Vicodin Norco

is Norco 10—325 mg stronger than vicodin 7.5-300 mg? My doctor changed my prescription to the Vicodin 7.5-300mg without telling me. Is he trying to get me off the Norco or what? I need my pain pills for my body aches, I have bone cancer on my spine, leg, and hip. ## Hi Sessy, Sorry to hear about your situation. My guess on the stronger medication would probably be the Norco 10/325. I tend to believe the 2.5mg difference in Hydrocodone can provide more pain relief than the 25mg difference in Acetaminophen; but that's just me and I'm not a regular user of the stuff. What are you thoughts on the Vicodin 7.5/300 after taking it? To be honest, I actually didn't know that they still made brand name Vicodin. It's been a while since anyone has mentioned it on here too, so ...

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. Acetaminophen is capped out at 325mg now-a-days. So the old Vicodin's with 750mg of Acetaminophen are no longer being made. However you can still get the 7.5mg dose of Hydrocodone. 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...

I want to see if the pill Norco comes with the imprint A 60 on it? ## Hello, Gina! How are you? Is it an orange/brown colored tablet that is shaped like a caplet? If so, it is manufactured by Aurobindo Pharma and they list it as containing 30mgs of Mirtazapine, which is an antidepressant. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight changes.

I was on Vicodin for three years for a back injury now that he changed it they put me on Norco and I've been getting sick on this pain medication what can I do ? ## Hello, Bosslady! How are you? There may be different inactive ingredients in this one that don't agree with you. Have you consulted your doctor about the problem? They may be able to prescribe something to help with the nausea, or a different medication entirely.

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 ...

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.

I Took my prescription to a pharmacy to be filled and they said they couldn't fill it because that strength 10 325 doesn't exist anymore with Vicodin. They said the doctor should've made the prescription out for either 10/300 or Norco 10/325. I went to another chain pharmacy and they said there was no problem at all and they filled the prescription and said the law allowed them to generically fill the prescription with either Norco 10/325 or Vicodin 10/300 which ever they had available as long as it wasn't over 10/325. Who is right? ## Hello, Vann! How are you? Technically, both are right. The pharmacy has the right to refuse, since it was written like that, but they don't have to, because as the other pharmacy said, they can substitute. Thus, it would be up to the p...

I have some YELLOW oblong pills from Pakistan. Pill says WATSON 853 and is yellow football shaped. Is suppossed to be Vicodin 10/325. Does not stop pain. Is it safe? 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. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. You can find more information on the medication here: The problem you may be running into, if you have never taken this generic before, is that the FDA does allow generics to differ from their name brand counterparts, in the...

All Hydrocodone Combination medications will become a Schedule II meds Oct. 6, 2014. ## Hello, BL! How are you? Thank you for the very helpful post. It is correct. I recently received the notice about it. That means no more refills and its use will be much more strictly regulated. 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. Does anyone have any questions about this change?

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 there anything else I can help with?

I am currently taking Tramadol for lower back pain. It is not cutting it. 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. It may cause side effects, such as nausea, constipation, dizziness and dry mouth. However, only you and your doctor can decide if it is necessary for you to try something else. Is it your doctor that's advising you to do so? ## actually it is a registered nurse I know. I want to ask my doctor about it after I get some more info. I am also taking "SOMA" as a muscle relaxer.

peach colored pill watson 346 on one side a slit on the other side ## This tablet contains 5mgs of Hydrocodone and 500mgs of Acetaminophen, the active ingredients in Lortab, Norco, Vicodin and/or Lorcet. It is a narcotic analgesic, so it may be habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. You can learn more Lorcet details here. Another note that needs to be added here is that as of 2013, the FDA has made a request that all manufacturers lower the amount of Acetaminophen in these combination prescription products to no more than 325mgs per dose. There are many concerns about the dangers of liver damage and failure that can be associated with long-term use of high amounts, as well as the toxicity of overdose. Some manufactu...

I was just wondering what the effects of this pain pill are. Are they similiar to vicodin or norcos? ## I was on Ultraset in the past for a herniated disk. Ultraset is not as strong as Vicodin, Percocet. It is the lowest on the pole for the painkillers. Instead of weaning myself of the drug, I stopped immediately and had side effects. My muscles ache and I felt lethargic. ## Ultracet contains the active ingredients Acetaminophen and Tramadol, the Tramadol is derived from an opiate, but is not as effective at treating pain as an actual narcotic, which is why it is no longer classified as one. As of this time, it is only classified as a centrally acting analgesic. However, it does have some habit forming potential and can cause side effects similar to those of narcotics, such as nausea, d...

My family Dr. like many others no longer prescribe pain meds for chronic ,long term patients. as a result of a bad car accident I have a broken back in two places a replaced shoulder and ruined hips. I don't like going to the pain clinics but will if that's the only way to get relief. Ide rather find a family/general practitioner who I can stay with.. Thanks for any suggestions for a understanding Doctor. ## PCPs can no longer prescribe such medications on a long-term ongoing basis, thus a pain management specialist is your only option. 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. Can anyone suggest a good doctor in that area? Have you tried asking your cur...

Is a norco 365 stronger then a vicodin 357 and why ## Based on my research, Norco M365 is "weaker" than Vicodin M357. It's simply a matter of each pill containing a different dosage of Acetaminophen. Norco M365 contains: Acetaminophen (325 mg) + Hydrocodone bitartrate (5 mg). Vicodin M357 contains: Acetaminophen (500 mg) + Hydrocodone bitartrate (5 mg). Learn More: Acetaminophen + Hydrocodone If you have any more questions or concerns, please post back and I will be happy to help you. ## Is m365 stronger than m360 in vicodin ? ## I had a doctor prescribe the 5-300 Vicodin, and not only did it cost a whole lot more ($68 for 60 when 120 Norco cost $44), but in didn't work as well as the Norco.

On top of that I also realize they stopped making tablets with more than 325mgs of AP...
