Not sure...

I can't seem to find this imprint in any of the databases that I have access to.  I'm guessing it is an OTC or a supplement type of pill.  It would be great if you could upload the photo.  Sometimes, just seeing the logo will help us narrow down the search to certain manufacturers.

HRM Capsule

I can't find this imprint in the databases either.  So I tend to agree with mitomac that it's an OTC supplement.  One company does use the HR imprint on a few of its supplements, but I can't find anything including the "M".

If you can upload an image of the capsule showing the imprint clearly, that would be great.  If you can't get a pic of the entire capsule, just the imprint letters HRM will be good too.

Thanks.

HMR not HRM

Thanks for the great pic oprichnina!  From the pic though, I can see that the imprint is HMR and not HRM.  This is why pics can be so useful.  Originally, I had thought it might have been an OTC or "Over The Counter" nutrional supplement.  Many net companies sell a myriad of products for a wide range of potential uses (energy, sexual perfomance, weight gain, weight loss, you name it).  One of these companies used to use HR in all of its products and that was what I was originally thinking of.

But now that we know the imprint is HMR, we can narrow down the search.  In a database I have access to, two canadian divisions of pharmaceutical companies (Aventis and Biovail) market pills using the imprint HMR.  At the moment I can't find this exact capsule.  But I think we have narrowed down the search.  Is it likely that this pill might be Canadian?

Aventis Canada

Hi Oprichnina,

I'm now fairly certain that this pill is Canadian and  most likely marketed by  Sanofi-Aventis in Canada.  Here is a page describing their products.  Unfortunately, they don't have imprint descriptions, but they do have a toll free number for inquiries of this nature.

Aventis Customer Service line at 1-800-265-7927

Good luck! and please don't forget to let us know what the pill is!

DID YOU EVER FIND OUT ABOUT THIS PILL?

Hello,

We found a similar pill in our manufacturing facility in Mexico. We would like to know if you were able to identify the pill?

We would appreciate you answering back to my post

 

thanks.

I also need to identify this pill

Hey , I found exactly that pill in my son´s bedroom and I haven´t been able to identify it.  I know it is from Aventis. It says 30 mg.  It is packed in foil and I live in Mexico, so I suppose it was bought here. It is about 1 cm. long and says HMR exactly as the one in the picture.  Please help me identify it.  My son is worried about his weight.  Could this be a weight-loosing pill?

could this be asenlix?

I found out that there is a med in Mexico that is banned in USA that is call Asenlix, is from Aventis and is a 30 mg. pill, but I can´t find a picture anywhere. Somebody knows Aselix. It is for weight control but seems dangerous

Asenlix

Thanks for the positive ID of the HMR capsule, maguisol.

Asenlix is banned in the US and apparently the EU.  Here is a little more info from the SOUTHWESTERN ASSOCIATION OF TOXICOLOGISTS, GALVESTON, TEXAS:
 

CLOBENZOREX: FIRST SUBMISSION TO HARRIS COUNTY MEDICAL EXAMINERS OFFICE

Shrey Reach, Charles N. Moore, and Ashraf Mozayani, Pharm. D., Ph.D., D-ABFT
Office of the Harris County Medical Examiner
(email addresses removed)

Clobenzorex (Asenlix, Finedal, Rexigen) is an N-substituted derivative of amphetamine used since 1970 as an appetite suppressant. The drug is supplied as the hydrochloride salt of the D-(+)-enantiomer in 30 mg capsules for oral administration. It is manufactured in Mexico, but banned in the European and United States markets. Clobenzorex is metabolized via N-dealkylation to D-(+)-amphetamine. Two thousand seven hundred and forty-two unmarked green and white capsules weighing 562.72 gm. were seized from a twenty year-old white female by a Harris County law enforcement agency and submitted to the Controlled Substance Laboratory for analysis.

The capsules were analyzed by chemical spot tests, ultraviolet and infrared spectrophotometry and gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy. This presentation will discuss the physical properties of clobenzorex and its identification in the submitted capsules.

 

Unfortunately I couldn't find the results of the 2002 FALL MEETING.
