I found two oblong white pills, about 14mm. Blank on one side, G193 printed on the other. No scoring on either side. I thought it was lactase ("dairy pills"), which are used for treating lactose intolerance. Please help! ## Hi Julie, Based on my investigation your thinking was spot-on! An oblong white pill imprinted "G 193" is reportedly identified as an over-the-counter CVS dairy relief tablet that goes by the name "Lactaid Fast Act". This product is indicated for use in treating lactose intolerance. It is said to contain enzymes that help aid in the digestion of dairy products. I hope this helps! ## I found the same white pills in the Gas X bottle I bought. What are they doing in there? I Don't Know!!

small oval with more of a pointy end on the oval, white pill with G60 on one side and 200 on the other ## I found one pill, small white oval with G60 on one side and 200 on the other. My husband has acid reflux, and it is in a container with my lactase tablets. I probaly should discard it, but I am curious as to what it is for. Thank you. ## Sorry, this isn't listed in the drug databases, so I can only assume it is something over the counter. ## I have one of these, too, and I cannot find what it might be. I don't believe it's ibuprofen, as one person said. I found it in a small unmarked bottle that also contained a 2 mg Valium, so I'm thinking it might be something similar.

Found oblong pill with imprint RP144. What is it? ## What is the pill RP144 ## That's exactly the pill I got on here to try and identify. Neither this site or webmd has an answer. ## This is an over the counter item, which is why most sites will not have information on it. It is a lactase enzyme for those who are lactose intolerant. ## Oh - Thanks - I appreciate the information. It actually makes a lot more sense to me now :) ## It's an ultra-strength dairy tablet for lactose-intolerance. ## If this is a lactose intolerance medication, why is it not in any database? Not on WebMD, not on drugs.com, not even my CVS Pharmacist could identify it. I would like to confirm what they are 100%, so if you can tell me what brand they are, I'd be very grateful. Thanks so much. ## It is ...
