I am assuming it is some kind of analgesic, but have had no luck finding exactly what it is. I had 3 bottles of various meds before my hysterectomy for cancer, 2 broke. I put all pills together in the last intact bottle, and there are 3 of these pills in there...I have no idea what they are now, I have taken so may things since. Any info would be wonderful!

Okies - I asked my pharmasist before posting, and contacted poison control..also tried the company's website who made it. Walgreens and walmart no longer use Breckenridge here, so it has been removed from their database. Poison control does not have this tablet listed exactly, seems Breckenridge makes generics of most things and none are this vaguely marked. Agian, not in their list. Their website shows 14 out of over 100 meds they make, and it may be one recently discontinued. Emails as to the identifaction have not been sent to me though I did ask. Anyone else want to have a go at this, seeing as anything normal tried has not worked? Thanks for the answers thus far, guys. Any other pill and I am sure it would have worked for sure!

I intend to "throw them away" but as I said, I have small children in the house. Also some compounds have to be disposed of in different ways for safety reasons. Check the poison control area of the FDa's website on that one. I did indeed find what it is, and thankfully I hadn't tossed them yet as they are just low end hydrocodone, a mere 5 mg. But it was enough to get me by when my tooth exploded from infection. Thank you for your answers, but in the future try not to assume one is a curious child and must be stopped. We are not all that dumb, and especially not myself :) My, I thought when you became 31 people would try harder to speak *to* a person rather than down to them. What if I had been a rebelling depressive teen? Ah, then stupid falls the other way, no? To those who limited their respons to helpful answers and not just barking "omg, what *is* she thinking" I sincerely thank you for your time, and have a blessed day!

Call poison control. That's who we use to tell people to call when I was a pharmacy technician. They have a huge data base and from the writing on the pill can usually tell you what the pills are.

There are so many manufacturers and so many different generic pills out there, there is not a very safe way to identify the pills. You need to throw them away.
I have worked for 10+ years in both inpatient and outpatient settings at hospital pharmacies and can tell you this: we don't play Name That Pill, trust me. It's not what we do and it is unethical.
If you, the patient, have no idea what it is, you should NOT take it.
If you need anything for pain or any other problems you might be having, please call your doctor.
In the future do not remove medications from their original bottle.
