Question i have chronic kidney stones ,i pass at least one stone a month, i have been prescribed hydrocodone 10/500 generic lortab watson brand blue in color i also get,lortab 10 pink pills is there a difference between the two and sometimes i get percocet 10/500 and why not vicodone is it better than all of them
Answer Hi Steve,
Loratab, ercocet and vicodine are all similar products, they all contain acetaminophen and a codiene derivative. If compared there is not much difference between the products and one can be used in place of the other. Yet if you prefer one over the other, I would sugest you talk to your doctor, though again in my opinion there are not many differences between the products.
