Hi - new member here for about 2 weeks.  Need to know what 4 pills are.  I tried to find out myself with the tools at http://www.mit.edu/~davidm/ but cannot find the pills.  I wanted to try the 2 forums but 1 is not working right now.  Maybe someone here can help me.  I think I know what 2 pills are but do not know the other 2.

  1. White oval with a bisect.  Marked C on 1 side of the bisect and N on the other side.  Plain on other side.
  2. Blue round Nylan A1 one side and a bisect on other side.
  3. Light purple oval pill marked Upjohn 90.  Bisect on back.
  4. White round marked 0636.  Back has bisect.

I think #3 is xanax but how strong is this pill?

#4 is supposed to be percoset but I am not sure.  Maybe someone can help me please.  Thank you for your time.

Four Pills

Hi Terry and welcome to Pharmer.org.

We will do all we can to help, but I think three of these pills are not US meds. This makes identification a little more difficult. So please bear with us while we try to ID them.

Oval white tablet imprinted C N (score line between the C and N) is 20 mg Celexa (citalopram), an SSRI antidepressant. This is a Canadian imprint, not US. It's possible the same imprint is used in some countries, but I think the imprint differs around the world, so it's really hard to be sure.

So far I can't find Nylan A1. Could the imprint possibly read Mylan A1? If so, it's 1 mg alprazolam, generic Xanax. Here is an image of Mylan A1:

from the Mylan website at http://www.mylanpharms.com

Oval lavender tablet imprinted Upjohn 90 is 1 mg Xanax (alprazolam). Pharmer.org has a picture of this pill in the Foreign Drug Image Gallery.

Your last pill imprinted 0636 has come up on another board several times. A couple of posters said it is Percocet. I can't confirm this information. If I remember correctly, all the posters were from Canada. I'll keep looking and will let you know if I find anything. Take care and I hope we helped. I'll revert if I find anything definite about the round white tablet imprinted 0636.

Nylan

Great job Kirby! I just wanted to give the original poster some more support on the pill that he posted as Nylan. I would agree that it is probably Mylan instead. Sometimes it's tough to read that small imprint on a pill that size!

Thank you

Thank you for all your help everyone.  The blue pill is the same one that I have.  Sorry for my mistake but it is hard to read.  If anyone finds out more about the pill with 0636 please let me know.

Endocet - Imprint 0636

Okay, Terry, we finally found out that the white tablet imprinted 0636 is Endocet (generic Percocet).  Note the second paragraph from Ratiopharm, Canada:

Quote:
Each white tablet, scored on one side, with the Endo logo on the other, contains 5 mg of oxycodone and 325 mg of acetaminophen. Nonmedicinal ingredients: include cornstarch, microcrystalline cellulose, povidone, pregelatinized starch, silicone dioxide, and stearic acid. This medication does not contain lactose, sodium, or tartrazine.

White to off-white, biconvex tablets, one side embossed with “0636” and the other side bisected, were introduced in 2002.

 Hope this helps!

Thank you again for all the help.  I'm relieved to know what "0636" really is!
