A406

Round white tablet imprinted A 406 and double scored (+) on the back is not morphine.  The pill is 25 mg promethazine (generic Phenergan), an antihistamine that helps prevent nausea and motion sickness.

This particular pill is made by Able Labs.  The company recalled all of its pills in late May due to quality control reasons.  You can find the imprint on the FDA News Alert - http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/NEWS/2005/NEW01182.html

Thank You

Would it make a difference if the A was on top and the 406 on bottom. I found them in my Daughters room. Iam a bit relieved.

Most of Able's round tablets have the A above three numbers.  I am looking for a picture of this pill now.  So far no luck in the mainstream databases.  I do remember one image posted on another forum but it was fuzzy and green I think!  If I find it, I'll post it for you.

Well, the image is nice and clear but does look green.  You can find the picture here:
