I know what this medication is: Hydrocodone Acetaminophen Bitartrate tablets, but I need to know the ingredients.

White, red speckled, and oval shaped. Watson on one side, 913 on the other. Doesn't Hydrocodone have codeine in it?

Thanks!

Watson913

Hi again, pixiedustt01.

Watson 913 contains 5 mg hydrocodone and 325 mg acetaminophen.  It does not contain codeine unless codeine is part of the chemical makeup of hydrocodone.

We need to wait for mitomac or someone else well versed in chemistry to answer the rest of your question.  All I know is that both hydrocodone and codeine are opioids (narcotics) and hydrocodone is approximately six times stronger than codeine (per the narcotic equivalency charts).

OK. Thank you very much! I

OK. Thank you very much! I didn't know that Hydrocodone was that much stronger than codeine. I thought that meds with Hydrocodone had codeine in it, but I could be wrong.  You seem to know alot about meds, I see all you'r answers to other questions.

Well Thanks again, I appreciate it.
