found in back of drawer. Uncoated white, round pill about a quarter inch in diameter, slightly smaller than a dime. Its scored on the front with a F D split by a vertical line and numbers 553 on opposite side. I have no idea what these pills are..someone said the FD stands for Fort Dodge Animal Medical...I can't find it in any pill identification databases so I guess it makes sense if this is strictly animal medication. All help is greatly appreciated. Once again, pill imprints are FD on side 1, 553 on side 2 ## I was cleaning a rental house a found two white circular pills. I don't recall how big they were I just remember it was smaller than a dime. In thick black type it said E 55. The other side was blank.

My doctor has given me both etodolac extended-release and angispan tr 2.5mg tablets for pains in my left arm and ears. I want to know if I should take both together and whether it is safe? As I look at websites and it says not to, I'm concerned about taking the above together? What are the side effects if I do?

My boyfriend is convinced that he is having a reaction to Etodolac. He states that after taking one pill he became achy, flu like. Every joint seems to hurt and he is even complaining that his skin hurts. He is also taking 800 mg of Skelaxin and Nexnium. Prior to the Etodolac he was taking 800 mgs of Ibuprofen 4 x daily. Is this a side effect to any of these meds? I've looked up and can't find this on any info sheets. ## No, those are not common side effects, according to FDA reports. They typically include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, and stomach irritation. How is he doing, now? Has there been any change?

I've found out a great deal already by similar discussions on your site, however this Apotex pharmaceutical company seems to have a broad spectrum of prescriptions ranging in difference primarily by just a # and occasional change in color.. I have a large grey and white capsule labeled (APO) on the left/white side of capsule and followed on the left/grey side of capsule by the (#039) Please what is this treatment for and is there an easier way to find out about these more rare or new prescription medications because pill identifying websites couldn't recognize anything I'm talking about. Thank you for all you do. Keep up the good work!! ## There is an identifier on this site, where you can also find many of them listed. Other great sources are the FDA and NIH databases. As t...

If someone stops taking etodolac, can it result in severe weakness, fatigue, shakiness and tingling in the legs? ## Hello, Firetower! How are you? In theory, it shouldn't, because it's just a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. If someone has been taking it for awhile and suddenly stops, the withdrawal effects typically only include mild symptoms, such as rebound pain and rebound headache, according to the FDA. There's no way to be sure how anyone will react to stopping any given medication, so there is a possibility it's from stopping it, but not highly likely and should be checked out by your doctor to be sure.
