Registered Nurse here; No way to tell, for millions of generic drugs are dispensed daily. Generic drugs has no specific color, or numbers on them. One month they may be green, the next, red, and with different numbers. I've seen people on here speculate as to what the pill is. In all honesty for the reason stated above, it's difficult even for pharmacist to know what it is, unless they happen to carry that brand and manufacture of that particular medication.
Please destroy medication, if you need to know what it is, for fear a loved on is taking prescribed drugs. Place it in small glass or plastic container, place in safe place where no one else will find. And take it to your nearest pharmacy and ask the pharmacy's if they can identify it.

Please take it to a pharmacist (if possible at the pharmacy which prescribed as it as they are many generics) as it is a generic so you will have no easy way to identify it. Your only other option is to locate a copy of the US Pharmacopia but even then your odds of finding it are slim. It is true that if you call Poison Control that they may be able to ID it but they may not appreciate the call. Good luck.

Ecstasy is a puzzling pill. at the same time as they make it that is became right into a mind-blowing style. even if that is in a pill its not likely that that is Ecstasy. perhaps that is purely Tylenol (or different drug)and he or she change into afraid the dogs or a baby might want to locate it.
