What Is In A Norco 10

What color is a non generic norco 10 mg and who is original manufacture. ( original norco)What color is original 10 mg norco ## There usually Watson & yellow.... ## @Cents, I believe Patrick (post #1) is right about Watson being the original manufacturer of the yellow oblong/oval shaped tablets. However, Actavis is now the company who took over and they altered the formula to make them white in their physical appearance. It was after this change that many patients also reported a significant difference in the tablet's overall effectiveness. I for one have not tried either, but if you take a look around the various related threads here on MedsChat, you may find several reviews that discuss this change from the original formula. It is widely thought that Actavis put less active in...

its white it says m367on one side on the other side it has a line in the middle like u could snap it in half and its suppose to be 10-325 norco. never seen this ## Yes, this contains 10mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, the generic for Norco. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth. Read more here: Is there anything else I can help you with? ## I snap them in half to control the nausea and pain, but it also keeps my head in check. These are very dangerous as 367 are real s***. Addictive... Sometimes I need both halves. But Sometimes you don't... If you can average one half not being taken for a day out of a 3 day pain regiment, there is still hope. Not to mention when it's bad and I need the pain relief, breaking it in half seems...

I got rx bottle said norco 10/325 but the pill has IP 109 on it. Is it 10mg? ## Hello, Princess! How are you? No, the tablet with the IP 109 marking on it contains 5mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. Did your pharmacy dispense it like this? 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.

What is the difference in Norco 5-325 and Norco 10-325. ## Hi Scarlett, Aside from obvious changes in the dosage, the primary underlying difference between these two pills are the inactive ingredients (binders & fillers) that may or may not be present in each brand. Certain "inactive" ingredients are actually detrimental to how the drug is metabolized and used by your body. So it is quite possible that you may end up having a better reaction to a lesser dose just because of bioavailability and how your system responds to various fillers such as propylene glycol, corn starch, and other genetically modified substances. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Norco Details I hope this info helps! ## The first word is always the narcotic. This second word can always b...

my doc told me he was giving me norcos but the bottle says generic for lortab white oblong IP109. so is it a Norco or lortab? ## Hello! How are you? I'm sorry about the confusion, but I'm happy to clear it up for you! Norco and Lortab are both name brands for a medication that contains Hydrocodone and Acetaminophen, so it it really doesn't matter which one your pharmacy lists on the label, they have still provided you with the correct medication. The tablet you've received is manufactured by Amneal Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 5mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen (NDC 53746-109). Inactive Ingredients: - Crospovidone - Povidone - Starch, Corn - Stearic Acid The FDA classifies this medication as being a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potent...

which colors are strongest to weakest? white, yellow, or peach ## The yellow and white oblong tablets imprinted with NORCO over 539 on one side and blank on the other, reportedly contain a dosage of 10/325. I think the white version might've came after the yellow one, but both seem to carry the same National Drug Code of 52544-0539. I also located a peach and/or white oblong tablet with NORCO over 729 imprinted on one side and blank on the back that reportedly contain a dosage of 7.5/325. Lastly, there's a smaller 5mg/325mg Norco tablet that's white with red specks; imprinted with WATSON on one side and 913 on the other. Hope this helps!

I've taken pain meds for over 10 years, two years ago the doctor upped my script a bit from Vicodin 7.5/750 (d/day) to Norco 10/325 (3/day) but then last October I couldn't find the 10's anywhere (I prefer to get all my scripts from one pharmacy, a mom & pop shop I've been going to for almost 20 years). So kindly the doc switched me to Norco 7.5/350 (4/day) based on my pharmacy's suggestion. Now the pharmacy has been out for a week! I have no idea when my script will get filled and went to another pharmacy to ask an the said they aren't taking on new pain customers. I offered to transfer all my scripts there, only one is for pain but they still said no. Now what? Is there a shortage again in the Warren/Ferndale area of MI or is this happening across the count...

I have a friend who has been taking anywhere from 4-6 Norco 10 325mg a day at times she can't sleep due to her pain that gets so excruciating. She takes10-12 in 24hr. for chronic pain, an has been taking them for the last 10yrs. Today I watched her take 7 of them at once, she was in severe pain. Should I be concerned that she may have over dosed herself? Or will she be fine if I go home for the night? ## That is far too many for her to be taking, at once. It is very dangerous to exceed over 1.000mgs of Acetaminophen in any 8 hour period, and no one should take more than 3,000mgs in any 24 hour period, according to FDA directives. Taking too much, at once, could result in liver damage, liver failure, and acetaminophen toxicity, that requires medical treatment. How is your friend doin...

What is the equivalent of norco 10 mg to Tylenol W codeine, is it a #3 or #4 ? ## Hi brian, I'd recommend double checking this with your doctor first just to make sure it's accurate, but according various opiate conversion charts I viewed online, 10mgs of Hydrocodone has an estimated equivalency to about 60mgs of Codeine. And in that respect Norco 10/325 should be similar to Tylenol #4; which has 60mgs of Codeine + 325mgs of Acetaminophen. Does anyone else find this to be true based on personal experience?

Having a total knee replacement done in March have tried every type of therapies for pain, including CORTISONE and ORTHOVISC, but nothing helps... Doctor put me on Norco (5mg. / 325 mg.).

In Georgia, can my Dr call in a prescription for Norco 375/10, or does it have to be written? Can my Dr put refills on the prescription, or would I have to see the Dr monthly to get another prescription? ## Hi Jean, I believe it is your doctor's discretion to make these types of decisions, because there are many doctors out there who do call in prescriptions everyday, and it seems to just come down to their willingness to do so on your behalf. My mom actually had her doctor call in her Norco refill a number of times, due to her inability to leave the house frequently; but still had to be there in person to pick it up if that makes sense. However, she lives in California, not Georgia, so this is something you may have to call your doctor about and ask him directly for assistance. I h...

I have been taking 10/325 norco for many years. A few days ago I received my medication and found it had been replaced with Aurobindo Pharm U03 imprint. They make me feel very ill with a headache nausea and worse they do not take my pain away at all. I also feel very dizzy. How has the FDA approved this Indian company? Has anyone else had a problem with the U03 10/325 hydrocodone. Im frightened to take them but need pain relief. ## Yes, your pharmacy couldn't dispense it to you, if it weren't FDA approved. But there can be fluctuations from one generic medication to another, or when going from the name brand to a generic. That means this one may be slightly lower in the amount of the active ingredients, so it may not work as well for you as the other one did. Usually, the fluctu...
