Can I open up the capsule and put it directly on the infected gum? Pain from my wisdom tooth. Caused gum infection doc gave me a amox.500mg first day on it and I'm in s serious pain my neck ear and head can sleep loss appetite. ## Hello, Dinky! How are you? I'm sorry about the infection, those can be really painful! This is not a pain reliever, it is an antibiotic, so no, that won't do anything. You need to swallow the capsules, as directed. Side effects to this medication may include dizziness, drowsiness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. To know if they're working, the general rule with antibiotics is that you shouldn't see any worsening of your condition, after taking them for a full 24 hours and you should start to see improvement after taking them for a full...

I've heard red and white capsules no imprint are 30 mg roxicodones? ## Honestly, it would largely depend on the country of origin of the pill. Reason being is that U.S. law requires all prescription drugs to have some sort of marking or imprint on the tablet to identify the substance and dosage. Without that, it could literally be anything from a dietary supplement, OTC med, illicit drug, or even something foreign. Whereabouts did you find it? ## I bought what was supposed to be a dietary supplement called Garcia Cambogia, but when I got it in the mail, it had no seal, and the bottle was so full when I opened it, the pills were popping out. I looked up the description of what they were supposed to be & it's nothing like these. I opened 1 of the capsules & it has an off w...

this was half red and half brown, when I broke the capsule open it smelt herbal no numbers or other marks were on the pill ## If there are no markings, then it will be impossible to positively identify, unless you would pay to have it lab tested. It could, however, be Valerian root, as it does have a strong, herbal smell to it, but there is no way we can be certain of it. It could be any one of a large number of foreign medications or over the counter items. Where was it found?

Hi, Can I open the Ritalin LA 20mg capsule and dissolve the little white balls in hot chocolate or coffee? My son just can't swallow the capsule. Your help would be much appreciated. Please reply. {edited for privacy}. ## Hello, Shelly! How are you? No, you can't dissolve them, because the LA means that this is a time released medication and doing so could cause him to get too much at once, which may result in a dangerous overdose. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, weight loss and insomnia. However, the medication guide does say that they can be sprinkled over something such as apple sauce and swallowed that way, so that should be fine, if his doctor approves. Is there anyth...

So I've been lurking around here for a while when I saw someone say fruta planta contained 18 mg of sibutramine. Now I looked up what the highest dosage a doctor could give a patient and apparently, it only goes up to 15 mg. That kinda freaked me out since I've already bought the pills and I'm still desperate to shed some pounds. Then I remembered how as a kid, my mom would tear open capsules that I have a tough time swallowing and just mix it with yogurt. Can't I just do the same and pour half the contents of the pill into yogurt or something? Will it cause any side affects? Cause worst case scenario, nothing happens and I still get hungry. ## Sibutramine is dangerous in any amount. It was pulled from the market in the U.S., Canada and most other countries back in 2010 ...

Hello, I found these very strange clear tiny glass capsules with white powder in them, and I can't identify what it is. Here's what I do know: the capsules have numbers on them, and the only other marking is on the black cap that has a little heart rate symbol on it. They come in around a 12 pack with just a white container, no name, markings, or anything. It's very similar to what BIO-tropin, the steroid thats injected, comes in. However, the white powdery substance on the inside is almost stuck together; if i try flipping the capsule over the powder doesnt fall to the bottom, which is different than the BIO-tropin which is a loose consistency. The last piece of info is that the bottle appears to not be able to open, like BIO-tropin, where it has an area under the cap to stick

What is in a medicine capsule which is white on one end and yellow on the other, with a circular red stripe in the middle, separating the two halves? There are no letters or numbers, and it's maybe 3/4 of an inch long. ## Hi, Tom! Where did you find it? Since there are no markings on it, we can rule it out as being a U.S. prescription medication, since they are required to have imprints on them to enable their identification and compounding pharmacies use plain capsules, not multicolored like this. That means that it is most likely something that's available over the counter and the leaves it open to a large number of possibilities. And that is the reason I asked where you found it, some products are regional, so knowing the general location may help to narrow it down. Does anyo...

I found black and clear capsules in my closet and my brother has his stuff stored in there. They were already opened and empty. I can't find any writing on it and I can't find anything online that resembles them. He is currently a recovering addict and it's kind of an emergency situation. Please help!

I found black capcels of my husbands when I opened it there was black powder inside I flushed powder down toilet and it became like a long piece of black string ## Hi mandie, Due to the nature of the capsule, I don't believe you have a prescription medication. In the U.S., all prescription medications are required to have an imprint for identification purposes. Unless your husband takes medication that you don't know of, this capsule is likely to be one of the following: diet, energy, herbal, vitamin. Otherwise it could be illicit or foreign. I recommend that you share your concerns with your husband and ask him if he knows anything about the capsules. Do you have any more questions?

this needs to fit over prozac 20 mg for safe swallowing by a patient with an active gag reflex. if the proxac isn't covered and opens enroute, she burn her vocal chords. ## NEEDED - A CLEAR CAPSULE TO FIT OVER A PROZAC 20 mg AND PREVENT IT FROM OPENING DURING SWALLOWING ## I'm sorry, this site does not manufacture nor sell any products. this is an information only website. Have you tried speaking to her doctor or pharmacist for alternatives? Prozac is available in 20mg capsules, so her doctor may need to specifically write the prescription that way, or you may have to request them from the pharmacy, instead of tablets.

Please identify. Blue and white capsule with only marks on the white half of the capsule. Looks sort of like this > u < but the "u" is smaller. ## DId you ever find anything out about this? I've tried looking at various manufacturers logos, but haven't found anything that matches this. Does anyone else recognize this? ## I know what they are! They have little notes inside them. My son got some as a gift and i was all freaked out until he opened them up and showed me the notes his girlfriend had written and placed inside each ome. Super cute, just scary. ## They are laxatives that are instituted through the anal cavity, very fun, try it

OME 20 white capsule with little whiteish cream colored small beads in it. What is it used for? ## I believe I located your white capsule to be Omeprazole (20 mg). Omeprazole is used in the treatment of dyspepsia, peptic ulcer disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. For more information about this drug, please refer to the link below...

Does this capsule contain any non-veg ingredient and if not, then why red mark is there in its wrapper? What is the veg alternative for this capsule? ## Still looking answer for this question, Can anyone atleast Sun Pharma, the manufacturer respond ? ## I used to take the old I-site capsules and it used to have green (veg) dot on it. Then people found out the capsule itself was made of gelatin (non-veg) material. I'm not sure what the non-veg ingredients exactly are but the gelatin container is surely non-veg, hence they stopped putting green dot on it. If that is the only non-veg component, it may be possible to simple cut it open and take out the ingredients, and throw away the container-capsule. However some vitamins and minerals inside may also be non-veg in origin. The best alt...

I opened 3 vitamin C capsules. Squeezed them into a little dish, with a probiotic emptied into the mixture as well. Had a breakout between my jaw/chin area due to 'that time of the month' .... will let you know how it goes! ## Hi Ashley, I've also heard that starting your menstrual cycle can cause acne around the chin/jaw area. So if you had a breakout it may not have been associated with the vitamin C capsules at all. I don't know if that's what you were getting at and were concerned by it, but thought I'd mention it anyways. However, regarding your query on "how to use vitamin c capsules", the typical method of administration is to simply take them orally as the directions state. But I do know you can also empty them into water a chug it take way too. I...

i just found this pill, it is like a cream color capsule (the kind that opens up) with absolutely no identifying information on it ## Hmmm, this would be difficult if not impossible to identify without actually performing a lab analysis. Prescription drugs in the U.S. are all regulated by the FDA, and are required to have unique imprint codes on them. This ensures that no two meds can get confused. Having a capsule with no markings on it indicates one of the following possibilities: - Over the counter med - Foreign country med - illegal substance - the letters or numbers on it somehow faded or disappeared over time Sorry I can't provide a more conclusive response. Please understand that it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack without any definitive markings. Like I menti...

Is Evion Veg or Non veg? Does this have Fish oil? What are the side effects? ## Please suggest me Evion e 400 mg merck capsule usp in green color it can be eat or apply on face skin . Which one method is best for looking young skin. Please repply ## I am not completely sure, but Merck does list them as being gelatin capsule and gelatin is usually derived from animal origin. And the active ingredient is Tocopheryl Acetate. It is just a Vitamin E supplement, so it has not been tested for side effects as is done with actual prescription drugs. However, too much does have the potential to be dangerous, so you should not exceed the recommended dosage. As to which way works best for skin, it's difficult to say. You can swallow them, or break them open to use topically, but you really need...
