According to one database a round light green coated tablet imprinted ALVA is 100 mg caffeine. I can't confirm the info though.
Whatever the pill is, it's something sold over the counter. All of the company's pills are imprinted simply "ALVA". The pills differ in shape and/or color.
If it's not caffeine, it might be one of the DIUREX pills - "America’s #1 selling water pill"

Not sure if Kirby and I
I am not sure if Kirby and I were looking at the same source on this one or not (very possibly that we were), but I am leaning towards Caffeine 100mg (Pep-Back).
All the Diurex descriptions I saw, that were even anywhere close to the same color, listed them as oval not round.
If you are still curious about this one let us know.

it's PEP-BACK.
it's PEP-BACK. Could be ultra pep back which is about 200mg of caffeine. Thats about two cups of strong coffee.

Diurex caffeine
The pill is definitely caffeine, sold in a Diurex bottle. It's 100 mg. It is used for PMS symptoms, bloating, tiredness, etc. Caffeine's quite useful. :-)
small round white pill... GG296 imprinted...???
