Got some from an OP and they are white oblong with 44 175 on one side. I thought they were small and yellow.
Please help me figure this out!

I just checked Rxlist.com & the results for that particular imprint are straight acetaminophen 500 mg., no hydrocodone, made by LNK.
Watson 10/325s are oval yellow caplets with "Watson" imprinted on one side.

"Watson 853" is embossed on the side that isn't scored. Except for the labeling, they look identical to a "Norco 539."

Well I looked it up to - LovePink is right -
Generic 500mg Tylenol (extra strength Tylenol)
No opioid included. 
THis wasn't from a U.S based pharmacy was it??
I would imagine it was probably an international OP?
If it WAS a U.S pharmacy - please let everyone know where they came from. That is really messed up! Actually, I'd like to know who is selling generic Tylenol as Hydrocodone, whether it is international OR domestic...
That's just screwy. Sorry that happened.

Believe it or not this is from NWW. This is not like them. This is a very big mistake. St Peters filled it.
From what I understand, These OPs cant resend due to laws. I might be looking at a charge back at best and hopefully a discount on on the consult since I will only get 2 refills.
If anyone has any experience with what normally happens in this situation with a good provider...PLEASE let me know.
Thanks
Brutus
P.S. I guess I'll be using that phone # LovePink put out for NWW the other day to good use...Thanks PINK

Dang, that's a rather big mistake... And you are right, that's not like St Peters - not sending out a completely wrong medication at least... That is definitely unacceptable. I don't know how St. Peters would handle this - my guess is that every pharmacy would handle it a little bit differently... But I HAVE seen reports of at least a few people that have received incorrect medications (and in their cases it was usually right product/wrong strength or something like that - this is much worse!) and have seen a couple reports of people being able to get re-sends, if they agreed to send the other medications back. Not to be re-used (I would hope! That would not only be illegal but unethical too) - but I guess just so the pharmacy would know that they weren't trying to get extra meds.
I don't know- I would surely follow up on it though, as I am sure you will. That's an enormously strange mistake. Not to accuse St. peters or their employees of anything, but it seems a little odd to fill with plain tylenol as a mistake to me. Wrong strength or brand or count is one thing - but a completely non-opioid med?? It seems like someone would HAVE to notice that. Like I said I am in no position to make accusations, but it surely at least makes you *wonder* a little if they don't have an opioid-happy employee on their hands, doesn't it?

Thank you Trampy - I have the flu & was too tired to look up the exact imprint - I just knew they were yellow, oval, & had Watson imprinted somewhere on them. Thanks for filling in the rest.

You were exactly right. She was exelent. She fixed it in 2 minutes with a call to the Pharm. while I was on the line.
I will send them back for disposal and they will reship and reimberse me for my overnite mailing expences.
Bad mistake, Great Company 
Thanks for all the good advise that was posted and PMed to me. This really is an Awsome board and group of people here.

Well..
St Peters took a turn for the worst in a BAD way.
I called to ensure thae got my meds back.
They said they did , They dont carry that type of Tylenol, Then accused me of switching the product. I told them that I'm sincere when I say this is the way I got them and we at DB think this is a very serious problem.
He said " DrugBuyers.com is no threat to us and we will not tolerate this"....I take it that using the DB name is precieved as a threat to them.
He went on to say that if I pushed any further that they would black list me so I can't get my scripts anywhere...Then hung up on me!!
I called back ,calmed them down to focus on solving the problem and Blah, Blah Blah...
Loooong Story-Short, I called NWW and explained what they said ( to their dismay  )along with the fact that I wrote an afidavit letter that I signed and Faxed about the truth of this matter to St Peters.
NWW had it resolved in minutes by pulling the whole thing from St peters and renewed the Dr.s orders with Biwise 
They are so good to work with. They are totally commited to doing the right thing and customer satisfaction. You could tell they really want to help you.
MY ADVISE for DB MEMBERS is to ask for Biwise when you talk to the Dr. so you don't have to deal with a company that shows their true colors by threats and resenting DB members identifying themselves.
