Can someone please help me identify a pill.  It is pink/hot pink with P50 on one side and nothing on the other.  It is not scored on either side.

Thank you in advance.

I thought it might be that

I thought it might be that from first look but I was not sure.  My ex-wife was a prescription drug addict and these pills were hidden in a strange place.  From the description above it says "round" ...these pills are long and oval, does that make a difference as to what they are?  Are there any painkillers that come close to matching that description?  Thanks for the help.

P50

All I can find is exactly what Princess has found if the pill is a US pill.  There is nothing in the databases for an oblong pink tablet imprinted P50 yet the pill does exist.

I think this is a new imprint not yet documented, and I don't think it's an RX med.  Almost all US pills imprinted PX, PXX or PXXX are over-the-counter meds.  A few exceptions come to mind like a new propoxyphene combo (Balacet), Donnatal and a couple of Par imprints.

A poster on another board uploaded a picture of P50 in the oblong shape, and a poster confirmed it's generic Benadry (50 mg instead of 25 mg).  But I prefer to see confirmation in the databases. 

If you would like to see the image and read the thread, send me a private message ('view inbox' on your account tab), and I'll write back with the address.
