I found a pill in my car that is capsule shaped and is scored. It has a small double pyramid on one score and an m on the other score. The other side of the pill is blank. ## Hello, Debbie! How are you? This tablet with the Andrx logo and the M on it contains 25mgs of Metoprolol in a time released formulation. It's a beta blocker that's most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and hypotension.

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?

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. Is there anything else I can help with?

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?

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. Is there anything else I can help wi...

Have an oval white pill with "AV 20" on one side and an arrow pointing to the left on the other. Wondering what this is ## Hello, Jonny! How are you?

Vicodin m325 & vicodine m367 mean ? ## Hello, Jc! How are you? Under current U.S. prescription drug laws, all manufactured tablets and capsules must have markings on them that enable them to be identified in case of emergency. For example, say someone is found unconscious with pills strewn around them, the paramedics would need to know what they had taken in order to provide proper treatment and they can find out, by looking at the markings on the pills and checking in the databases to see what they contained. Another example would be in case of product contamination, then the medications needs to be able to be traced back to a specific manufacturer, in order to rectify the problem and initiate a possible recall. There is no listed tablet that just has M 325 on it. However, when I l...

I am taking setraline hydrochloride 25 mg per day and clonozepam mouth disolving tablets .5 at night. Now i want to know how to reduce this two medicine. Any one can help me. ## The withdrawal effects, if you have only been using them as prescribed, are not usually severe, they are mainly annoying. The problem with these types of medications, if you stop them cold turkey is the rebound effect, since your body has to adjust to no longer having them. This can result in worsened depression and anxiety. Have you talked to your doctor about reducing them, yet? In most cases, they should be tapered, slowly, to help avoid these symptoms. If neither are time released, then you can safely split the tablets and start taking less of them.

Ihave a newscript for levothroxine 50 MCG - things usually say MG ## Hi Linn, I definitely hear you on this one. Prescription drugs can be more confusing than algebra at times. Lol The difference of mcg vs mg is the measurement of each. MCG is the abbreviation of micrograms. MG is the abbreviation of milligram. You would need 1000 micrograms to make up 1 milligram. For your own reference: 50 mcg = 0.050 mg Learn More: Levothyroxine Details I hope this helps! :) ## Thank you. That clears up a lot. You are right, it is as bad as algebra which I also did not excel in. ## What is the difference between b12 5000mcg and b12 1000 mcg. I have been taking b12 1000mcg. And the bottle is empty so is it okay if I take b12 5000mcg ## Can you take too much B-12 ? Iam taking 1000 meg per day and get b...

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. Which specific medications are you asking about?

I want to find out the pharmaceutical com. That uses RDY on Zolpidem. I believed the # on the other side was 679 or769 and is oblong with a corrugation in the middle. ## Hello, Bernie! How are you? I believe you're referring to the 10mg Zolpidem tablet that has the marking RDY 479, which is manufactured by Dr. Reddy's Laboratories. The FDA classifies this medication as a sedative hypnotic that is used for the short-term treatment of insomnia. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, funny taste in mouth, drowsiness, sedation and next day hangover-like effects. Is there anything else I can help with?

What does 10-5 mean on Lortabs? My prescription doesn't seem to be working for my pain and I was wondering if it meant Lortab 10 mg or Lortab 5 mg. So if it is 5 I can get a stronger MG ## What it seems to be is that your doctor was prescribing the tablets with 10mgs of Hydrocodone and 500mgs of Acetaminophen. I could be wrong, since I am not a medical professional, but I have seen it abbreviated this way before, from other similar posts. And no, a doctor cannot write it as an either/or prescription and let you pick which one you want, even if they tried, no pharmacy would fill it that way. More than likely, they will call your doctor to double check the prescription, to be certain of what exactly they are supposed to dispense to you. If your current dosage is not working for your p...

I found a white pill left at our business area yesterday. It is white and has M363 on one side and nothing on the other but just a line through the middle. I know it is a Hydrocodone but I don't know what milligram. Please tell me the milligram of this pill so I know what to look for when I ask them to present me the prescription, if they even have one for this medicine. Thank you. ## This is a 10/500 mg strength of hydrocodone and acetaminophen made by Mallinckrodt. (NDC 0406-0363) Inactive Ingredients: - Crospovidone - Magnesium Stearate - Cellulose, Microcrystalline - Povidones - Starch, Corn - Silicon Dioxide - Stearic Acid Side Note: If it were to read M357, it would be 5/500 mg. meaning that it is 5 mg. hydrocodone and 500 mg acetaminophen (sic). M358 is 7.5/500 and M360 is 7...
