My doc gives me 30 hydrocodone apap a month for fibro pain & spine related neuropathy. They 10/500mgs. I got my new script today but I went to a different pharmacy because the one I use had a 2 hour wait. I got hom and opened it up. Its is a totally different pill than the ones I usually get. The ones my usual pharmacy gives me have the letter M on it with three numbers. This one has IP 120 on them. I am allergic to ibprophen due to salicylate sensitivity. And I am really scared to take this pill. My pharmacist said it the same thing as they give me its just a different maker called Ameanda or somthin like that. But why does it have the IP on it like an ibprophen pill? I need to take my meds as my fibro is flaring and burning but I am scared too. Eberything I look at online says its hydrocodon apap but I cant get over the IP :-[ help please

Here is a web site that identifies a drug, if this doesn't help you, go talk to your pharm. person or at least call him/her and ask questions as to what the IP on the pill means.

http://www.drugs.com/imprints.php?ac...odone&start=10

Did you explain that you can't take IP?

http://www.drugs.com/imprints/ip-120-17007.html is this the pill you got? it is the 'same thing' as the hydrocodone apap with a M and three numbers accourding to this drug identifiyer. What are the 3 numbers on the pill you usually get?

If everything checks out that the medicine they gave you at a different location, know that you have done all you can and everyone else says it is safe,

"Know and believe that it is true" It is your mind going all anxious on you is my guess. But it sure is a good idea to ask again - maybe from your usual pharmasist.

Good luck. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
