white round pill cz02 ## I believe this is the old pill that is now being made in a capsule form of something called Balsalazide 750mg or brand name Colazal. It is an anti-imflammatory used to relax the bowel. Side effects include severe diarrhea, stomach cramping, ulcers, among others. ## Actually, the marking on the tablet has been misread, it's ZC 02 and it contains 25mgs of Promethazine, the active ingredient in Phenergan, which is most commonly used to treat or prevent nausea and vomiting. Learn more Phenergan details here. Side effects may include dizziness, drowsiness and dry mouth. Are there any comments or questions?

What drugs are in the salicylates drug class? ## Hi Gail, From what I've researched, there's actually quite a few medications within this drug class. Here's a list containing some of the US-based Salicylate medications I could find online: Azulfidine, Amigesic, Bayer, Colazal, Canasa, Dolobid, Dipentum, Doans, Ecotrin, Giazo, Kaopectate, Pepto Bismol, Pentasa, Salflex, Trilisate, and Tricosal. You may notice that it's mostly comprised of arthritis/anti-inflammatory related medications. I hope this info helps answer your question! Is there anything else I can do for you?
