I was digging through some old things in my basement and found some mysterious meds with the labels faded.

1. Small white tablet - scored on one side - side with scoring has numbers "42 50" on it. Side not scored has an "R"

2. Capsule - Half blue with cursive lettering ( Maybe "Jves" or "Ives" ? ) - half light gray with numbers "4170"

3. Small, bright yellow capsule with no lettering

4. Orange triangular tablets - one side scored - other side has lettering SKF E19 on it

 

Thanks! :)

Solo5010,

Thanks.

But does anyone know what the blue and gray capsules could be?

Ives 4170

Hi gerald,

I've checked all my sources and found nothing.

But Google has a reference to a lawsuit between Ives Laboratories and Inwood Laboratories dated in year 1982:

Lawsuit info

So Ives existed 25 years ago and the company did make at least two meds in capsule form and the numbering system is certainly consistent - 4XXX.

Unless someone else is well versed in really old meds, this might be all we find.

I'm not a pharmacist or a medical doctor. This message is not medical advice nor is it an offer to provide medical advice. All drug identifications should be validated by a licensed MD or pharmacist.

4170 is oddball

The Ives 4170 grey capsule is an Ives product - Synalgos-DC.  It is an oddball.  It is dihydrocodeine and other ingredients (see below).  NOTE that this is NOT hydrocodone (dihydrocodeinone) but is dihydrocodeine. 

Dihydrocodeine 16mg

Promethazine 6.25mg

Aspirin 194.4mg

Caffeine 30mg

Yellow capsule with no

Yellow capsule with no lettering is unidentifiable as it could be anything.

Check with a licensed MD before you take any suggestions!
