Is a Watson 3202 white with pink specks stronger than a vicodin or the same as a norco?

Yeah, you're not going to get scripts for Percocet and Vicodin from the same doctor. Good idea: Be honest on here. The truth will set you free. Note: The Percocet and Hydrocodone has the Tylenol in it which is damaging to the liver if used in excess or with alcohol. If your liver dies, then you die. Just a thought to consider.

No, " Norco " isn't a brand.
Watson Pharmaceuticals ( now Actavis inc. ) owns the patent / Trademark for what would be defined as a "Real" NORCO. Thats why Physicians write " Generic for Norco in some cases. " Norco " is just a moniker- a nickname, basically just instead of the medication's scientific name.
For example : " Percocet " is Oxycodone/acetaminophen, " Xanax " is Alprazolam, " Soma " is Carisoprodol, " Adderall " is Dextroamphetamine Salt, ETC... Qualitest, Amneal , Watson, and Mallickrodt are all pharmaceutical companies that produce Hydrocodone. Personally I think Hydrocodone with the IP 110 imprint which are (10-325 mg produced by amneal pharmaceuticals ) are the most effective.

5mg of any hydrocodone is the same. Norco has the same amount. There is no difference.

To Gowens71: Sorry about all ur pain. Kno'g moto-x is a hazardous sport. BUT it does sound like u r Dr & pharmacy hopp'g! Bet u pass out/sell ur meds to fellow riders also.They all do. Keep braggin, they're watchin & listen'g dude!

This is to beeper72, there is no approved manufactured hydrocodone that has only hydrocodone in the US. Norco has tylenol in it too. And yes I have received oxycodone and hydrocodone from the same Dr. at he same. The orders were if I considered my pain to be above an 8 I was to take the hydrocodone, any higher take the oxy (percocet)

Norco is a lortab without the Tylenol I know this to be a fact because I just got out of the hospital yesterday and that's what they were giving me and I ask them what they were and they said hydrocodone which is lortab without the Tylenol

What mg is your vicodin?
My doctor had me in 7.5 and Saud they don't make 10mg in it
So she put me on Norco 10mg
I liked the vicodin better seemed like no tummy issues
I take for bad back injury due to a bad car crash
Any advice?

Okay... Norco is Vicodin without the high tylenol content. For example: Vicodin 5mg has 500mg of tylenol tylenol whereas Norco 5mg has 325mg of tylenol. One can take an additional tylenol for an added increase to the effectiveness of a Norco tablet. Please be aware that there are limits as to how much tylenol can be taken daily before causing damage to your liver.

Ive studied internal medicine for about 10 yrs and vicodin norco lortab and hydrocodone r all the same thing just different mg of Tylenol and yes you can have different scripts like you are saying as long as its through pain management they are the only ones that can write for as many narcotics as they see fit hope this helps a lil

@beeper72 I have a broken back and get prescribed MULTIPLE DIFFERENT intensitys of pill vicoden, percocet, and both the oxys.

Actually beeper72 Norco is a hydro with 325mg of Tylenol in it. This is something we commonly give to the patients in the hospital I work in.

Norco has tylenol in it also. And NO physician will prescribe you four of the same drug in different milligrams. I have a BSRN all of them now. Vicoden loratab and norco are all 325 mil tylenol. Loratab used to have 500mg tylenol thats now illegal.

Im sorry but a regular physician will not prescribe pain medication but to the comment that a dr will not prescribe more than one pain medication at a time your wrong a pain specialist can and will prescribe more then one pain medication including also a nerve medication for nerve pain so if u work the field of medicine you should know this

Too anyone who takes Norco 10mg, it it Does have tylenol. If u look at your bottle it has a dash 325. The 325 is the MG of the amount of tylenol. They all have tylenol the difference is that the 5mg has the same amount of tylenol but different amount of hydrocodone. It's better than taking 2 Norco when needed because it will contain more tylenol. The 325 x 2. I'm 100% certain because for a while I was not to have too much tylenol in my system.
And yes it is generic.

They stopped giving out vicodin because it has alot of Tylenol in it. Loratab is actually stronger then vicodin. The reason why your experiencing that is because the norcos 5/325 with pink specks are time released. So your not going to feel it right away and may need to take extra for it to work. Norco is thr name of the drug..watson is the manufacturer.

Narco have Tylenol in them I was prescribed for years I was recently prescribed a Nother prescription for Norco 5/325 and i received 3202 v from the pharmacy which is 5/325 hydrocodone they're all the same thing just different brands when you receive something from your doctor type the number found on the pill into Google and it will tell you what it is

It's kind of sad all of you judging this guy and telling him that he wouldn't be able to get 2 scripts from the same doc etc. You don't know his pain or his situation and I'm sure none of you have a PHD or pharmacy degree lol. What I will say is you're wrong about that! I know about 5 people right now w injuries that get scripts much more heavy duty than this and yes get more than one. understand how medications work and the persons problems before you go leaving irrelevant comments! The question here was about the drug, not for you to be judging others! Geez people! People can't ever leave a comment on here trying to help someone else without a few wanting to judge! Get a life and worry about yourself. This man has no reason to lie and until you've walked in his shoes butt out!

The only difference between Norco and Vicodin is the dosage of Tylenol... Norco is 5/325 and Vicodin was 5/500 Vicodin is no longer made because of the severity of the side effects now known from Tylenol

You are wrong I have been prescribed 2 different strengths of Vicodin 7.5mg & 10mg... the 10mg was prescribed for breakthrough pain

Please do not believe anything the person said after they told you Norco is just like Vicodin but without all the Tylenol. That is so untrue. Vicodin Norco and Lortab are all the same thing just different brand names. The pink specks do not make it time release either. You are getting 5 mg of hydrocodone and 325 MMG of acetaminophen or Tylenol in each pill. The rest of them work exactly the same and have exactly the same ingredients unless you get one that comes in a higher dose. This is a great website for information but you have to be careful because once in awhile you get a total moron who tells you something completely false. That's what happened here. This post might be a million years old because I didn't look but I was Googling something else and this came up. I don't want it to come up for anyone else and for them to believe what this asshat had to say LOL. Everything you thought is right on point. Ignore these dumb shits that have no clue what their talking about.

You don't know what you are talking about Vicodin Loratab and Norco are all HYDROCODONE kiddo... And your doc should not be prescribing all those drugs to you that makes no sense at all.

Think maybe there just from two different companies. And Watson makes the 5mg hydrocodean and theone is ovel and has the rthe specks.

In theory there both the same strength, they are both 5mg vicodin is a ovel shaped pill also.and is solid white with the number 357 on one side. Some people say one or the other is the better one.

Let me try and end your debate. Vicodin contains 5mg hydrocodone with 500mg acetaminophen (a.k.a. tylenol). Norco contains 5mg hydrocodone with 325 mg acetaminophen. Both Vicodin and Norco are brand names whose manufacturer once held their patent. A generic manufacturer like Watson retails these drugs cheaper once the patent has expired. There is no difference in strength or quality from one manufacturer to another be they brand name or generic. The only difference between Vicodin and Norco is the acetaminophen content. Both have the same effect.

Thank you superbinky I was glad to see that someone gave the correct answer it only took 2+ years I am a pharmacy tech and I give people the truth and try my hardest to explain that Vicodin, lortab, and norco are all the same drug as in all have hydrocodone just different Tylenol but people just don't wAnt to hear it lol

Different manufactured meds work differently on different people even if they are the same mg. White with pink or turquoise speckles used to be known as robin eggs. Yes the same mg but there are slight variations from manufacturer to manufacturer.

Ok I am a nationally certified pharmacy tech,,, my mother is also a pharmacy tech and works in a long term care facility pharmacy in the control room,,That actual answer is Norco, Lortab and Vicodin are all brand names of Hydrocodone,,, they are the same thing,,it does not matter how much Tylenol (Acetaminophen) in them,,, they are all the same thing doesn't matter how much Tylenol is in them. About 5 years ago they changed the amount of Tylenol they have in them,,There is no such thing as a 5/500 anymore, They do not make any mg with 500 mg of Tylenol anymore at all because it was exceeding the limit of Tylenol that you are allowed to have per day and it is hard on the liver and the Tylenol boosts the effects of the Hydrocodone,,Try it if you don't believe me and look up the rules about the 500mg in the pills,,I promise you this is the correct answer,,You will not find a 5/500 made in the last few years.

I didn't realize that. Does this mean that Vicodin HP (10/650) and Vicodin ES (7.5/750) are no longer made? With the HP's conversion would be simple, as it's equivalent to two "Norco" 5/325's, but you could not get an exact equivalent to an ES.

I always thought that Norco was 10 mg hydrocodone and 325 mg acetaminophen but it seems that if it has hydrocodone and 325 mg of acetaminophen then it technically can be called Norco
