Is Vicodin And Narco The Same

I have been taking Vicodin for back pain.... Is Torbutrol the same as Vicodin ? Can I take this? ## Hello, Oliver! How are you? No, they are not the same. Vicodin contains Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone, while Torbutrol contains Butorphanol and you should only take it, if your doctor approves. 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?

Are the doses for Lortab and Hydrocodone identical? I.E.: does 5/325 Hydrocodone = 5/325 Lortab, etc? ## Hello, Chris! How are you? Yes, they both contain Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone, so they are the same. There are several different brand names for this combination medication, some of them are Lortab, Vicodin, Norco and Lorcet. The lower number (5) is the amount of the narcotic Hydrocodone that's in it and the higher number (325) is the amount of Acetaminophen. Learn more Lortab details here. 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.

The chemnical formala for the opiate is different in vicodin and Norco C18H21No3.C4H6B6.21/2H2O In Vicodin it is C18H21No3.C4H6Q6.21/2H2O B6 versus Q6 ## Hello, Ben! How are you? Neither of them contains Codeine, they contain Hydrocodone and the formulaic difference is due to the specific chemical salt used to create the opiate. 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 vicodin 750mg and methocarbamol 750mg are they used for the same reasons ## Methocarbamol (Brand Name Robaxin) is a muscle relaxer. Vicodin is for pain. It has 7.5 mgs hydrocodone & tylenol ## HI, Amy! How are you? Vicodin contains Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone, so it's a narcotic pain reliever. Thus it has the potential to be habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation and drowsiness. Learn more Vicodin details here. However, Methocarbamol is a muscle relaxant that's used to treat the pain associated with muscle sprains, strains and spasms. Its side effects may include nausea, headache, dry mouth and drowsiness.

It has been suggested to me to try Norco or Vicodin for more strentgh. do you agree? ## Norco and Vicodin are both brand names for the same medication, which is Acetaminophen coupled with the narcotic Hydrocodone.

I had the same question. But this aint no narcotic, its just a muscle relaxer. ## Hello, Jerry! How are you? That is correct, Qualitest Pharmaceuticals lists this tablet as containing 750mgs of Methocarbamol, which is a muscle relaxant. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything I can help with?

I am taking vicodin. In Mexico I bought Tylex CD & Lertus CD. Are they the same strength as vicodin? ## fgjhgfhgfhgf ## to the 2nd poster. you are taking some very dangerous drugs. your baby may suffer birth defects and withdrawl syndrome from the Alprax use. I suggest you see a doctor ASAP! ## Shelly, the Vicodin contains Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone. Tylex-CD contains Acetaminophen and Codeine and the Lertus--CD is llisted as containing Diclofenac and Codeine, so these are all different medications. The Codeine is still a narcotic, but the dosage and safe amount you can take in a day can be quite different. Do you have the dosage information on any of them? These details may enable me to help you more. ## I am taking NORCO 10/325 I bought Tylex Cd in mexico 500mg/30mg what is the...

oval white pill with v on one side and 3596 on other ## was changed from norcos to the vicodin 3596, wondering in there is more or less codien in them before taking ## NEITHER ONE HAS CODEINE IN IT!!!! Norco contains exactly the SAME ingredients that Vicodin does!! Please note the V on the pill DOES NOT stand for Vicodin. It stands for the pharmaceutical company: Vintage Qualitest. The pill marked V 3596 contains Acetaminophen 750mgs and Hydrocodone 7.5mgs. Exactly the same as active ingredients as the Norco did. The only difference is who manufactures them and possibly the dosage, if your doctor changed it. Hydrocodone is still a narcotic, but much stronger than codeine. ## is is safe for me to use my medicade card to fill out my norco 10mg scrip even if my dr desn't take medicade ...

I really don't understand the big deal about everyone wanting Vicodin. I have had to take it for the past 10yrs for chronic pain and would give anything to not have to take it. There is no high just the ease up of the pain so I can work. Which I was told I would never do again. My ex-husband used to steal them and try and make me believe I would get up and take them and not remember. Ended that marriage. Then he started drinking again. Makes no sense why you would want to take them if you didn't have to. ## The main reason that some people want them and abuse them is due to the fact that not everyone reacts the same to every medication. The Hydrocodone in Vicodin is a narcotic opiate, so some people do get a a high feeling and euphoria, when they take it. These effects do usuall...

I think I've been scammed by Pakistan. ## This tablet does contain 325mgs of Acetaminophen and 10mgs of Hydrocodone, a generic for Norco, Vicodin and its generics, usually contain more Acetaminophen. This is a narcotic pain reliever, these same tablets are available in the US as generics from pharmacies that carry them.

what are the simularities between Gabapentin and vicodin ## Sorry Bob, They are not simular at all. read the descriptions. Also, Gaba does not work the same for all people-I am on both. Have a good one. Barbara ## There really aren't any. Gabapentin, a generic for Neurontin is an anticonvulsant that has also been proven to help with certain types of nerve pain. Vicodin contains Accetaminophen and Hydrocodone and is a narcotic pain reliever. Is there anything else I can help you with? ## Is there an interaction between Gabapentin and Doxy Cycl Hycl ? I have had a fusion on my L5 S1 with bone Graf at 3 months of recovery I fell on tile and enjured my back. I have R/A as well and was on Humera shots and now have Bacterial infection. So is it safe to take the two pills?

Would 3 tablets of m325 be the same as taking one and a half Vicodin 10? ## Hello, Kyle! How are you? Do you mean the white tablet with the marking M523 on one side and 10/325 on the other? If so, it is manufactured by Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 10mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. In this case, you have the conversion backwards, because Oxycodone is stronger than Hydrocodone. Taking 30mgs of it would be equal to taking 45mgs of Hydrocodone. Thus, it just takes one of these tablets to equal one a half Vicodin 10/325. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

I had both rotor cuffs removed 4 yrs ago been on 750 Vicodin would like to get off of them, will Ultram help? ## I really don't think that Ultram will help. The reason for this is because it contains the active ingredient Tramadol. While Tramadol is listed as just a centrally active analgesic, this has changed several times and been under severe debate. When it was being investigate, the developers were trying to create a medication that would work like a narcotic, but not have the side effects and the addictive nature, however, what they achieved was actually the opposite. It is nowhere near as effective as narcotic, yet can still cause the same side effects, such as nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and constipation, plus it still has the propensity to cause abuse and addiction.

Is there vicodin 5/325 or is it hyrocodone or oxycodone ## Hello, Ken! How are you? Vicodin is a trade name for Hydrocodone with Acetaminophen, so they are the same thing. Oxycodone is slightly stronger than Hydrocodone and when coupled with Acetaminophen, it's available in the same doses. 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.

If your child has these pills you have a serious problem if they were not prescribed by a Dr. They should only be used under medical supervision . ## That is correct, Harold!

Is Vicodin 750 considered a downer like Xanax? ## No, Vicodin is the exact same chemical make up of Lortab. It is Hydrocodone and Acetaminaphen, which is a narcotic analgesic (a pain killer). I take Lortab for FMS pain, They do not make me tired, they actually make me feel upbeat, but I do not know if that is because the pain is gone or if it is because it is an opiate. Most narcotic analgesics are opiates which means they bind opiate receptors in your spinal cord so you sense pain differently, they also give some people a sense of uphoria, which is why they are habit forming. Please be careful. ## While you are stating the correct ingredients, narcotics, are in essence considered downers. Normal side efffects of narcotic pain killers are drowsiness and respiratory depression. They do n...

white pill oval, it shows a V sign on one side and the numbers 35 86 on the other side. I was wondering how many mgs it has???? I was told 1000 ## Well, there is no Vicodin that contains 1,000mgs of anything, the maximum dosage available of it would be with 10mgs of the Hydrocodone and 750mgs of Acetaminophen. The tablet you have with the 3586 V is actually called Ibudone, it contains 10mgs of Hydrocodone and 200mgs of Ibuprofen, the same ingredients as Vicoprofen.
