“Hydro” likely refers to hydrocodone. “Yellow Watson” refers to the color and the manufacturer (Watson Pharmaceuticals, now Allergan). The “Generic” indicates it’s a generic version of a hydrocodone-containing product. The “10mg” indicates 10mg of hydrocodone hydrochloride per tablet. This is also a combination opioid analgesic, likely with acetaminophen or another non-opioid pain reliever.
Health Benefits: Similar to Hydro M367, this medication is used to relieve moderate to moderately severe pain due to the hydrocodone component. The additional ingredient (likely acetaminophen) also helps with pain relief and can reduce fever if present.
Dosage: The usual adult dosage is typically one tablet every 4 to 6 hours as needed for pain. The total daily dose should not exceed the limits for hydrocodone and the accompanying non-opioid ingredient (e.g., acetaminophen). Always follow your doctor’s specific instructions.
Precautions: As with other hydrocodone-containing medications, be aware of potential drowsiness, dizziness, and the risks of dependence, abuse, and respiratory depression. Avoid alcohol and other CNS depressants. Pay attention to the precautions related to the non-opioid component (e.g., liver damage with excessive acetaminophen). Inform your doctor of all medications you are taking.
