I found a small round yellow pill with m2 on one side (other side is unreadable) in a minors bag. So I really want to know what it is, whether it's harmful, etc.? ## Hello Linda, I wasn't able to find an exact match for the pill you are describing, how bright of a yellow is the pill? There are two round pills I found with M2 imprints (pictured below) that are considered white but have a yellowish tint. Furosemide 20mg Hydromorphone Hydrochloride Let me know if either of these are the pill that you found so that I can provide you with detailed information.

I just moved from Massachusetts to Maryland to care for my 77 yr old mom and 80 yr old dad. I found the above described pill in the bottom of my mom's medication lock box and I'm not certain what medication it is. I do know that the pharmacy they use often purchases whatever manufacturer has the lowest price which I don't mind. But, I would really appreciate it if the pharmacy owner would have a written description of each medication printed on the label OR have a true to size photo of both sides of a pill on the label. ## Hello, Lisa!

The side that doesn't have 40 on it has a line down the middle but i can't read what it has going around the pill ## The closest match I could find shows that the pill is identified as Furosemide (40 mg). However the markings you are unable to read can significantly change what this pill could be. On this specific pill I located, the number 40 is on one side; and on the other side there is a score line across the middle, with the words 'Mylan' on the top half of the line and the numbers '216' on the bottom half. Does this sound or look familiar based on what you can see? Until we can figure out what the other side says, it is going to be difficult to determine what this tablet contains, unless you would pay to have it lab tested, somewhere... ## Its a _____ and I...
