescription to the Vicodin 7.5-300mg without telling me. Is he trying to get me off the Norco or what? I need my pain pills for my body aches, I have bone cancer on my spine, leg, and hip. ## Hi Sessy, Sorry to hear about your situation. My guess on the stronger medication would probably be the Norco 10/325. I tend to believe the 2.5mg difference in Hydrocodone can provide more pain relief than the 25mg difference in Acetaminophen; but that's just me and I'm not a regular user of the stuff. What are you thoughts on the Vicodin 7.5/300 after taking it? To be honest, I actually didn't know that they still made brand name Vicodin. It's been a while since anyone has mentioned it on here too, so ...

How strong compared to a 500mg vicodin is a 2065v on one side and a 4 on the otherside. Or is it closer to a tylenol 3 ## Hello, Amber! How are you? The tablet with the 2065 V marking contains 300mgs of Acetaminophen and 60mgs of Codeine. 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. Codeine is actually a pretty weak opiate, so 60mgs of it is only equal to 9mgs of Hydrocodone. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I have a pill with a2065 v one side and a #4 on the other side. What is that equal to in a vicadin or percocet

is this the same as vicodin 500/7.50 mg of codein? is the codein same as tylinol 3 ## Hello, Frank! How are you? No, Vicodin does not contain Codeine. Vicodin contains Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone. Learn more Vicodin details here. The tablet with 2064 V 3 marking contains 300mgs of Acetaminophen and 30mgs of Codeine. Learn more Codeine details here. So this is a generic for Tylenol 3, but it's nowhere near as strong as the Vicodin. Just to give you an example for comparison, you'd actually have to take 50mgs of Codeine to be equivalent to each 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone. 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. Is there anything else I can help with?

Is bp 643 with 10 in the middle on reverse side as strong as hp 10 660? For pain. ## HI, Jeanne! No, the dosages are different. The tablet with the BP 643 10 on it contains 300mgs of Acetaminophen and 10mgs of Hydrocodone, while the one with the HP 10 660 marking contains 660mgs of Acetaminophen and 10mgs of Hydrocodone. These are both generics for Vicodin, Lorcet, Norco and others. Since they are narcotic analgesics, they may be habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Learn more Vicodin details here. Another note that needs to be added here is that as of 2013, the FDA has made a request that all manufacturers lower the amount of Acetaminophen in these combination prescription products to no more than 325mgs per dose...
