The next pill says 1102 and the other side has an imprint (which I can Barely read) 1993. The 2nd pill has imprint "V" and the other side says 26326 and is also yellow. (The orange and yellow are very similar in color.

Brief Answer:
This is unusual but not unique

Detailed Answer:
there are many generic manufacturers of lortab. I've heard about / seen the SZ, and yellow with a V.

The really unfortunate thing is while the amount of drug in the pill and how much total gets in are well-regulated by the FDA, how fast and how long it gets in / stays active is almost totally unregulated.

It is LIKELY that the onset and duration of pain relief will be different with each type.
