small round white pill lk 20
found in couch wat is it for a small white pill with lk 20 on it ## Hello, Ashley! How are you? From what I can find, this is listed as being a 20mg Ikorel tablet, it is a potassium channel opener, it increases the exit of potassium from certain muscle cells to widen the arteries and reduce the workload on the heart. It is commonly used to treat angina pectoris. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and trouble sleeping. Is there anything else I can help with?
