It's a big pill!

I'm almost positive it's a gas reducer of some kind.  Can anybody shed more light on it for me?

Thanks,

G 192

Those are beautiful images, 4andsic. As always. Thanks.Cool

Very nice pills. The bi-layered effect is quite unusual.

None of my databases has any info, so I suspect you are correct that the pills are something like Gax-Ex.

The "G" logo reminds me of this logo that we can't attach a manufacturer's name with:

 G147 caplet unidentified See Forum Topic

G 147 caplet - identity unconfirmed

According to a couple of posters, we think it's a fiber supplement made by American Fare, a KMart brand.

And there is a thread for G 188 that a poster identified as another fiber supplement - same brand made for KMart (if I remember correctly).

And to complicate matters, one other poster said the G 188 is a generic Darvocet distributed by the VA!

Since none of these imprints (G 192, G 147 and G 188) is in the databases, it makes sense all the pills are OTC and made by a very small manufacturer.

Sorry I can't help more, but that's all I can find.

Thanks

The size, color and makeup of these scream tummy trouble. 

Thanks for the Kmart lead, I may swing by and pick up a few things from there, including their brand of gas reliever.

The help is always appreciated!

Guardian Drug Company

Per CDER, the tablets are:

Calcium Carbonate (Antacid) Chew Tab 500 MG by Guardian (generic TUMS).

The G in Guardian's logo resembles the G imprint on the tablets

 

And here is the same logo from our Logo Image Gallery:
