Watson 780

From an earlier post by incognito:

Your pill is Sucralfate 1 Gm (Carafate®)

helps to treat or prevent the recurrence of stomach or duodenal (intestinal) ulcers.

 Kinda weird this pill came

 Kinda weird this pill came up. I ID'd this pill for a friend in the Detroit area that was trying to get them passed off to him as a "new Lorcet 10/650" made by watson. These pills have a somewhat similar shape and color, I think the Sucralates are a little bigger though.
