Taking Both Watson And Vicodin. What Is The Difference? Can I Continue Both The Pills?

Hi,I take the 7.5-750 Watson 383 is the ES for Vicodin. I've also been told that they will be doing away with thie strength in which case I would have to take 7.5-325 can you please tell me the difference between the two,I take the generic pill,the pill itself does not have ES on the back of the pill so does this mean it is not ES. I am totally confused.in regards to this issue.
Thank you

HI , WELCOME TO HEALTH CARE MAGIC.

THERE IS NO NEED TO WORRY. THE DRUG HAS TWO INGREDIENTS HYDROCODONE 7.5 MG AND ACETAMINOPHEN( PARACETAMOL) 325 MG. HYDROCODONE IS MORE ACTIVE COMPONENT AND ITS DOSE HAS NOT BEEN REDUCED .

YOU WILL NEARLY GET THE SAME CONTROL OF YOUR PAIN.
