Updated

It is a blue and white capsule.There is nothing written on it. It came in a white bottle.I wrote the name down Lentogesic. I really need to know for sure if this is addictive or not. Please it is very urgent.

While I cannot verify the exact medication which you have based on the description provided (it is not possible to know for sure without specific markings being on the capsules)... if you do in fact have Lentogesic, each capsule is said to contain:

Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) 400,0 mg
Dextropropoxyphene Hydrochloride 65,0 mg
L-Glutamine 25,0 mg

The ingredient Dextropropoxyphene (Propoxyphene) is a narcotic and has the potential to be addictive. There are also a number of precautions which are reported for this ingredient, and it should be taken with care.

More details are also available at the manufacturer's web site:
