can you measure it?
it'd be really nice if you could upload a picture, preferredly with a ruler next to it, if not it may help to measure it and give the dementions. i know for instance some otc calcium pills are huge, almost egg shaped

def right on the imprint
they are round, scored, and 3/4 of an inch in diameter, they are huge. i dont have a scanner, so sorry i cant get you a picture. just to confirm the imprint, it goes like this, WW over a score and 462 under the score, and nothing on the other side, thanks for any help and the research already done. but i just measured it and it is definitly 3/4, (3 quarters) of an inch in diameter.

can't come up with anything
sorry, due to the size of the pill i was thinking some kind of vitamin or supplement, but i can't find anything with that imprint either. you may have to wait until kirby or gtrplayer come across this thread... did you find it in any sort of Rx bottle, or was it just loose? blister pack?

it was in a bottle
my girlfriend has a horrible toothache, and a hole in her gums just underneath the tooth, and one of her fathers longtime friend and costomer of her resturant gave them to her for pain, not that she was actually gonna take it, but she said it was in a bottle that said buprenorphine, which i dont think it is because of the size and have never seen a buprenorphine pill by itself, only suboxone, and the camera i have is horrible and cant focus in on it to see the imprint, but its just a round pill with WW with a score underneath and 462 under the score, its pretty plain, but it is huge. just curious as to what it is. thanks, by the way, i never take someone elses medicine even if i know what it is, ive some bad things happen to good people because of it and i am going to flush them as soon as i find out what they are, i guess its a hobby for me, but anyway sorry for the long post and thanks for any info

What country are you in?
What country are you in? The only available oral products in the US that contain Buprenorphine are Suboxone and Subutex. And those pills are deffinately not marked WW 462. In the US WW almost always indicates West-Ward Pharmaceuticals actually it only indicates West-Ward and they dont have an imprint 462. I know this isnt your pill, but do the WW's look like this? Or are the stylised?

Makes sense why they where
Makes sense why they where so hard to find. And you are right they are for animal use only. Drugs.com has them listed under the name brand Bupactin. I guess West-Ward could make them for Apical Pharmaceuticals.

WW 462
Fantastic job, guys.
Flounder, thanks for the ID. And solo5010, thanks for the confirmation. Great team work and a job perfectly done.
I puzzled about this one and couldn't find a thing. Nothing that big can be swallowed. So I figured it was something chewable. Not!
When I saw flounder's statement I almost fell out of my chair laughing:

Too funny!
And true.
Thanks!

Are you sure about the imprint?
