red, gel filled, eliptical shape ## small, red, gelatin type capsule, with no markings and clear fluid inside. possible OTC medication ## The original gelcap asked about contains 100mgs of Docusate, which is a stool softener and laxative that's available over the counter. You can learn more Docusate details here. Side effects may include nausea, gas, diarrhea and abdominal cramping. On the unmarked one, however, it's very difficult to be certain what it contains. It's most likely something available over the counter, but It's difficult to be sure what exactly it is. Does anyone else have any ideas?

I have a bright yellow gelatin capsule with no markings at all. It is supposed to be 300 mg. Gabapentin put out by Zenlabs Pharmaceutics. I would feel so much better if someone could confirm this identification before I decide to take the pill. ## I can't tell you what it is, but I can tell you that if it doesn't have any markings on it, then it isn't a legal U.S. capsule of Gabapentin. All manufactured tablets and capsules available in the U.S. are required to have unique imprints to enable their identification. Learn more Gabapentin details here. In addition, this medication doesn't work like an analgesic, because that's not what it is, so only having one tablet, or even a few to take is pointless, as it will not help with anything anyway. Where was it obtained?

Does this capsule contain any non-veg ingredient and if not, then why red mark is there in its wrapper? What is the veg alternative for this capsule? ## Still looking answer for this question, Can anyone atleast Sun Pharma, the manufacturer respond ? ## I used to take the old I-site capsules and it used to have green (veg) dot on it. Then people found out the capsule itself was made of gelatin (non-veg) material. I'm not sure what the non-veg ingredients exactly are but the gelatin container is surely non-veg, hence they stopped putting green dot on it. If that is the only non-veg component, it may be possible to simple cut it open and take out the ingredients, and throw away the container-capsule. However some vitamins and minerals inside may also be non-veg in origin. The best alt...

I have two capsules--I don't know what they are. Each gelatin capsule is half black and half white. On the black half, it says (in white) RUGBY 3729. It looks like I've found it in a Google search, but when I go the the page, it isn't there. ## Just go to pillsid and put in the answers they need. I use it many times. ## I've tried several pill identification site and haven't been able to find it. ## Hi Shanter, Is there any possibility that the marking on your pill has simply been misread? I've also searched a number of drug databases with no luck. Because of that, it is very likely that this pill falls into one or more of the categories listed below: -Manufactured outside of the U.S. -It is an over-the-counter medication -Fake -Party drug (ecstasy or something e...

the soft gelatin capsule of evion is from animal origin or what. . is it derived from pigs or from what source ## I'm sorry, but since these aren't available in the U.S., I have no information on the inactive ingredients. Have you tried asking your doctor, or a pharmacist/chemist? Most gelatin capsules are of animal origin. The active ingredient in this product is Vitamin E, so it is a nutritional supplement. You can learn more here:

I'm vegetarian and need to take Vicadin, other then the gelatin capsule are there anymore animal ingredients in this product? Thank you ## The name brand Vicodin is supplied in tablet form, not capsules. I am not a vegetarian, so I don't know what is or isn't an animal product in this list, but aside from the Hydrocodone and Acetaminophen in the tablets, here is the list of inactive ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, starch, croscarmellose sodium, dibasic calcium phosphate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, povidone, and stearic acid. However, this list is only for the name brand medication. The inactive ingredients can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, so a generic of the medication can contain different substances. If you do not have the name brand...
