Over The Counter Drugs Pill Identification

Oblong white pill. Side 'A' is split down the middle. On the right side of the split there is a triangle with no bottom that has a capital 'P' inside the triangle. On the left side of the pill there is the number 152. Side 'B' of the pill is plain. I was thinking it might be a generic version of a mucus relief medication, but I wanted to make sure. ## That is the Advanced Pharma logo that's used on their over the counter items, but I can't find any listing that confirms what this tablet contains. The main problem with identifying over the counter products is that they aren't required to log the imprints with the FDA, like prescriptions drugs. Learn more OTC drug details here. Does anyone else recognize this tablet? ## i have found a small lite tan or ...

Found this pill is my med cabinet, oblong blue pill, think it may be some ibprofin ## Hello, Katy! How are you? I'm sorry, but I can't find a definitive identification for this tablet, but over the counter products are not required to be logged with the FDA, as are prescription drugs. I'll keep looking and post back, when I have information for you. Does anyone else recognize this tablet?

I found a pill that is light blue colored football shaped w/p445 on it. What is it? ## what are they for? ## I have removed the incorrect identification. Just to clarify that when it comes to generic drugs, the shape and color of a pill has nothing to do with what the pill actually is, you have to go by the imprint on the pill. Yes, there are namebrand Xanax that are blue and football shaped, however, this pill IS NOT XANAX, not any type of controlled substance.! As a matter of fact, this is not even a prescription drug of any sort. This is pill is nothing more than Naproxen Sodium 200mgs, over the counter, sold commonly under the name brand Aleve. This is just a generic or store brand.

No one seems to know this, A Blue oval Pill with E 745 on it. How is it possible this cannot be identified? ## Hello, Brovolone! How are you? From what I've been able to find, this is an over the counter product called Guaipax SR that is listed as containing 75mgs of Phenylpropanolamine and 400mgs of Guaifenesin, it is a cold remedy that helps relieve nasal congestion. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, dry throat, nervousness and insomnia. That also explains why it's been hard to find an identification for it, over the counter medications are not required to be listed with the FDA like prescription drugs. Is there anything else I can help with?

I found two white, circular pills, approximately 1/4 of an inch in diameter. I want to know how many mg they are and what kind of pill they are. I think they might either be oxycodone or percocet. ## Also, they have absolutely no markings on either side. Perfectly smooth on either side. ## If there are not markings on them, then we can actually rule them out as being a U.S. approved prescription medication, so they likely aren't Percocet or Oxycodone. All manufactured prescription tablets in the U.S. are required by law to have unique imprints to enable their identification. Thus, it is most likely that these are over the counter medications, of some type. Learn more OTC drugs details here. Where were they found? That may help to narrow it down, so we can find an identification. ## ...

036 white round pill ## Are there any other markings on the tablet? I cannot find anything listed in our resources with just a 036 on it. I also can't list all possible pain pills and their markings, because between prescription and over the country products, there are just far too many to enable me to do that. It is the marking on a pill that enables its identification, except in the case of some foreign drugs and over the counter products. Can you post back with more information, please? ## I have a pill that is round and white and 036 stamped on it. I cannot identify it at all. It is about the size of an aspirin and it is coated, Can you tell mu what it is? ## please help I have a white round pill with only a capital B on one side?????

I found a small orange pill with no markings or score marks in my boyfriends pocket. A buddy of his told me it was an oxy 40 but I can't find this anywhere. Can anyone tell me if that's what it is or if it's something else? ## If this really was an "Oxy 40" as his buddy claimed, my understranding is that they would not be from the US (unless they're counterfeit). The FDA requires all prescription drugs to bear an imprint/marking of some sort for identification. Without this, my guess is that it's probably fake or foreign (assuming it's actually Oxycodone), or an OTC med/supplement... Have you considered discussing this with your boyfriend to see if his story lines up with what you were told by his 'buddy'?

Is there any white oval pain pill without any imprints? ## It would either be an over the counter product, or a foreign medication. All prescription tablets in the U.S. are required by law to have a unique imprint to enable their identification. Learn more prescirption medication details here. Where was it found? Do you know anything else about it? ## Hi Darla, If there is a pain pill without any imprints, then it is most likely not a prescription drug or one that is manufactured in the U.S. U.S. law requires that all prescription drugs have unique letters or numbers (sometimes in addition to a logo of some kind) imprinted on the tablets or capsules so the medication can be identified by manufacturer, substance and dosage. Is this something you ordered online by chance?

Round dark circle no imprint. Not sure if it is an opiate or a benzo? ## If it is an alleged opiate or benzo class drug, it wouldn't be from a licensed US pharmacy. The FDA requires all American pharmaceutical drugs to bear an imprint or marking for identification. Without that, my guess is that this could either be counterfeit, and OTC med, foreign or illicit. One way to find out for certain would be to have its contents analyzed by a lab. However the cost may not be worth it if you intend to throw the pill away sooner than later. Whereabouts did you get it from?

I take Lipitor (now Atorvastatin generic) and Atenelol on a daily basis. I always take pills out of PX. bottles and put into special container away from children. As there are many generics around, I have mixed up my pills and I now have a white oval shaped (almost flat) pill and I do not know for which it is a substitute. Silly I know but if anyone one knows of a substititute for either of these drugs that comes as described above without any markings whatever, please let me know. ## It's not a prescription tablet, all such tablets dispensed in the U.S. have to have imprints to enable their identification. Thus, it's likely an over the counter product. Learn more prescription drug details here. What OTC products have you been taking recently? ## Thank you - that was indeed my t...

the pill is a pink color, and has five sides (pentagonal shaped) and has nothing imprinted on it but is scored down the middle of one sode of the pill. Can someone please identify this pill for me..Thank you ## Sorry, without an imprint, it is impossible to identify this pill, unless you would pay to have it lab tested. It could be anything, there are many, many pills of that description on the market. All prescription drugs legally sold in the US are required to have a unique imprint for identification purposes, but this does not apply to any over the counter products, including supplements and vitamins. It could also be a foreign drug. So sorry, we are unable to help with this.

Here in Customs Laboratory Serbia we always need several informations about drugs ## I am sorry, but our drug identification resources are mostly limited to U.S. and Canadian drugs, and even in reference to those, our information mainly pertains to prescription medications and not most over the counter items. It can be very difficult to find identifications for foreign medications and this can be especially complicated by the fact that you are posting something that is coming through customs, so this site doesn't know the exact country of origin to even start looking. I did do a general search, but haven't found anything on a tablet with this marking. Have you tried asking a pharmacist/chemist? ## It is Robax Platinum. A muscle relaxer. Its 500Mg methocarbamol.

What is this pill? I found them in my daughters bag. ## To be completely honest,t hey are most likely something that's available over the counter, such as a generic or store brand of Tylenol, or something similar. In the U.S. prescription drugs are all required to have unique imprints to enable their identification, in case of emergency. This law, however, does not apply to over the counter medications and supplements. Learn more OCT drug details here. Have you tried just asking your daughter about it?

I found a white round pill with the scoring on one side and blank on the other with no scoring or numbers. What is this pill? I found it in my daughter's room. ## One thing we can rule out right off the bat is that this is not a USA, FDA-approved prescription drug since they are required by law to have an imprint (containing either numbers or letters or both) for identification. The scoreline is simply there for dividing a pill in half and has nothing to do with the actual FDA-required imprint itself. This leaves over-the-counter medication, dietary supplements, foreign drugs and counterfeit or illicit drugs as the remaining possibilities. However, from my perspective the only viable way to identify a pill with no imprint is to have its contents analyzed by a lab and/or drug panel.

5/8 " long, 1/4" wide Found in my daughter's pocket. She doesn't do illegal drugs because she takes medication for epilepsy (she's afraid other drugs will cause a seizure). One of her friends is in to "herbal supplements" and other "healthy" things. Was wondering if this might be some type of herbal supplement, and how to find out what it is. she doesn't do ## If there are no markings on it, then it is going to be difficult to determine exactly what this contains. Yes, it can be rule out as being another prescription medication, because they are all required to have imprints to enable their identification. However, this does not apply to over the counter products, so it could be any one of a large number of those. Out of my own experiences, I can ...

Anybody know what this pill is? Have looked on various pill identification sites and can't find it. ## This is likely over the counter Pamprin which is used in treating menstrual cramps and related symptoms (NDC 71687-3003). Active Ingredients: - Acetaminophen 500 mg - Pamabrom 25 mg - Pyrilamine maleate 15 mg Color: Purple Score: No score Shape: Capsule Size: 18mm Imprint Code: P Source: DailyMed Please note that because this is an over the counter product, the appearance is subject to change and there could be other over the counter products with a similar appearance.

I need to find out what pill is white and oblong with no markings at all. I want to know what this drug is for? ## Objectively, the best way to identify a pill with no markings is to have its contents analyzed by a lab and/or drug panel. Otherwise the description is too broad to match anything in particular, with potentially hundreds or thousands of possibilities ranging from over the counter supplements, foreign medication or counterfeit/illicit drugs... One thing is for certain though, and that is the FDA requires all US pharmaceuticals to bear an imprint/marking for identification. Without that, one can be certain it's not a legitimate US 'prescription' drug. Some information that may also help us narrow down search results is where the pill was found or who you got it fr...

small pill oval shap with smaller oval shap inside it cant see any names or numbers on it ## Sorry, without any imprint, it is almost impossible to identify, unless you would spend the money to have it lab tested. All prescription drugs sold legally in the US are required by the FDA to have unique imprints for identification purposes, however there are no such guidelines for over the counter products, supplements or foreign drugs.

sleeping medication. used to give in hospitsals in the1980 ## Do you recall if there was any sort of imprint or marking on the pill? I do know that all U.S. prescription drugs are required by law to have a marking of some kind for identification purposes. If this pill has no marking then odds are that it may be an over-the-counter sleep aid or possibly even a foreign medication (made outside of the US). Any other details would be great if you can. Thanks!
