A beige oval pill with CIBA over 165 on one side, nothing on the other side. ## why do children like CIBA 165? Is it dangerous, addictive? ## I wish I could answer this, but I am unable to find a listing for this tablet in any of our resources. Do you have any more information on it? Do you know what country it is from? ## Hey fam i found this bottle in my grandparents cabinet a while back and it said they are Slow-K Potassium Chloride slow release tablets 8 mEq (600 mg) This bottle also expired July 1983 so there could definitely be a different medication by that name by 2010

I am looking for a drug for addicts, used by addicionologist , which is suppose to take away all cravings for pain killers, etc. ## Were you possibly thinking of Suboxone? It contains the opiate Buprenorphine and Naloxone, it is used to treat drug addiction, and prevent the abuse of other opiates, while someone is under treatment with it. The FDA warns that it does carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

score on oppisite side of ciba ## Hello, Frank! How are you? Where did you find it? I couldn't find a listing for this in any of the prescription drug databases that I checked, which leads me to suspect that it's an over the counter product and some of them are regional, so knowing the general location may help to narrow it down. I'll keep looking and post back, when I have information for you. Does anyone else recognize this tablet? ## I found a drug addiction site that says these are Ritalin 10mg tablets

I would really appreciate any help to identify these pills. They're beige/yellow'ish, and they're kind of old, but I'm super curious to know what they are. One side has CIBA, and the other O | R. ## I don't know the exact pill but am pretty sure they are older / discontinued. Most likely manufactured by Novartis with the "CIBA" branding on them. Can you confirm your location? I don't think the CIBA OR marking was for a domestic (US) drug. Wish I had more definite info to share at this point. Do you have any details available on the packaging, drug code, or manufacturer?

ciba ## Sorry, you have not provided enough information. This drug is available in both name brand and generic versions. There are many generic manufacturers and each one of them will make a pill that looks different. There are no rules saying that pills with the same ingredient have to look the same! The size, color, shape and imprint will all vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. The only relevant regulations from the FDA state that they must have unique imprints for identification purposes, but these will even differ by manufacturer and strength of the med. In order to identify your pill for you and tell you what it is, you need to provide the complete imprint from the pill, all letters, numbers and/or symbols that may be on it, as well as the color and shape. Then I can look it up...

Does anyone know where one could obtain glutethimide or it's brand name Doriden (CIBA Company)? Am in Canada where Doriden was discontinued in late 1980s and I was told Doriden discontinue was international. Perhaps there is now a generic form containing glutethimide available now as I would assume CIBA trademark rights would have by now expired. As the benzodiazapine replacement meds for Doriden are more addictive and dangerous (especially if mixing with alcohol & other drugs) it sure would be great to be able to go back to Doriden or glutethimide which were more effective and safer. A shame that the public was switched over to benzodiazipines (i.e. lorazapam, diazapam) when a better/safer product was available all in the name of profits and economics. Any help out there is mos...

Where can I buy Eucalyptamint gel creme 16%. Have an old squeeze tube of Eucalymtamint gel creme distributed by CIBA Consumer Pharmaceuticals in Woodridge NJ 07095. Anyone know where I can still find this product. ## I can't seem to find any specific details on stores that might carry it. Apparently, Insight Pharmaceuticals is the manufacturer of this product. You may want to contact them directly to see which stores they ship it to. INSIGHT Pharmaceuticals, LLC. 900 Northbrook Drive Suite 200 Trevose, PA, 19053 T: 1-800-344-7239 I hope this helps! ## It seems this product is no longer manufactored. Just called the company listed for it. So sad, it really helped my Mother, now looking for something that will take it's place

Sadly Glutethimide (Doriden) was discontinued by the last remaining manufacturer Halsey Drug (HD 550 on white round tablet) in late 1992. The DEA practically forced the FDA to make it a schedule ll drug with the ridiculously low quota of six grams. They were the best, especially with codeine ("Hits", "Cibas & codeine "). Yes they were abused but nothing like the opioid abuse epidemic of today. The last countries that used them were Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria. Doriden inducted a liver enzyme CYPD26 if I recall correctly, that made the codeine convert to morphine 80 to 90% instead of the usual 10-15%. It was very long lasting and effective. Finding any Doriden would be like finding the holy grail. ## Yes, Glutethimide combined with codeine was big in my part of the ...
