Lertus 50mg

I have been taking norco 10mg/325 for about 3 yrs for chronic back pain and went to laredo Mexico they prescibed me lertus 50mg and said that it is equivalent to percocet. Are they equivalent or nothing alike?? Please help!!! ## Based on my research, Lertus 50mg contains the active ingredient: Diclofenac Sodium 50 mg. Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat mild-to-moderate pain, and helps to relieve symptoms of arthritis. In my honest opinion it's not very similar to Percocet or Norco at all in terms of potency. The only thing that makes these drugs similar is the fact they they can all be used for pain. But the difference in potency is probably night and day, depending on your tolerance levels. I personally have only taken Norco before so I can...

These pills are GOOD! I just got a prescription from mexico (50mg of codeine). I only took half tho cuz 50mg of codeine is a lot to take at one time. It worked great for several hours. ## Just wanted to post the medication dosing guidelines for Codeine, in case you didn't know: "The usual adult dosage for tablets is 15 mg to 60 mg repeated up to every four hours as needed for pain. The maximum 24 hour dose is 360 mg." "Adult doses of codeine higher than 60 mg fail to give commensurate relief of pain and are associated with an appreciably increased incidence of undesirable side effects." "When the patient no longer requires therapy with codeine sulfate, doses should be tapered gradually to prevent signs and symptoms of withdrawal in the physically dependent patien...
