I found this pill amongst many others and would like to know if somone could identify it

 

This is the pill in comparison to a penny on a sheet of notebook paper.
There are no markings on it at all, but there seems to be maybe an Extended-release type of outer coating.
I was informed it was generic form of oxycodone and acetaminophan/aspirin.
Can anyone help with the identification? thankyou

No Way to Identify

Sorry, but it's not possible to identify a pill that has no imprints.

All US prescription, homeopathic and over-the-counter medications are required by law to have unique identifiers.

Many vitamins, supplements and foreign drugs don't have imprints, so it's possible the pill you found might be one of these.

Not Acyclovir

It's not Zovirax or acyclovir (generic Zovirax) marketed in the US.

Maybe it's foreign acyclovir.  But without an imprint it's impossible to positively identify the pill.

Sorry.
