Norco M366

Why is it that some doctors still question you about pain pills when you have a metal plate in your knee and broke your leg several times and hurts so much but won't give me surgery! I have been taking these pills for almost 4 years since my accident and I just want to feel better, without people knowing I have became so dependent on them! I don't want to hurt the ones I love. I am very well educated, great job, I want to feel better again, my attitude changes due to taking to many due to pain or not having any! Please suggestions I don't want to be addicted anymore and my doctors are just pill pushers. I want my life back if I could help anyone never take these I would they are bad news for everyone may not seem bad now but I am watching my fun, forgiving loving personality...

I've been taking the light pink or orange generic Norco now they gave me this M366 smaller white pill. Every time I take it I get nauseated. Why? They should be the same....but something is making me nauseated. I've called my pharmacist and they say it should be the same. Has anyone got any ideas? I'm taking it just like I did the other one. ## Hello, Leah! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. Generic medications are allowed to differ from the name brand by as much as plus or minus 20% of the active ingredients, as set forth by the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984 and they don't have to measure against each other, so there's a chance that this new one is a bit stronger, which could explain the nausea. The FDA classifies this medication as a na...

oval, white number on them M366 ## m363 ## Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals lists this tablet as containing 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone, and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. The tablet with the marking of M 363 is listed by Mallinckrodt as containing 10mgs of Hydrocodone, and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any images to post for you. Has anyone else been on these who can post with their experiences?

I have been taking Norco light orange, V 36 05, now I was given Norco white M366, which has a better reputation for pain relief? ## Hello, Pay! How are you? Both contains 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. 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. It really comes down to which one works best for you. Have you tried the new ones, yet? How are they working?

white oblong tablet markings on one side m366 ## Hydrocodone bitartrate + Acetaminophen 7.5 mg / 325 mg (M366) by Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals This is really generic Norco, and not generic Vicodin... The Vicodin strength closest to this is 7.5mg/750 mg ## That ID is correct, though since they contain the same ingredients, most doctors and pharmacists use Norco and Vicodin interchangably. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Wanting information on a while oval oblong pill. On one side there is an M366 nothing on the other side. Can y'all tell me about this pill? ## This tablet is manufactured by Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. 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.

I know its not my imagination. The new white Norcos give me about 10-20% (if that) of the pain relief my former pills did & for an 1 hour vs 3. They primarily make me sleepy, nauseous & so far there is no alternative. My old pills were fine but just 2 wks ago I got these white ones M366 by Malincroft & noticed a huge difference that first day. I had quality-of-life with the old ones, Its hard enough living with pain, now Since then life is so difficult! I'm discouraged & barely functional. It feels like a placebo! Im not a comspiracy theorist but with all the news about pain pill addiction & drs being sued, I cant help wonder if this is a way to force us to detox, bec since taking these white pills Im in a near-constant state of detox. Are we with legit pain issues

I have been taking the generic form of Orange Oblong shaped form of Norco which is hydrocodone 7.5 which was working fine until they changed it to a pill with the markings M366. These things are absolutely worthless. Does Mallinckrodt plan on going out of business soon or are they going to remove these from the pharmacies. I'm sending samples of mine to the FDA to see what's wrong with them. ## I've used Qualitest 3605 for years and I agree, the Mallinckrodt M366 are substantially inferior (bio-equivalence) for pain relief. My current Part D insurance uses Walmart Home Delivery. I've called them and complained. ## They do not work. I have been spending most of my time in bed since getting my prescription from Walgreens with mfg Mallinckrodt. I believe that they are place...

This is a narcotic pain reliever. Some of the most common side effects include: nausea, dry mouth, constipation and drowsiness.

I have been reading that the m366 is a vicodin but my proscription said norco 7.5 get it filled it say lorcet plus. How is everyone getting its a vicodin? ## All the medications you've mentioned are just different brand names for the same thing, Hydrocodone coupled with Acetaminophen, thus it really doesn't matter which one it's referred to as being. 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. Is there anything else I can help with?

what is the difference between m 366 oval and white and the 10/36 tellow oval ## I know the yellow oval is commonly refereed to as a norco and that the white oval is a vicodin. Why the difference and is one more powerful when were talking about pain relief. Also if Tylenol is taken in addition to either of these pain killers is the ability to kill pain enhanced . thanks rick ## The tablet with the M 366 marking contains 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. The tablet with the 3601 V marking contains 10mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. So, the latter is stronger, because it has more of the narcotic ingredient. Learn more Vicodin details here. As to the Acetaminophen, they both already contain it and, since too much of it in any 24 hour period is toxic, you rea...

I have been taking Hydrocodone-Acetominophen 7.5-325 for years for degenerative disks in my back. The generic Aurobindo tablets don't work for me and make me nauseated. Applause go to: Mallinckrodt. Mallinckrodt manufactures that same prescription (white pill M366) and they are the only ones I have found that actually work with no unpleasant side effects. I really wish my pharmacy hadn't switched manufacturers. I am extremly disappointed in Aurobindo generic for Norco. The other one that didn't work was orange with a V on one side and 36|05 on the other, manufactured by Qualitest. It was garbage, just like the Aurobindo. ## I've probably just read 50 reviews on Hydrocodone 10-325's & you're the first person that actually has something good to say about Mallin...

I'm sure they're more than a few of you out there that might be returning to look into basically the same problems with Mallinckrodt Pharm"s Hydrocodone/APAP 7.5/325, commonly referred to as Norco. About 4 years ago, Mallinckrodt dumped a bunch of this product on the US market. I have been taking Norco for about 12 years & have always been at about the same dose and never had any problems until I ran into this brand. I've had Actavis, Watson, & Qualtest brands with relatively no noticeable difference. Then four years ago, I filled my usual prescription and came home to find a different shaped tablet with M366 on the side. Almost immediately after my first dose, first came the stomach ache, then the headache, and eventually the feeling of withdrawal. I went to the...

The doctor said i was being prescribed vicodin but the bottle says "hydrod/apap 5/500 mallin". Is that the same as vicodin? ## Based on the abbreviation of hydrod/apap 5/500 that points to the active ingredients Hydrocodone 5 mg / Acetaminophen (APAP) 500 mg, which are the same ingredients as in Vicodin. Mallin is most likely referring to the manufacturer of the medication (Mallinckrodt?) - So yes, what you have is a generic equivalent of Vicodin. ## I thought it was same as norco. I take 7.5/325 now of the mal brand and I am afraid it’s not going to help as well as the peach colored A brand. Are they the same? This new one has m366 on it.
