small round orange pill with a number five on it ## Hi Tiff, There's actually two different pills that fit this description. The first is Bisacodyl (5 mg), which is typically prescribed for relief of constipation. And the other pill is Citalopram hydrobromide (10 mg); which is an antidepressant drug used to treat major depression associated with mood disorders. Do either of these two drugs sound familiar? The Bisacodyl pill appears to be more of a shiny reflective color of orange with the number 5 in black font if that helps! Please post back if you have any more questions or information to add! ## hi, Im tying to find out what kind of pill I found in my parents car.it is about 6 mm in diameter, round with #5 imprinted on one side, blank on the other side and orange in colour.

I have a small round yellow pill with the marking of a building or some type of structure inside a circle. I'm sure it's in the laxative family, but are you aware of any pill that fit's this description and/or would you happen to know the name of it?

Hi. I would like to know the purpose of this pill (i.e. what is it used for?). I found it after the death of my aunt. ## I think the marking you're looking at may actually be TCL 003, it is manufactured by Time Cap Laboratories and they list it as containing 5mgs of Bisacodyl, which is a laxative that is used to treat constipation. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain, cramping, and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with? I am so very sorry for your loss.

I found a tiny dark pink pill, smoorh coated with nothing on one side and a black 5 printed in the center on other side...anybody? Not scored ## Hi Rose, Based on your description, the closest match I located is a round "orange" pill with a 5 on one side (in black ink) and blank on the other. The entire pill also appears to be glossy/smooth coated. In any case, this particular pill is reportedly identified as a 5mg Bisacodyl tablet, used for the short-term treatment of constipation. For added verification, the manufacturer is listed as Major Pharma and the pill itself carries a National Drug Code of 00904-7927. I hope this helps!

Hi. My wife is taking amos/clauv 575 mg for an infection. At the same time she has some constipation (she never takes laxatives because she doesn't suffer of constipation, very rarely). Is it ok to take a bisacodyl 5mg or a sennosides ups 15 mg laxative at the same time as the antibiotics (amos/clauv 875 mg)? ## Hello, Esteban! How is your wife doing? I wouldn't suggest that she do so, unless her doctor okays it, because this antibiotic can actually cause diarrhea as a side effect, after she takes several doses of it. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness and non-allergic skin rash. Is she on any other medications?

I bought a very effective laxative in Belguim but lost the bag on the trip home. The pill was a small round purple pill in a blister pack. Can anyone tell me the brand? ## I know this thread is only a year old, and I don't know the brand name, but it could be bisacodyl. Click here for a picture.

It's the size of an oc, with a slightly yellow coating and white inside, tablet, only marking I can see is either an s1 or 51, POSSIBLY 31 but I don't think that's it. Tastes like absolutely nothing at all. I'm so curious, I cannot find the answer anywhere! ## Hi Val, I located a round "orange" pill that appears to fit your description. It is imprinted with "S1" (in black print) on one side and blank on the other. This pill is identified as Bisacodyl delayed release 5 mg; a laxative used in the treatment of constipation. Manufacturer: Pharbest Pharmaceuticals Inc. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Bisacodyl Details I hope this info helps! ## Your reading the pill upside down...lol.. it's TEVA. It's a 5mg Valium

for a child who is in heart failure ## Laxin contains the active ingredient Bisacodyl, which is a laxative. Learn more Bisacodyl details here. To be honest, a child with heart failure is a very, very touchy situation and I wouldn't recommend giving them anything without a doctor's approval. What other medications are they taking?
