Mysterious round blue ABUG pill-nobody has been able to identify it??Mysterious round blue pill, nobody has been able to identify this pill. Not sure if it says ABUG or ABUC? Please advise if your familiar with this image below, Thank-you.
( categories: Pill Identification )
Thanks for the photo. This
Thanks for the photo. This has been posted recently and
thought to possibly be a diet pill from Mexico. This is only a theory
however since info on foreign meds is often difficult to obtain. I
believe this is the first photo of the pill that has been posted
anywhere, and it may be helpful. I am sure that Kirby will be glad to
see it. The other post can be found here. http://www.pharmer.org/node/2552 (if the link doesn't work, type "ABUG" in the search block at the very top right corner of this page and you will find the link)
ABUG Image
Nice image and cool logo. Thanks. Incognito is right - foreign
meds are really hard to identify. Many foreign manufacturers use
the same logo on all their pills - and nothing else to differentiate
one medicine from another. I can't find a website for ABUG, but here are some of the company's products: ABUGLIB. Hipoglucemiante. Tabletas.. ABUG These products all come in tablet form, so your pill could be one of these. Or it might be something else the company makes that isn't listed above. Sorry that we can't ID your pill. I'm

Who wants to bet these are diet pills? Pill Identification
ABUG is mfgr. They make sinpet fentermine. Yellow box and Blue box both come in 30 mg. Pill is stamped ABUG, not ABUC. The yellow box works best, take 1 pill at noon and you don't feel hungry throughout the rest of the day. 1st 1 or 2 hours mouth fell a little dry. You can purchase in Mexico @ around $30.00 USD for 30 pills. I purchase mine from a pharmacy in Tecate and they ship by USPO. November 17. 2006 DC
That being said, there
That being said, there still isn't any way to positively ID the pill. We can offer a list of meds that mfg makes (which has been done above), but not an ID. I will quote Kirby who cited me and said: Quote: Incognito is right - foreign meds are really hard to identify. Many foreign manufacturers use the same logo on all their pills - and nothing else to differentiate one medicine from another. No Identification Yet
No, the small blue pill imprinted ABUG has not been identified yet. And it probably never will be definitively identified. As we said before: Quote: Incognito is right - foreign meds are really hard to identify. Many foreign manufacturers use the same logo on all their pills - and nothing else to differentiate one medicine from another.
It's possible the company makes many meds that are small, round light blue tablets imprinted ABUG. I'm not a pharmacist or a medical doctor.

Just to add my to cents here.... The way most foreign manufacturers differintiate between all their products that look the same is they print the information on the foil of the blister packs that this come in. Wiithout the foil, we'll never know as there can be multiple products with that imprint,shape,color and size. Just to add my two cents as
Just to add my two cents as well, this is why I actually like the way the US does our prescriptions. It's a lot easier to say "what does the tablet say" than "go out to the trash and dig up that blister pack, what does it say" Even though a lot of people have commented on how nice the blister packs are, and I concede I can see some advantages, there is always the question of people who count their meds out on a weekly basis. If you pop the medicine out of the blister pack, and put it in the weekly container, (the ones that have the lids with MTWTF written on each box) what happens when you find that box after a vacation 3 years later? Same thing applies with US medicine, but at least there is an imprint to help identify. Gtrplayer Sinpet
The pill is Sinpet* Mexican "Fentermina" if its blue its a 30mg tablet. You can purchase it in Mexico (Cozumel) for 42 us dollars for 30 tabs...some of the farmicia's will not sell it, others however will. Its a diet pill compared to Phentermine in the US. Blue Pill
I have taken this pill before, in fact i took it for 3 months (feb 07- April07) and lost 22 pounds. It is in fact a diet pill and it is from Mexico. I wanted to do some research on it to find out more, but it looks like there's no solution to this pill yet. Scary! But I have taken it and lost a huge amount of weight...and luckily have be able to keep it off. |
