Are The Pills With Different Strengths Could Be Taken For Pains Along With Vicodin?

Yes, My Mom is in an assisted living now and takes Vicodin for a very bad back. Sometimes she gets a yellow pill that has 10-35 on it and sometimes she gets a yellow pill that has 36-01 on it . Are they the same pill and the same strength? She should be on a 10mg strength. Thank you

hi there
Vicodin as you mentioned contains 2 drugs- acetaminophen and hydrocodone.
These numbers seem to be related to the different dosiing of these 2 drugs.
Yes she can take different doses depending on the severity of her symptoms.
good luck
