A211
  • GET HELP NOW - CALL 911, YOUR DOCTOR OR POISON CONTROL.
  • If you think you have a poisoning emergency, call 911.
  • If you are not sure it's urgent but need an answer now, call your doctor or call poison control at 1-800-222-1222.

Oblong yellow tablet imprinted A 211 is Pentazocine HCl, USP equivalent to 50 mg base and Naloxone, USP equivalent to 0.5 mg base (generic Talwin Nx made by Amide Pharmaceutical).

Info from Eckerd Drug Advisor:

PENTAZOCINE (Talwin® Nx) relieves moderate to severe pain. Pentazocine tablets also contain naloxone, which is included to deter the misuse of this medicine. Naloxone does not affect how pentazocine tablets work. Do not share this medicine with anyone else. Federal law prohibits the transfer of pentazocine to any person other than the patient for whom it was prescribed. Generic pentazocine tablets are available.

just tell him to take 1 at a time. they are a really strong painkiller. if he is truly in pain he should feel lucky to have them i would love to have them for my back surgeries.
