I edited the post to show the images, so I think it's okay right now.

Sometimes we have problems getting the uploaded images into the posts.

Good luck - I hope someone can identify your capsules.

Virtually Impossible to ID

Sorry, jaythree, but it's not possible to identify capsules that have no imprints or markings without expensive lab testing.

I'm not a pharmacist or a medical doctor. This message is not medical advice nor is it an offer to provide medical advice. All drug identifications should be validated by a licensed MD or pharmacist.

Afterthought

Hi jaythree,

In my earlier post I should have explained why your capsules will be impossible to identify without lab testing.

All US prescription, over-the-counter and homeopathic drugs are required by law to have some sort of unique identifier or imprint.  So your capsules are not US pharmaceuticals.  Many vitamins, supplements, illegal drugs and foreign meds don't have imprints, so it's possible your capsules are one of these.  But without any markings, how do you determine what the pills are?  There is no way except by lab tests.

And you mentioned one capsule is supposed to be time-released morphine.   I'm not sure, but I think time-released capsules have little &^#?$ in them, not powder.  I would think powder would dissolve instantly.
