What are round white tablets imprinted P-D 679, labeled "APC"? Presume they're obsolete Parke-Davis something with aspirin or acetaminophen.

I have tried several searches for this, but can't find any information on it, however, if it was an over the counter product, those imprints aren't required to be listed with the FDA and finding information on something that is no longer manufactured makes it even more difficult.

Where they found in the U.S or elsewhere? That may help to narrow it down.

Thank you. I've done multiple searches and also found nothing specific for that tablet. I've asked 2 pharmacists (both younger than 40) who couldn't figure it out. I started looking for aspirin combo drugs and found an obsolete aspirin-phenacetin-caffeine product (APC), not specifically Parke-Davis. I feel sure this is what they are and probably a pharmacist nearing retirement would remember, or a late-70's PDR. Phenacetin was pulled in the early '80's and pretty much replaced with acetaminophen. In any case, they're destined for the cat litter for disposal.

aspirin, phenacetin, and caffeine. These were used effectively for headaches. When adding a little codeine (1/4gr) they are about the best painkiller for short term use.
