What Does L And Mean On A Pill

White Round Pill With A Number 3 On One Side And M on the other side ## Acetetophomin 300 mg + codeine 30 mg. ## what does a round white pill with an M on one side and 30 on the other side mean? ## Hello, The m on the pill is an imprint which is an identifier and I would love to help you so I just need to know one detail. There are two different pills that I found with an M and a 3, but one of them has a square around the M and the other one has just an M and no box. These pills are completely different so I just need to know which one you have so I can provide you with some additional information. ## The M is probably the manufacturer, like Mallinkroft. (Sp?) ## The one that I found has a box around the M

Small round white pill with am R amd no numberssupposed to be winstrol ## A letter like that is usually just a manufacturers logo, so it can stand for whatever they are using it for, such as the company name. In some cases it could also stand for the trade name of a tablet, or the active ingredient. I have no information, however, on one with just an R on it and whether or not it is Winstrol. Where was it obtained?

On my sleeping pills it says "Apo-Zopiclone"... Then in brackets on the prescription label it says GLA. My question is, what does APO mean...and what does GLA mean? Thank you. ## What's APO 37.5/25 on my sleep medications stand for ## In Canada, and some other countries, medications are often listed according to manufacturer, and name of the actual chemical, so in this case, the APO stands for the manufacturer Apotex. The GLA stands for the distributor, since Apotex licenses their products to several companies for dissemination across the country. The 37.5/25 is the designated dosage of the substances in the relevant medication. Zopiclone may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, sleep actions, and next day hangover-like effects.

I got a pill from a friend who said it will calm me down..she said it was valium...but it looks differant...its light yelllow and round. There is a P on top and under the score line there is a 5 ## Since this is Canadian, I can't definitively confirm it, but this pill has come up several times and several Canadians have identified it as being a generic for Valium, with the % designating it as a 5mg tablet. In case you aren't familiar with Valium, here's a link to more Valium details . It does require a prescription and can be habit forming, so it shouldn't be used, without a doctor's approval.

I was asked bye a friend if what he takes is a percocet or vicodin because his new pills are the v perc 5s. So i told him they were generic percocet and he thinks the v stands for vicodin. He thinks vicodin is the brand name. Can u explain this a little better for me thanx ## Most likely, it is the symbol for the manufacturer of the pills.. Qualitest ## Darwinski is correct. The V is the logo for Vintage Pharmaceuticals, which is now owned by Qualitest. It has nothing to do with what the pill actually contains. Is there anything else I can help with?

im allergic to sulfas,sulfites, sulfers so some bi-layered pills i cannot take especially the plastic coated pills so i want to know if bi-layered pills contain sulfas in them... ## Whether or not it contains sulfa, will depend on the specific ingredients of the pills in question, so I can't answer your question from such limited information. Bi-Layered simply means that there are 2 different layers to the pill, either of two different ingredients, or the same ingredient, with two different mechanisms of action.
