What Is A U16 Pill

I filled my husband's rx and it was an oval white pill with the imprint u16 on one side and nothing on the other side, and he said he is still in pain; whereas his other script from last month was different and it helped. ## This medication is manufactured by Aurolife Pharma and they list it as containing 7.5mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, it is a generic for Percocet. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. How long has he been taking this one? Is he on any other medications?

It says U 16 on one side and nothing on the other. It doesn't seem to help with my pain. ## This tablet is manufactured by Aurolife Pharma and they list it as containing 7.5mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, it is a generic for Percocet. The FDA warns that 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? ## I had a script for oxycodone-acetaminophen 7.5-325. I received a white oval pill with U16 printed on one side. Is anyone familiar with this?

White Pill that says "U16" on one side and blank on the other. Looked it up and it says it should be an AuroBindo/AuroLife 7.5mg OxyCodone/325mg Acetem Pill, but the meds I got look different than the picture on google, they look more like a football and the picture on google looks more oval and rounded. Did the manufacturer change their own pill design? ## There is no way this did as much for my severe chrinic pain as a decent generic 7.5 percocet. But reportedly has same ingredients.did mire for moid and almost 0 for pain. ## @Johnathon, You're correct in that the pill should be a generic 7.5/325mg percocet, made by AuroBindo/AuroLife. I see what you're saying though concerning the pill shape being oblong (capsule-shaped) vs oval (football-shaped). Strangely enough, in...

This pill is more oval or football shaped and flatter. I can't find any picture of it. The U16 made by Aurolife pharma picture is nothing like this pill. ## Did you ever find out why that pill you had was football shaped and not oblong like in the picture of it? The u16? ## @Daisy, Have you considered contacting Aurolife directly, since their pill is the only relevant clue that pops up in search results? Here is their contact info for product inquiries - Email: [email protected] Phone number: 732-839-9400 (option 2) Drug manufacturers have been known to make changes to their product's physical appearance without any prior notice to the public/patients, so I just thought it might be worth looking into. Whereabouts did you find or obtain this pill? The idea that it could be for...

U15 white oval (football shaped or egg shaped). Blank on other side. This is a 7.5mg generic for Percocet. The 5mg ones are oblong and made from a different manufacturer. ## The U15 white oblong generic Percocet tablets actually correspond with the 5mg-325mg dosage; not the 7.5mg-325mg. For verification, this pill is made by Aurolife (Aurobindo) Pharma and carries a National Drug Code of 13107-044-01. The 7.5mg-325mg version is also made by Aurolife (Aurobindo) Pharma --- Aurolife Pharma LLC, is reportedly a part of Aurobindo according to the manufacturer's webpage. The 7.5mg-325mg has an imprint of U16 and carries a National Drug Code of 13107-045-01. Hope this helps clear up any confusion! ## Kroger dispensed me aurobindo manufactured 5mg oxycocdone generic for percocet. did absol...

I've contacted sam's club & various pharmacies before, concerning anxiety meds and fentanyl patches that don't even match the description and a new mystery percocet every month. I suffer ptsd / anxiety / panic. And I can dam sure tell in 10 minutes if it's junk or a rip off. Hospitals don't use generics. Wow!! Meds that work. While family and dr's write you off as a dope head & your suffering when you shouldn't be. They blame tolerance issues, claim generics are exactly the same and know it's a lie. Who will listen to our complaints? It's cruelty and fraud. ## Under the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984, generics are allowed to differ from the name brand by as much as plus, or minus 20% of the active ingredient, and they do not have to measure against ...

I wrote asking if it was a regular release pill. It took me several times writing to them to get a kind of answer.... they said it was not extended release but they didnt know much about the pills as far as breaking, chewing and crushing. I asked them because i have dysphagia and cant swallow that big pill. I asked why they wouldnt recommend breaking or chewing this pill and they said they just didnt have that info. If they dont, who does? They abosulutely baffled me with their inability to give a clear and firm answer. i have been breaking them into quarters so i can swallow them easier. I get a headache but that seems to be all. ## Hello, Neko! How are you?

White big oval pill with u16 on one side blank an other ## Hello, Little bitt! How are you? This tablet is manufactured by Aurolife Pharma and they list it as containing 7.5mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. 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?

This pill does not help with pain management and riteaid does not stand for the customer. Too bad for me. ## A white oval pill marked with U16 on one side and blank on the other reportedly contains a combination of Acetaminophen (325 mg) + Oxycodone HCL (7.5 mg), made by Aurolife Pharmaceuticals. This pill also contains the following set of inactive ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide + croscarmellose sodium + crospovidone + magnesium stearate + microcrystalline cellulose + povidone + corn starch + stearic acid If some other manufacturer's version works better for you, it may be a good idea to take note of each inactive ingredient so you can better determine what it is that might be causing this lack of efficacy that's not apparent with other brands/generics. With this in min...

Think I got the wrong meds from the drugstore. It's a white oval pill and has U 16 on one side and smooth on the other. Does not look like my pain med. ## This tablet is manufactured by Aurolife Pharma and they list it as containing 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. 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.

Are these pills legit? I think they're extremely low in oxycodone if not completely void of it. I also noticed the label on the bottle left the "e" off of oxycodone. Never saw that on any script i ever had. Whatever is going on these pills are garbage ## They are garbage and the tylenol in them is so bad for your liver. why don't you ask your doctor for oxycodone 10 mlg with no acetaminophen in them. ## This tablet is manufactured by Aurolife Pharma and they list it as containing 7.5mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, so it is a generic for Percocet. However, not every medication, name brand, or generic works for everyone that tries it. The FDA warns the Oxycodone carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, hea...

I'm trying to identify a white oval shaped pill with U16 on one side and blank on the other side. Plus one white pill with 114 on one side and H on the other side. ## The tablet with the U16 marking is manufactured by Aurolife Pharma and they state that it contains 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen (NDC 13107-045). The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, and headache. The tablet with the H 114 marking is manufactured by Camber Pharmaceuticals and they state that it contains 500mgs of Methocarbamol (NDC 31722-533), which is a muscle relaxant that is used to the pain associated with muscle strains, sprains, and spasms. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, dry mou...

Can your please tell me the difference between: U169 and R180 I was taking U169 but when I got my new medicine I noticed the shape was different and the number on the new pill had R180. Can you please tell me the difference between the two before I take the R180. Thank you. ## Hello, Kathy! How are you? They both contain 4mgs of the muscle relaxant Tizanidine, they have just been manufactured by different pharmaceutical companies, which is very normal with generics. At any given time, the one a pharmacy carries may change, depending on who was offering the cheapest price, when they needed to restock their supply. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have a 7.5mg oxycodone with acetaminophen (U16 on the pill). I need to know if I can cut this in half? I have looked everywhere to see if it is IR or XR and cant find a thing. ## It's IR, and yes it can be cut in half ## thanks ash, I appreciate the response. Usually well it seems they used to say if the pill was immediate release or timed release. I looked everywhere but i hoped that somebody out there takes it. Now I can take 1/2 when i am not in too much pain. ## No problem i had them a few times. Not my favorite. Actually fought with riteaid - they didnt work to well for me, however, they took over watson brand ## Well I hope that is not a problem for me but i have one friend that agrees with you. I am just being changed from 5 mg to these 7.5 ones. I havent used them yet. I k...

Wife received a new pill made by this company as a sub for her usual oxycodon-acetaminophen 7.5-325, white football shaped small pill with the ID U16 on one side and the other blank, The pills seem to have no real relief of pain compared to the other made by Mylan, they are either much weaker or out right rip offs, have contacted RiteAid who just started using these things to see what they say. If it is going to be this way, she will have to change to the more expensive regular Percocet, cost more, but always work. What are the drug manufacturers up to now they increase prices but lower quality and pain relief. They are screwing with the wrong people, people in real pain need relief and do not and will not tolerate silly crap from anyone. Everyone can be tracked down using the internet ...
