What Are The Side Effects Of 2172 Pills

Re: 5mg hydrocodone - Does one side have a line to break in half and the other side has 2172? ## This tablet is manufactured by Actavis and they list it as containing 5mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, a generic for Norco, or Vicodin. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Does the pill 2172 have a line in the middle on one side and the number 2172 on the other side please respond back to me with a yes or no answer

What is 2172 white oval pill I can't identify it is it a Vicodin 5/325 I can't find what this pill is is it a lortab or is it a 10/325 ## Hello, Kelli! How are you? This tablet is very new and I've only recently been able to find verifiable information on it, but it does contain 5mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. The U.S. FDA classifies it as being a narcotic analgesic, so it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

Been on this for years and again these 2172 are not the same. They must differ in someplace. I get nauseous from them. After taking them almost 20 years there has to be something off here or I wouldn't feel this way. I can take a 10/660 Watson be fine and take a 5/325 2172 and within 30 min I want to vomit! ## Well, you are mentioning 2 different dosages, the pill with the 2172 marking contains 5mgs of Hydrocodone, and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, it is distributed by Major Pharmaceuticals. NDC: 00904-6567 So, if you are used to taking a higher dose, such as the other you've mentioned, then you may be experiencing some withdrawal effects, which may include nausea, headache, vomiting, rebound pain, and sedation, according to FDA reports. Was your dosage supposed to be changed?

Need to know if this is a generic version for Norco (hydrocodone/acetaminophen) 5/325 (2172). What is this pill? ## Hello, Honey! How are you? Yes, after days of looking, I've finally found confirmation that it is. 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? ## FDA needs to remove 2172 pills from market. They are worthless. Shame on Walgreens for passing these off as 5/325s. I guess the bottom line is money and not your health. Good by Walgreens $$$$$$. Never to big to fail. ## THE NEW ONES ARE AWFUL. THEY DONT HELP PAIN. JUST MAKE ME FEEL LIKE A ZOMBIE. AND CANT GET NEW REFILL WITH ONES I H...

2172 pills from Walgreens are not any where near Watson 3202. Don't relieve pain and will give you a headache. I tried to tell the pharmacist but they said that is what they shipped. This is what I have to deal with, *****s. ## There's actually been several complaints here recently on these newer 2172 pills. Since they're generic, my guess is that the percentage of active ingredients are probably less than other manufacturer's versions. Not to mention the different binders/fillers that affect bioavailability or cause unwelcome side effects. It's a shame that pharmacies always go for the cheapest offer they can get and care nothing about quality control for their loyal customers/patients who have to rely on this medication. The entire healthcare sector and our economy...

What u guy's mean it makes u feel like a zombie because i just got a my RX from Walgreens and i have something with a 2172 and i normally get 3202 and i'm afraid to take these. Please help me ## Hi Sunnie, Since everyone responds to medication differently, there's no real way of knowing ahead of time if you're going to have a similar reaction or even no side effects at all. Because the outcome isn't set in stone, I would probably suggest taking other opinions lightly until you have a chance to try it for yourself at least once. If it's of any help though, here are a couple other active discussion threads on the 2172 pill: Discuss/hydrocodone-2172-306266.htm Discuss/pain-pill-2172-norco-305949.htm Hope this helps. ## I too have been on the Watson 5-325 with red sp...

My prescription has always had the label, Watson on one side the other 3202 white oval tablet. This month my refill is different, white oval tablet with #2172 on one side. They told me they're from a different manufacturer, and they seem to not help as much. Is this a weaker brand, was told possibly a (placebo) can you advise me ? Thank you. ## Hello, David! How are you? Has there been any change? It is not a placebo, but there have been many complaints about it lacking efficacy. 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. You may need to consult your doctor about taking an alternative medication, for awhile, until you can find a ...

My prescription is usually Norco 5-325 MAL. NOW THE PHARMACIST GAVE ME NORCO 5-325 QUA. WHATS THE DIFFERENCE? ## Hello, Chase! How are you? The only difference is that they have been manufactured by different companies. In these cases Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals and Qualitest Pharmaceuticals, respectively. When a medication is available as a generic, it is usually manufactured by several different companies, because it creates market competition to help keep prices down for uninsured people. 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.
