Yes, it is Canadian
Sorry I didn't give a lot of info. Yes, the pill is Canadian but other than that, I have no idea what it is for. It was in a container with some Demerol, but there was no label on the container. I have looked everywhere for info but can't find a pic of this drug anywhere!

I seem to recall that Kirby
I seem to recall that Kirby had thought this was 5 mg of Valium. He had a pic of it andeverything, but dang if I can remember which board it was on or where the pic is at.

Vivol?
I wonder, could this be Vivol 5 mg? I've sent a request in to Axxess Pharma to see if it belongs to them.

I don't think so!
I know what Valium looks like, both foreign and US. I may have
thought this particular V5 pill was a foreign diazepam at one time, but
certainly not Valium. Then again the color is wrong for 5 mg
diazepam. So if I did guess V5 was diazepam, I don't remember what my reasoning was!

Some Clues Maybe
Jacol, we might have some clues about your V5 pill.
I found an image
of the same tablet buried in my computer. Luckily it's saved with
the date in the name (February 2006). So I went looking for the
original post on ID This Pill where the photo was posted.
Unfortunately 45 days of posts are gone!
I don't remember if the post had any comments. Maybe incognito will remember.
Here's the image showing both sides of the tablet:
And on the same board another poster uploaded an image of V20. The V logo looks similar to me, but the other side has SS on it. So I don't know if it's the same type of pill.
And recently a poster here asked:
Quote:
I have a small white tablet which is scored on one side and has either a V with a 10 inside of it or an upsidedown triangle with 01 in it on the opposite side. I was told it was oxycodone but have never seen any that look like this.
http://www.pharmer.org/node/2700
Unfortunately we don't have an image of the V10 pill, but it sounds like it could be the same pill.
Both V5 and V20 are confirmed to be Canadian. The V10 poster never replied when he was asked if he's in Canada.
V20 SS was confirmed to be 20 mg oxycodone IR; V10 is thought to be oxycodone per the post at node/2700.
Even though V20 SS was confirmed as oxycodone IR, we don't have anything official. And often posters believe what they are told and what they want to believe.
So we'll keep looking until these mysteries are solved.

Wow, thanks for the info and
Wow, thanks for the info and all the effort you're putting into finding this out for me! Someone told me it might be superdol or supradol (sp?), but I can't find pictures of it anywhere.
They said it could be a strong painkiller?
March 18, 2006 - 4:44pm

I believe that supradol is
I believe that supradol is also known as Toradol, the drug being Ketorolac.
It is used sometimes for post op. pain, but it is not narcotic. It is
an NSAID (anti-inflammatory), I can't find any photos of this drug that
match yours.

Yeah, that's what I found
Yeah, that's what I found about it as well, but there doesn't seem to be any pics to compare it to. The Toradol pictures don't match the pill I have.

Ok so, I had what the product was wrong, but I WAS right in that Kirby had a partial answer as that wasthe post I was hunting for. THanks Kirby.

Ketorolac is almost always
Ketorolac is almost always round and white and comes in 10 mg form only (in the US and Canada) - other than IV.
I keep seeing lots of warnings - apparently the oral form is given only after IV administration and for no more than five days thereafter. Surely there are safer alternatives for pain relief.
Sorry, I'm going off topic but think it's important to mention the problems with ketorolac, especially since it's a possibility for your pill ID.
Anyway, the '5' on your pill probably means something. So I don't think it's ketorolac.
Jacol, do you see any similarity between your pill and the V20 pill image? And do you think from reading the V10 post that it might be the same pill in a different dose?
Do you think oxycodone IR is a possibility?
Do we have any Canadian experts here?
And where is Aesthir, our very generous poster who has supplied all of the many beautiful Canadian pictures that we have?
Jacol, someone will know something soon hopefully.
It's
hard for us since US and Canadian meds usually differ in
appearance. And our databases don't cover all meds from all over
the world.

I believe Aesthir posted the
I believe Aesthir posted the V 20 SS pill at IDTP at one time. I can't find the old posts either.
The last time someone posted the blue V5 at idthispill.com, one poster said that he was "pretty sure it was valium". That was quickly discredited by myself as well as a couple others and the user who posted the reply even agreed that he was just guessing (and he didn't really have any info or knowledge to base his guess on as he mentioned in a PM he sent to me that I no longer have). So there really wasn't much useful info in the V5 post at IDTP.
Following Kirby's side note, I have had a little experience with Ketorolac
(Toradol). I was given 60mg IM for a migraine and it did nothing. I
read a study/clinical trial performed by the mfg of Toradol and it said
they found that 60mg IM was shown to provide pain relief equal to
8-12mg morphine IM. Now I have never had morphine IM, but I can guess
that it would be much much stronger, the Toradol did nothing for the
headache and caused a sore muscle where the shot was given. I can't see
how the mfg can compare the two drugs as they are completely different.
One is a opiate and one is an NSAID. Ok, sorry for the rant.

I looked at the V20 pill,
I looked at the V20 pill, and the front does look similar to my pill, but the shapes are different and there are no markings on the back side of my blue pill, so I'm just not sure. I'm thinking the oxycodone could be a possibility, but I'm hoping it's not the Toradol, as I've read some nasty stuff about it. It definitely is a Canadian drug, and that's about the only thing I know about it, which I realize doesn't really help much!

SUPEUDOL
Not supradol. These are SUPEUDOL made by Sabex Quebec
SUPEUDOL® TABLET 10 mg
SUPEUDOL® TABLET 20 mg
SUPEUDOL® TABLET 5 mg
These are like Oxy.IR® oxycodone HCl

Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the info.
That makes sense. We had a sneeking suspicion that it was OxyIR, but nothing to confirm it. I still can not find a photo, but can find this description.
IMPRINT CODE: 5COLOR: BLUE
SHAPE: CIRCLE, SCORED
FORM: TABLET
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:
OXYCODONE HYDROCHLORIDE 5 MG
I also show that the 20mg was not on the market until about a year ago, but that the 5 and 10 had been around for awhile.
I still wish we could find a photo to match, especially since the description just says blue 5 scored. But atleast now we have the mfg.

hey guys, read through the posts. yes its Supedol. I have 5's and there green, not blue. My 20's are blue. Be careful if u intend to injest this, it may be a 20. If it says 5, then it must be a 5, otherwise i'd think its a 20 MG Oxycodone.

I am on Oxi IR for back pain,
I am on Oxi IR for back pain, the blue pill is definately Supeudol 5 mg and the white pill later in this thread is Supeudon 20 mg better known as Oxycodone HCI. Somewhere someone mentioned Toridol aka ketorilac ( sorry for spelling), I have a damaged sciatic nerve and am currently waiting for surgery, every time I have a flare up they give me toridol lol NEVER has worked in 4 years not once has it even had an effect one me or anyone I know. The dangers of this drug as far as I know are just becoming more available here in Canada but dr's still try it first because its not a narcotic.
Hope this helps you some
This is a tricky one, it has been asked a couple of times on a couple
of different boards and we really can't find an answer. The pill is
thought to be Canadian, can you verify that in any way? Also anything
you can tell us about it might help. Thanks and Sorry
