I found this pill today and I am concerned as to what it is as I don't know where it came from.
It is a thicker round (Cylindrical shape) pill yellow in color (like a canary yellow). The pill it's self is not fully yellow, it is a coating over the pill. There is no numbers on the pill at all, but on both sides there is a Uppercase V.
It was found in my car, and since I only usually drive with children, I thought it was candy, but since I have never seen a candy like it, I put my tounge to it to check and it had a bitter medicine taste.
If anyone knows anything about this, or where I can find out what it is, please let me know.
Thank you for any help you can provide me with!

I just realized my description was not too clear so here is a picture I found that will show the size and shape. There are 3 in the picture and it looks like the yellow one but it has a V on both sides instead.
Thanks!!

Thank you William V, although it was http://www.pharmer.org not .com, but I figured it out and identified the pill.
This is what it is: Vivarin (200 mg caffeine) - GlaxoSmithKline
OTC alertness aid often mistaken for Valium, described as V, yellow V, yellow arrow. Same tablet is available in an oblong shape.
I am still confused trying to figure out which kid had the caffine pills.
