I have found some capsules that my son had. They are brown on one side and yellow on the other and have  RX655 stamped on both sides. Can anyone identify these for me. Thank you.

RX655

Maroon and yellow capsule imprinted RX 655 is 500 mg amoxicillin, an antibiotic.

You can see an image of this capsule at Drug Digest.

To my knowledge antibiotics

To my knowledge antibiotics cannot be abused in the traditional sense of the word, as in... they will not get you messed up if you take them and dont need them.

However one problem with taking an antibiotic if you dont need it is that you can make your body create a tolerance to it and it wont work as well when you actually need the drug to fight an infection or something.

Just my two cents,

I suppose it would be possible to put something else in an innocent looking antibiotic capsule.
