I have taken Anacin for 20 plus years due to my chronic knee pain. I have tried everything out there but can honestly say Anacin works the best for me. I thought it was the aspirin-caffeine combination, but for some reason that ain't all of it. I've tried other aspirin-caffeine tablets by other companies, like Bayer back and body, and even though it is higher in aspirin content it just doesn't work as well as Anacin for me. One very important thing one should know is (and I discovered this the hard way) too much caffeine for too long a time affects your heart's natural pacemaker. It makes your heart beat too slowly. You'll know this when you just don't feel right but can't put a finger on it. Check your heartbeat. Mine would go down to 50 bpm. For an out of s...

Acetaminophen

Paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen,[a] is a medication used to treat fever and mild to moderate pain.[11][12] At a standard dose, paracetamol only slightly decreases body temperature;[11][13][14] it is inferior to ibuprofen in that respect,[15] and the benefits of its use for fever are unclear.[11][16][17] Paracetamol may reliev...

Kinda thick light yellow with an arrow on both sides ## Hi msl little, The only pill I've found that somewhat matches your description is Anacin (400 mg) of Aspirin+ (32 mg) of caffeine. It is a white round pill with a thick arrow (sometimes referred to as a Christmas tree) imprint on both sides. How big is the arrow logo on your pill? You can learn more about this drug on the page for Aspirin, ASA + Caffeine Details

Round white pill with Christmas tree imprint on both sides ## I think there's a chance that what you're looking at my be an A logo and that you have some Anacin tablets. Is the tree basically a triangle that's sitting on a slightly curved base? If so, then that's what they probably are. Anacin is an over the counter pain reliever that contains Aspirin and Caffeine. ## Christmas tree looking pills sound like Ecstasy.

Have searched everywhere. ## Anacin ## I was searching My self to find what kind of pill it was theres two close results One is it maybe be a vicodin 7.5 mg. my neighbor used to get them and thats what it looked like just whit round and 323 on one side of it. tho im not saying this is completley acurate but only acurate to my knowledge. Tho there is alprozolam 1 mg it has 323 on it but also a 1 over top of it. ## My metaphormin tablets for class 2 diabetes have 323 on them and are white and round.

Round circle white pill, had a V on the same side as 9 and 2 arrows or was it 911. Also don't remember if anything was on the back. ## From what I've read, a round white pill with a large arrow logo is Anacin (400 mg aspirin + 32 mg caffeine). However if you don't know what other markings are on the pill besides a V and some arrows, there's little chance of finding an definitive ID for it. Is the "V" in cursive/italic writing? If so, it's usually accompanied by a four digit number on the same side "OR" on back of the pill (often times with a score line as well). Example: V 20 91 V 21 09 V 3912 To my understanding, Vintage Pharmaceuticals and Qualitest Pharmaceuticals are the only manufacturers who use this particular "V" logo. I'd consider...

500 on side and arrow on other ## I found a thick white round pill with 500 on one side and an arrow covering most of the reverse side. I have no idea what is it, but I would like to find out. ## This pill is called "anacin". If you google the description. I.e. 500 arrow round white pill. Let the page load than, hit "image" there is two side by side pills with a large arrow, click on it. Another set of images pops up. Two side by side pill images with 500 on one side and a large arrow on the other that appear to match your previous description. ## Chili is correct, it is manufactured by Insight Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 500mgs of Aspirin and 32mgs of Caffeine, it is most commonly used to treat headaches. The FDA lists its typical side effects as poss...

I'm trying to identify this pill. It's kinda small but thick with either a Christmas tree or if you turn it sideways it looks like 2 mountain peaks. The other side has no markings and the bag says Focus on it in hand writing. ## Did you manage to find out what this pill was? Someone I know has found a similar tablet. ## Anacin, which is aspirin and caffeine, has a triangular shape with a small base imprint which sort of resembles a tree. Some reports stated that there was "XTC" made, at some point, with a tree on it. ## Can you tell me what this pill is? I have the same one. ## No never got a response just trashed then. We had a wedding and one of our guest dropped them. Really would like to know so not to socialize with them ## It is a sleep aid/tension relief homeopath...

Round, White pill the size slitly bir then an Aspirin ## I haven't been able to find a listing for this so far, but that is most likely due to the fact that the pills with an L followed by 3 additional numbers are over the counter products. They are sold by various stores as generics or store brands of many popular over the counter medications, such as Tylenol, Anacin and Sudafed. Learn more OTC drug details here. Where was it found? That may help me to narrow it down. ## in a asprin bottle with lable missing...my son thinks they are old asprins...I just want to be sure.

I found this medication on the apartment floor while visiting my Dad. Just want to if it's an over the counter med or a prescription pain medication? ## Hello Lisa, Fortunately for you I can say that this medication is very unlikely prescription medication as the FDA requires that it have an identifiable imprint. Looking around I was able to find an small white round Anacin pill that has a very wide arrow on both sides. Anacin is an over the counter oral pill that is used to treat pain and can be purchased at most convenience stores. There is a product listing on Amazon which shows an image of the pill on the packaging. {aff link} Is this the pill you are referring to? ## What is this pill used for? ## It's an over the counter pain reliever containing Aspirin. ## Anacin is corre...

I had found a pill on the ground and I was wondering what it is. It is white with a arrow on one side and nothing else on the other It may have an arrow on both sides actually but I am not sure. Can you tell me what this is. ## Hmmm this is a tough one - So there are no other markings or letters / numbers on it? Any chance of taking a picture of the pill and emailing it to the ? That way it could be posted on this site for identification. ## It is most likely anacin, a 400 mg aspirin, check this site out and see if this is what it looks like....

WANTING TO KNOW WHAT THIS PILL IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR? CAN YOU PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTION? ## Hi Joann, Although I haven't found any photos to verify this specifically, someone in another thread here had claimed them to be generic Excedrin tablets, containing a combination of Acetaminophen + Caffeine + Aspirin, for headache relief. And from what I could gather myself, I believe it's being manufactured by a company called Time-Cap Labs, Inc., who makes pills with similar markings. I hope this helps to answer your question! ## This pill is an aspirin. It comes from the dollar store. It's generic for anacin, comes in a green and white bottle. I buy them all the time.
