White vs Blue

Good evening ,

I have tried to research this on my own with no luck, so I hope someone can help. I have chronic shingles and have tried many pain medications nothing really worked but what I have settled on over the years is loratab 10 , this I went to fill my monthly prescription and instead of my normal blue oval shaped pills they gave me white oblong pills. I didn't notice this untill I got home so I called Walgreens and they said it was the same medication but that Waston just took out the dye in the pill so it's white now. I would have been ok with that but they don't seem to work at all like my old ones, can someone please shed some light on this regarding any information at all on this . With me having severe pain my medication no working is not an option . Thanks

Hi I'm not sure I have never been given anything but the blue pills, and they worked ok, much better then what I was given this morning , but if there is no difference then maybe it's just me .

If you do a google image search for Watson lortab 10-500 white vs blue, both labels will come up. They always have to be changing stuff, don't they?
