I've had so much trouble finding out what this pill is. i wish i had a picture to post but i'm technically challenged (if u consider that to be technical).  I wish I could offer an easier way to view the logo but it takes less than 30 seconds.

1. go to http://www.drugid.info/cgi-bin/pill-identification.cgi

2. Click on the word "Click" (in big blue letters and underlined) right before the words "to see if we have your pill".

3. Choose the 4th option which says "expert search with logo"

4. Find "C 5" on the table they provide. that's what the logo looks like.

 

This should be pretty funny if all this work produces the resulting identification of extra strength vitamin C or something.

 

Thanks for the help!

DP 521

Great instructions on finding the logo! It was cinch!

DP 521 is Prochlorperazine Maleate, a round orange tablet made by Barr Laboratories. (Active Ingredients: prochlorperazine maleate 5 mg).  An anti-nausea drug.

Here is the image of the 10 mg variety.  Note the different color and imprint, but the logo is the same.
