I found a bottle of prescription pills in the back of my medicine cabinet...no label on it & I cannot remember what they are. They are oblong shaped, bright orange, and are stamped with 5229 on one side. Anyone have any idea?

No but if you call the poison control center they can look it up by that number.

Definitely call your local poison control #. Most pharmacies don't have the type computer program like poison control where you can plug in specs.
The pharmacy might be able to take a guess if they happen to know off the top of their heads, but there are so many different brands of drugs, they might not know.

I looked in my drug guide and it has a couple of drugs in a picture but it could be anything from antibiotic to powerful pain meds. in either case I would flush them down the toilet. because after a year or so they loose their potentcy and could cause you to become sick if taken. But if you just have to know I would call a local pharmasist and have them to look it up and tell me.

Call a pharmacy and give them the # on the pill and they will tell you over the phone.

You should call a medicine identification hotline. If you have insurance, call their customer service line or pharmacy line or however they work it. Or you can call your local pharmacy if you don't have that service, and ask them to identify it.

You could research it on the web, but better just tossing them out... they have probably expired... and why would you want to take something if you can't recall what it is for?

If you have had them so long you don't know what they are, they have expired. Flush them down the toilet. Don't risk your life by taking an unknown drug.

Try webmd.com, they might have a PDR(Physicians Desk Reference) available to use.
