Sometimes you’ll see that there’s a price difference between Vicodin pills, and that might be because of the generic vs regular Vicodin pricing.

The generic Vicodin is almost as the regular Vicodin, although the price is lower and there might be a small variance (5%) on the effect offered by each of them.

As an example:

Regular Vicodin (acetaminophen/hydrocodone)
Manufacturer: Abbott Laboratories DEA/FDA: Schedule III
Approximate Retail Price tablet: 5-500 mg (30 ea): $45.99

Regular Lortab (acetaminophen/hydrocodone)
Manufacturer: UCB Pharma, Inc. DEA/FDA: Schedule III
Approximate Retail Price tablet: 5-500 mg (30 ea): $40.65

Generic Vicodin (acetaminophen/hydrocodone)
Manufacturer: generic DEA/FDA: Schedule III
Approximate Retail Price tablet: 5-500 mg (30 ea): $11.99

As shown above, the generic one is cheaper because is a no-name one, just like with hardware you have retail and oem versions, with pills you have generic and regular Vicodin.
