I found a white oval pill marked 10. Other side has a diamond on it. Anyone know what this is?

Bextra
I'd like to comment that Bextra was withdrawn from the US market on
April 7, 2005, due to the potential for serious adverse effects such as
an increased risk of heart attacks and possible fatal skin
reactions. More info at http://www.pharmer.org/node/801

This pill is VALDECOXIB (Bextra®), a drug used to reduce inflammation and ease mild to moderate pain for such conditions as arthritis or painful menstrual cycles. Generic valdecoxib tablets are not available.
