V 5 325

I'm getting the headaches too. Started taking them after I broke my leg. Mine are white oval with red speckles. Big V on one side, 3604 on the other. ## The drug is a generic form of Norco 5/325. It contains 5mg hydrocodone and 325mg of Tylenol.

According to the MayoClinic, headaches are actually listed as a general side effect of Acetaminophen + Hydrocodone. However, if you find that the symptoms are becoming too bothersome or severe, it may just be best to talk with your doctor about trying some other alternatives for pain relief.

I have had two tooth extractions. The pain is killing me and I am not able to sleep well because of the pain. Which medication would be better at treating my pain? Vicodin 5/325 or Percocet 2.5/325? ## In this case, the dosage of Vicodin that you have is stronger than the dosage of Percocet, so it may help more. The FDA warns that these medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Please be sure to follow your dentist's instructions. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you for reply fast, that what my recent dr prescribe for 10 pills of Vicodin 5/325.

Norco 750 white with pink dots ## Prescription drugs that contain Acetaminphen are not allowed to have more than 325 mg of Acetaminphen now. ## @Michelle, Post #1 is correct.

I wouldn't want such high amounts of Acetaminophen in my tablets anyways though since the risk of liver damage is always there. Makes me wonder why they still bother putting Acetaminophen in medications, seeing that it offers very little benefits vs risks. Did you also have any specific questions regarding these pills? I noticed that your thread title/description are pretty vague, but thought I'd offer a second opinion none-t...

My script has changed under the new law. It's now Vicodin with 325 acetaminophen. I've noticed that this new pill is giving me a headache. Only the acetaminophen strength has changed. The strength was 7.5/ 750. It's now 7.5/ 325. Anyone have any idea why the headache? When I switch back to the old, no headache. Thanks in advance. ## Hello, Pamela! How are you? The inactive ingredients could be different and you may be sensitive to one of them. Is the manufacturer listed on the bottle? Or could you post back with the markings on them, so I can check for you? ## The manufacturer is Qualtest. It an oblong peach tablet
