Mystery Pill!!! From U.s.? Mexico? Idk, Please Help!

A friend recently found a pill at her house that she asked me to help her identify. I have checked through my pharmaceutical "Drug Handbook," looked all over the net, and spoke with a pharmacist, all with no luck. The pharmacist said that there database showed no such pill or anything close. Weird huh? The pill is a SOLID WHITE TABLET, it seems to have a slight wax coating (not powdery), & deeply scored on both sides. The shape is oblong or rectangle with rounded edges, much like a Lortab. The ONLY inscription is 1 2 on the front (numbers separated by the score), and nothing on the back. I've never been unable to identify a medication before, so I am thinking it may be from Mexico or somewhere else. She has children and is concerned, and now it's bugging the heck out of me, so I would greatly appreciate your help!!

That marking is actually meant to be a capital i and the number 2 and this is an over the counter tablet that contains 200mgs of Ibuprofen, it is a generic or store brand of Advil or Motrin. It's sold in many stores throughout the U.S., but since it's over the counter, it wouldn't be in any prescription databases.

There are actually 4 version of this tablet that use the same imprint, one is this shape and white, one this shape and orange, then another round and white and another that's round and orange.

You can learn more Ibuprofen details here.

So no, it's not anything foreign and/or strange. :-)

Is there anything else I can help with?
