What Is The Difference From K 8 And 9

What's the difference in the 3203 and the m360? ## Hi Kim, The most noticeable difference between these two medications is the dosage. M360 contains 750mgs of Acetaminophen, whereas Watson 3203 only contains 325mgs of Acetaminophen. Aside from that, the only other difference I noticed is that they are manufactured by different companies. Because of this, there may be a slight variation of inactive ingredients. Certain "inactive" ingredients that may or may not be present in each brand are actually detrimental to how the drug is metabolized and used by your body. And because everyone is different, your body may respond favorably with one medication and not the other, due to how you feel or based on whatever side effects present themselves. NOTE: When you switch brand names or...

What does XL and IL mean on prescription drugs. ## Hello, Theresa! How are you? The various markings like this are just different abbreviations to denote that a medication is in a time released formulation, you may also see DR, SR, DA, SA, XR and others. It's just something that it seems the pharmaceutical community has gotten a bit carried away with. They need to decide on one universal one, so things are less confusing. Is there anything else I can help with?

what is the difference between hydromorphon and hydromorphon hcl ## Hello, Cheryl! How are you? They are the same substance, one just lists the specific chemical salt that it is derived from, which in this case is a hydrochloride and the other doesn't. 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?

just wanted to know if there is a difference between the 2. I am perscribed morphine sulfate er 15 mg twice daily. My neck has been operated on a few times so i have severe pain daily. I forgot my pills at home over the weekend. My mother is perscribed Opana 10mg. She gave me one and it seemed to work better. Wanted to know if there is a difference between the 2. I am not sure how to go about asking my dr to switch me. Don't want her to freak about my mom giving me one of hers... ## Opana contains the active ingredient Oxymorphone and it is actually stronger than Morphine. So, the one 10mg tablet that you took was actually equal to taking 30mgs of the Morphine, at once. They are both narcotics, so the side effect profile is similar and can include: nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and ...

They look the same and both descriptions say hydrocodone / acetaminophen 10-325 mg. Is there a difference and are they interchangeable? ## Actually, Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals list the tablet with the M 366 marking as containing 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone with 325mgs of Acetaminophen, and they list the one with the M 367 marking as containing 10mgs of Hydrocodone with 325mgs of Acetaminophen, so they are different. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth.

Hi sir. I have been using Telma...& the my doctor has changed it to Olmat H...appreciate if you can give the comparison between the two,does the change is necessary as I was comfortable with Telma. ## Hello, Sanjeev! How are you? Why did your doctor change it? Was your blood pressure still elevated? Olmat-H contains Olemsartan and Hydrochlorothiazide to try to help lower your blood pressure more. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and dehydration.

I have both pills, m 367 and watson 853, the pharmacy ran out of one so split it with the 853. Anyway I have been taking norco for over 2 years and for some reason neither seem to work for my pain. I am going to talk to my PCP and maybe get a different medication. I went on a few websites and they said one of these norco manufacturers went out of buisness. Thank you for your time ## Hello, Teena! How are you? Both of the tablets you mentioned contain 10mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, they are generics for Norco. Learn more Norco details here. 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. However, if you've been taking it for that long, there'...

I have hydrocodone 5 mg-acetaminophen 325 mg tablets which my doctor prescribed me due to back aches I was just wondering if it mater if the pills had any specks or not? does it make a difference in the pill because the ones I have seem to not be working for my pain? ## @Moses, Do you know what the color or imprint is on that pill you have? If you could post back here with any of those details I may be able to find a few images online that depict how they're really supposed to look. And if there are any specks to be found, I would actually think that it's quite normal for each tablet to have a differentiating amount of these specks on their surface. That's just how some batches turn out; at least from what I've heard anyways. Were you given a different manufacturer's...

hello..i just want to ask. Im taken lady pills after my period up to 7 years proven and tested and now i want to change to althea is it ok if ill take althea pills after my period? ## Yes, you should be able to just do a smooth switch from one to the other, unless you've been told not to do so. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, spotting, and PMS-like symptoms. Are you on any other medications?

what is the difference between the 2 I know one is 10-325mb and the other 7.5-500mg ## Hydrocodone what is the difference between m367 (10-325 mg) and m358 (7.5-500 mg) ## That is the difference, just the dosage. One contains 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone and 500mgs of Acetaminophen, while the other contains 10mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. Different doses work better for different people, so they are several available. Learn more Vicodin 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 severe concerns about the dangers of liver damage and failure that can be associated with long-term ...

what is difference ip110 and Watson 853? ## Hello, Mary! How are you? The tablet with the IP 110 is manufactured by Amneal Pharmaceuticals, the other is by Watson Pharmaceuticals and they both list them as containing 10mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. Thus, the only difference is that they are manufactured by different companies, which is very common with generics. Several options are always available to create market competition and help keep prices as low as possible. 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? ## I have taken both and the Watson is better. I have a lot more bre...

I take generic Sinemet 25/100. What is the difference between Rytary and Sinemet, besides price? ## There is no different, both the CR and ER just designate them as being time released formulation of the medication, according to the NIH, otherwise, the active ingredients and the way they act in the body are the same. If one is too expensive, there is no harm in trying the cheaper versions, all are still approved by the FDA. The typical side effects of this medication are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, rash, hiccups, and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with?

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...

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.

Can anyone tell me the difference between percocet pills M & A. I'm about to b prescribed them by my Dr. But have heard horror stories of people ending up HOOKED! Is one of them better than the other to NOT get hooked please help quick so I can ask Dr. For one or other. Thank you all very much. ## All Percocet contains the active ingredients Oxycodone and Acetaminophen, so it all has the same habit forming potential, since the Oxycodone is a very potent narcotic. However, I am not sure by what you mean by the M & A pills? Could you please clarify?
