Watson 853 - Is It Norco 10/325? (Page 2)

Updated

I got a prescription for generic norco and it has watson 853 imprinted on it. I was wondering if I am getting the correct medication or if I am being ripped off at this pharmacy? It is yellow.

In response to the norco 5 being changed to the 10/325. The 5/325 is smaller because it has more acetaminophen, 500 mg ,compared to the 325 mg. in the smaller pill. The 5mg difference in the hydrocodone would be hard to distinguish by pill size alone.

The 10/325 has 5 more mgs of Codiene and less Tylenol. There is a pill that has even less Tylenol but I'm not sure if it has more codiene or not. It's expensive. Forgot the name and it's hard to find I think.

This is the correct answer to your question. Watson labs make the name brand "NORCO". They produce a generic hydrocodone product also. The 10/325 yellow tab. Qualitest also makes a yellow generic tab 10/325. After 30 years of use I still cannot say which I prefer. They are both excellent.

I take hydros & nucynta, occasionally tramoldol if nothing else is available for major back pain. The trams are 50 mg and I have to take 4 at a time just to get any form of relief. I take the regular dose of the others and it works great.

they do that in the states because people with private insurance get, and their insurance cxompanies get over charged for, the name brands. the insured dont notice because they have a low copay. the generic, although it is the same exact thing, is marketed to the millions of uninsured cash patients at a slightly lower price. that way the poor stay happy and out of pain, rich people get their name brands cheap, and the insurance companies rape everyone, so they never really lose. but the biggest winner is watson, who sells to every market.thats why they do it.

there is no codiene in norco..it is hydrocodone--norco is a combination of tylenol (acetaminophen) and hydrocodone..this equals Vicoden..so 10/325 would be 10 mg of hydrocodone and 325 of acetaminophen, 5/500 would be 5mg of hydrocone and 500 mg acetam. 10/325 would be smaller because less acetam.

Very insightful and cool of you to point this out. I hope you're a proponent of universal healthcare, because it's BIG BUSINESS that will be shut out by GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION....all pills will have one name, one price, and America(ns) will save a s*** ton of money.

All you people are WAY WAY too interested in pharmaceuticals with high abuse/addictive potential!!
Ever ask yourself why you are not so interested in say gout meds------could it be that you are addicts???

Universal Health Care is the only way to go!!! Everyone else already has it!! We are all currently slaves to BIG BIZ and our politicians are owned by them. All Americans will never be healthy till we throw out the lobbyists (bribery) and have our pols answer only to us. Ever wonder why only VERY expensive meds are all over TV! Big Pharma wants your money and your addiction---not for you to be healthy..

I was on 10/500 hydrocodone after an accident from a big truck that hit me head on front end in a geo storm the bottle said lora-something and Xanax and soma. Why the Xanax? Then I told my attorney that these docs bite, so I switched to my family doctor, and he told me they give you that cause of the insurance claim. Well he took me off all, and gave me 10-750 oxycodone, and 50 mg morphine, and Valium no more soma. Which he did not like to prescribe that, said Valium was much better, the were blue or green. I tell you this, the morphine last all day, then made you stopped up from the bathroom both ways, and the oxycodone, made me want to like everything I did, everything on tv was awesome, and I never watched regular tv shows until those oxy things. And would sit on my PC for hours and hours, sometimes a whole night and had crazy dreams from something. Then after major surgery, he upped the amount of everything, like 18-24 pills a day of the three meds, without including the vitamins, I then recovered well and found out this stuff is so addictive, he gradually took me off of them, when he said time to stop, I could not sleep, eat and thew up for about a month, but started to eat and in no pain but kept wanting the RX drugs. So be warned, just take Tylenol, RX drugs almost killed me more than the accident.

No you sell them, not me, you fill them by doctors orders and do not warn you of addiction, so you need to keep quiet. I found out the hard way. And no, I don't think anyone here would post if they are doing illegal things... Hope you go out of business just cause of what you said, read my post.... And you will understand my position, when I was in pain at an 8-10, after an oxycodone and a Valium and the morphine my pain went to 2-5, depending on what I was doing, yes it was mood altering but heck the helped me in the need of pain, major pain, right now my back hurts typing at a level of 5 and Tylenol brings it down to, with a Valium which I am taking for anxiety due to fear and stress, it drops to a 3. So you shutup, cause if I ever hurt again, I well take oxycodone and morphine again but only at a level of 8-10.period!!!
