Shapes And Sizes Of Pills

What is the different shapes and sizes and colors of ms contin 100mg ## Hello, Kp! How are you? I'm sorry, but since this medication is available as both a name brand and a generic, there are far too many tablets available for me to be able to list the detailed information about all of them. Do you have a certain pill you are questioning? If so, please post back with its description and the markings on it and I'll gladly check for you to see what it contains. Thanks! ## I have a pill that was said it was a tamdol it 100mg and it shape as a oval color is orange but has no code on it ## I have a pill tamdol that was said it was a tamdol it 100mg and it shape as a oval color is orange but has no code on it

Is there a reason for medications having different shapes, sizes and colors? If so when was the system first developed? ## Hello, Rclancy! How are you? It isn't the shapes, sizes or colors that matter, that is entirely up to the whit and whim of the manufacturer. Some of them will use different colors or shapes to make it easier to distinguish one dose from another, but they do not have to do so. The mandate under law by the FDA, is that all manufactured prescription medications must have unique markings on them to enable their identification, in case of emergency. For all the government cares, they could all be white, round tablets, as long as the markings on them are different, so they can be traced back to the original manufacturer, as well as allowing you to discover what the pi...

green capsule-coated ## One could never list pictures of all the green capsule coated medications. It would take a million years. Please list the imprint information so we can look it up for you. ## Nenene is correct. There are many thousands of green pills, even with the film coating. There are no proprietary guidelines in the pharmaceutical industry for colors, shapes, or sizes of pills. That is entirely up to the whit and whim of the manufacturer. For instance some people think all pink pills are Darvocet or all Darvocet pills are pink, and that just isn't the case. Sitting on my nighstand and my husband's bedside table right now are some oval pink that are not Darvocet, and some Darvocet that are not pink at all. The only requirement for pharmaceuticals, as per the FDA, is t...

My friend has been offered a purple football with speckles in it. I say it's not xanex but he swears it is. All she could read on the pill were the last 2 letters IN? What do you think? ## I'm not a pharmacist, but I know Xanax and I've never seen one speckled. It sounds like it might be an Adipex, which is a diet pill. ## With all the drugs out there and the various shapes, sizes, colors and imprints, it is impossible to identify it without knowing the entire imprint. ## not a chance ## i agree with jessica zippy goddess both jessica i'd say was just giving a good guess! ## A good guess, but without the markings on the pill, there is no way to know for sure. There are some Lortabs and other narcotics pills that meet that description as well, so it could even be one of t...

I'm on mail order for this medication I take pramipexole and have for 5years. Bought at drug store it was a white pill came in mail and it was a blue long pill bouth r 5mg What is the difference and is it the right pill ## I had the same question. ## The way a pill looks is entirely up to the whit and whim of the company making it, so I'm assuming that this order you placed was from a different manufacturer. The same goes for pills here in the U.S. when you see different brands of the generic drug selling in different shapes, sizes, colors, and packaging - but it is still the same drug with another name or another manufacturer. If you are able to get the pill analyzed at a local pharmacy or lab, that would be great if you could post back with the results. I don't know if it ...

I am wondering if this is a generic tylenol or something similar? I'm wondering if there are pictures of generic tylenol in various shapes and sizes? ## I cannot identify a pill. It has a large upside down V with a P in between the 45 degree angles. I have seen others describe a similar pill here, but unlike those, this one does not have an A, nothing is underlined, though the number 013 does appear on the back. Someone suggested it might be Vicoprofen, but I have never seen that drug in person. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ## Does anyone know what a small white tablet (quite a deep little tablet) is with 5VP on one side is please? My research suggests it could be vicoprofen - That's the only med that matches VP - I have been given it for my dog for disc problems. If i...

Is it normal for the size and shape of a generic drug to vary from store to store? ## These types of pills can be different shapes, colors, and sizes. Even though they are the same mg...for example...a 30mg amphetamine salt combo can come in pink or orange...both act the same and have the same ingredients...even though they look nothing alike. The reason being that they are made from 2 different manufacturers. ## Is D-Amphetamine another name for Adderall? Or is it another version [generic?] of it? I mean what's the difference? My doctor just prescribed Adderall for me, only for a few weeks until I can get through my thesis. The dosage is pretty low as I understand: D-Amphetamine Salt Combo 10mg, once a day. I have been taking it for 3 days now (1/day) 20-30min before I start writin...

white caplet with the word west-ward on it ## Sorry, there are many pills manufactured by Westward, of various shapes, sizes and colors, that all have their name on them, without knowing the full imprint, I cannot tell you which one it is. Please provide any additional letters or numbers on the pill and I will gladly look it up for you.

DESCRIBE THIS MEDICINE ## Sorry, there is no possible way to describe them all. This is available from many, many different manufacturers, and this it comes in pills of different sizes, shapes, colors and imprints. It is also available in lquid, capsules, and chewables, so nobody can you tell exactly what they all would look like. There is no proprietary guidelines in the pharmaceutical industry that says all pills or products with that ingredient must all look the same. How they look is up to the whim of the manufacturer. The only guidelines they must follow, as per the FDA, is that all prescription drugs sold in the US must have unique imprints on them for identification purposes. ## GG N7 white oval pill what is this pill used for please?

orange pills ## And what are you asking? No one can identify it, or tell you anything about it, including whether or not it is Oxy, just from the color. There are NO proprietary colors in the pharmaceutical industry. There are many orange pills of all different kinds of drugs and there are many Oxy pills in all different shapes, sizes and colors. I am sorry, but without more information, we cannot tell you anything.

Xanax comes in all shapes and sizes ## Did you have a question about a shape. or a size, or a color, or was that a statement? ## Hello, Derrick! How are you? This tablet is manufactured by Qualitest Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 1mg of Alprazolam, the active ingredient in Xanax. The FDA classifies this medication as a benzodiazepine that's most commonly used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders. It carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with? Eddy!! How are you?

How can you tell if you have a bad percocet 10mg/325 pill? Anyway to test to make sure they are good? ## Hey Bob; thats a real good question. and the sad part is they come in all shapes and sizes based on the manufacturer and brand...overall the will be a long a oblong shape pill with the numbers clearly written on it. except in the case of watson where it says watson right on it... another way to determine a real one from the fake one is by the price. if you see a ridiculous price like $2 ($60 for 30) a pill chances are you getting a placebo...the average cost of 30 pills is anywhere from $500 to $700. anywhere in that price range you know that you are good. ## 500 to 700 bucks for 10/325 percocet? ## People are making fake a333 and others... watch out ## Yep, I know for a fact because...

Listen People I have been taking Xanax for over ten years, and not once did I think there was difference in the pills, until I got these new (for almost two years now), which all I can say is I woke up in jail!! With that being said I have also done all the different sizes and shapes, and I think pretty much how you feel is all in your head! I mean if you been taking three "bars" a day for 10 years, and you do not withdrawal from this certain medication then you have got your alprazolam in you! ## Why did you go to jail and were you there long? I understand detoxing in Jail can be horrible, just like at home but worse. Fill us in?

this pill has no smell. someone said it is a mint. it is light blue, oval shape. Word: Trebor is on it. I have looked up mints and cant find this one anywhere. Help! ## Hello, Punk! How are you? Yes, Trebor is a brand of mint, they make several different ones in various sizes, shapes and colors, but all have the Trebor logo on them. They are similar to Altoids in being noted as being 'extra strong' mints. I've never tried these ones, so I don't know how strong they really are, though. Is there anything else I can help with?

I found two of these tablets in a part of town known for the sale and use of illicit drugs, street and Rx. They are square in shape (@ half size of an aspirin) white, lettering is M5 written on one side of the tablet (above one another) and what looks like a stylized recycling logo or possibly an angel - tablets are a bit worn on this side. Wondering if anyone knows what this could be...? I've googled and searched other websites who deal with Rx drugs and haven't been able to locate an answer - lots on different shapes, sizes, lettering & #'s but not on my specific description.

blank with score on one side, other side has W on top & 823 beneath. ## I’m trying to identify the pill you described perfectly. It’s either Claritin or prednisone 10mg. Sometimes my meds have totally different sizes and shapes and I’ve lost the label on these. Sometimes I put my meds for two or four days together if I’m staying away from home. I’m at end stage lung disease and take quite a few pills to say the least. I haven’t been able to find this one like the usual searches I ve done before thank you for any help you can tell me
