Answer 2

Where did you get this pill? If from an RX bottle, call the pharmacy listed on the label and ask. Even with just the name from the bottle you could check it out on www.webMD.com. If it is not in a bottle, DO NOT TAKE IT!!! Why would you want to take such a risk?

Answer 3

It's not likely that the pill can be definitively identified with only this information. If you absolutely need to know, take it to a pharmacy and ask. The only other thing you should do is throw it away!!!

Answer 4

I have no idea, please consult a pharmacist at the drug store, or a doctor. But in the meantime use a pain killer that you know is safe, life tylenol, advil, aleve, etc. Taking pills that you don't know what they are, are very dangerous. Could even kill you. mermaid199

Answer 6

Answer 7
