hello Friends,

Here's a riddle for you.  I'll tell you what's in the tablet, you tell me if there is such a thing.

This blue unmarked, single scored tablet has been analyzed and one of the best possibilities turns out to be a narcotic drug called Pholcodine.  It has been used in the past as a cough suppressant.

Here's the problem, I can't find anywhere that it comes in tablet form.  I think this is from Mexico.  Can someone with better search skills than I tell me if a Mexican (or any other source) company makes Pholcodine in a blue tablet form?

 Possible PholcodinePholcodine?: Possible Pholcodine

Thanks for any help.

this is a fun one

this is a fun one.  any other ingredients in it such as guifenesin or PPA? that info may help with search.

In the course of looking, I found pholcodine tablets by William R. Warner & Co. to be a currently registered product in Kenya.  Uh, okay, but I thought they dropped that company name in the 1950's when it became Warner-Lambert and then Pfizer???

Could this be China product?  China Aoxing does a lot with pholcodine and they have offices in Miami and Costa Rica.  I didn't dig up Miami phone number but this may be the current Costa Rica contact phone number:  +011 506-282-4160  (506 is country code).

Blue tab

hey Flounder,

Thanks for taking the time. 

Nothing else is showing up in this tablet, no guaifenesin, phenylpropanolamine (PPA), benzos or anything else my libraries can agree on.

I actually don't think it's pholcodine either, but I wanted to see if there was a tablet form out there before I zeroed in on something else.

I'll send you a PM if I narrow it down.

Thanks!
