 i take 4 to 5 of these a day since I had my second back surgery after they had done the fusion and put 2 steel plates and six screws in my low back L5 i think ....and it hurts every day from my low back down to my legs. the question is do they make a Lorcet 10 with less Teynol in it and does it work as well as the Lorcet 10 and what Do they call it?

V3592

I think the picture is the front of a V 3592 which is 5 mg hydrocodone and 500 mg acetaminophen (generic Vicodin).

Brand name Lorcet 10 has a lot of acetaminophen in it. It's 10 mg hydrocodone and 650 mg APAP.

I don't know if they work better, but maybe ask your medical professional if you can try Norco 10 which is 10 mg hydrocodone and 325 mg APAP (there are at least three generics).  Or maybe generic Vicoprofen (7.5 mg hydrocodone and 200 mg ibuprofen) - it's better for inflammation problems but should be avoided right after surgery because it can cause gastro bleeding like aspirin.

If you can afford a brand name, Xodol is new and contains even less acetaminophen (10 mg hydrocodone, 300 mg APAP).  But since it's a new formulation it's probably expensive.

Lorcet 15

No, there is no such thing as a mass-produced Lorcet 15.  I suppose a compounding pharmacy could make one, but the pharmaceutical companies don't make any hydrocodone combos with more than 10 mg hydrocodone.

Z 4097 20

It would be better if you started your own post instead of adding it to a previous thread.  We might not see your post, and you won't ever get a reply

Z 4097 20 is 20 mg baclofen, a muscle relaxant.  You can find an image of your pill at Ivax Pharmaceuticals.

No Lorcet 15.

No, there is no such drug. The highest amount of hydrocodone in a tablet is 10mg. (Don't we all wish they had 15's!!!!)

Too much tylenol!!!!

Ask your doctor for Norco 5/350? I think, it only has 350mg (I think) of tylenol. It also has a cheaper generic equivilent. They also make a drug with no generic called Xodol, it has 300mg of tylenol, and is very expensive. I submitted a picture of Xodol that can be viewed in the Hydrocodone image gallery. I hope this helped. Too much Tylenol can destroy your liver. The maximum amount allowed daily for adults is 4 grams, or 4000 milligrams. Watson Pharma also has a new Hydrocodone drug with 200mg of Ibuprofen, and 5mg of Hydrocodone.

Oxycodone-APAP 7.5MG/325

Try asking your doctor for a switch to oxycodone 7.5MG with 325MG of of Tylenol. The switch to the oxycodone is a better pain reliever, but not to strong, also this allows you to lower your tylenol intake and your liver will thank you for that.

   GOOD LUCK
