Pink Lortab 10 500 Watson

I have been a chronic low back pain patient for 3 years now and been on the lortab 10/500mg the entire time. Iv been receiving the pink V3600 lortabs, but for the last 3 months my pharmacist told me there was a recall on them. but today he had a shipment of them in, but i was getting the bpue Watson 540 lortabs and in my opinion i do know they are the same thing. but even my pharmacist told me that not only me but lits of pain patients prefer the pink to any other lortab because they seem to take effect faster and last alot longer, i go to a owner operator pharmacy instead of wapgreens because a individual pharmacy gives you the option to pick your preference you may have to pay extra as i have to pay what my inaurance does not. but i would try a individuals or family pharmacy because a...

I was getting the blue Watson Lortab 10/500 till they changed to the white ones, which do not help the pain at all. They did do something to the formula, it's not in my head. Today I found a pharmacy that has got the pink 10/500 made by Qualitist Pharm. which they took of the market back in Jan. Now they are back with 3600 on one side and a V on the other. Approx. the same price and MUCH MUCH better.THANKS QUALITIST. ## I am glad you found a brand that work for you, again. And I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there is something you should be made aware of, because it will have an affect on you in the near future… By request of the FDA, all of these combination prescription medications are being changed to contain no more than 325mgs of Acetaminophen per dos...

Does anyone know why Watson generic 10/500mg Lortab is no longer available? I am a chronic pain sufferer and have been on this medication for many years. Now my Pharmacy has changed to a different generic and they do not relieve pain. My Dr. told me to change Pharmacies in order to get the Watson Lortab but other Pharmacies don't carry them either. They have a pink one. ## i live in alabama and my mother in law takes lortab 10. i found the blue ones at walgreens. hope this helps. ## FDA NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release: January 13, 2011 The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is asking manufacturers of prescription combination products that contain acetaminophen to limit the amount of acetaminophen to no more than 325 milligrams (mg) in each tablet or capsule. The FDA also is requir...

what does a lor-tab 10/500 look like ## Are there any markings on the tablet you are asking about? This is what enables us to identify it for you. Since it is available as both a generic and name brand, there are quite a few on the market. Some of the markings and descriptions include: White, oblong, M363 Blue, oblong, WATSON540 pink, oblong, V 3600 pink, oblong, UCB 910 And this is by no means a comprehensive list. Do any of these match the tablet you have? ## I have a pink ucb910. Is this the name brand?

I was taking lortab 10/500 blue with Watson 540 stamped on the pill, taking four a day. My pain has worsened. Dr changed my meds to Oxycodone 10mg it's very small (pink with k56 on the pill). What's the difference? Got me taking 1 every 4 to 6 hours and 180 a month. Is that ok? Or should I be worried? ## Hi Todd, Both of these medications are narcotics that are classified as controlled substances. Although they have similar side effects and drug interactions, they are different drugs. Oxycodone is generally considered to be more potent than Hydrocodone (although some people may find Hydrocodone to work better, due to individual differences in how people react to medications). It is also available as a single-ingredient medication or in combination with other active ingredients, ...

I have been taking the 10/500 mg pink hydrocodone and recently there was a recall on this pill.I was given the same in a white oblong pill.The pink has always seemed to work best for me.Do you know when the pharmacy will be able to distribute the pink ones again ?. ## Does anyone know when the pink lortab will be back in the drug stores?? ## Yes, the pink tablets manufactured by Qualitest and distributed by Mylan Pharmaceuticals were recalled due to the concern that they contain more Acetaminophen than they should. Learn more Vicodin details here. That said, there were only 3 lots that were recalled, there are still others available, it's likely that your pharmacy just didn't have any in stock at this time, so they provided you with the medication from a different manufacturer. ...
