My roommate and I found a bag of pills on our other roommate's floor and we were curious about what they are... One is orange-peach in color and oblong in shape and has CIT on one side. The other is a small oval that is grey on one side and red on the other. P10 is on the grey side. Any information would be lovely. Many thanks, Kristen Toast. ## The faded looking orangish pill with CIT on it is a Citrucel Fiber tablet, meant to ensure someone gets enough fiber in a day and increase the regularity of bowel movements. The one marked P10 is a laxative tablet that contains 100mgs of Docusate Sodium. Are there any comments or questions? ## Congratulations on invading your roommates privacy, thinking they're a drug addict, when they have low fiber. Pathetic.
