I found a pill in my sons room its pink maybe tanish round one ones side it has a "K" then its scored then a "2" and there is nothing on the back. So the front looks like (K | 2) and nothing on the back. Can anyone help me find out what this is? ## This tablet contains 12.5mgs of Promethazine, it is an antihistamine that is commonly used to treat or prevent nausea and vomiting. Common side effects can include: drowsiness, dry mouth, constipation and irritability. More details: Were these prescribed for him?

We bought a package of OTC cold medicine, and somehow we lost the box. It was a multipack, daytime and nighttime. One set is oblong and blue with 44 485, the other is small round and red with 44 453. My husband is at work and wants to take one, but he is a roofer and cannot get drowsy. Can anyone tell me which is which? ## The blue on with the 44 485 on it contains 10mgs of Phenylephrine and 25mgs of Diphenyhydramine, so it is the nighttime one, because the Diphenyhydramine causes drowsiness. The red one, with the 44 453 only contains 10mgs of Phenyelphrine, a decongestant, so it is the daytime pill. Are there any other comments or questions?

amlodipine/benazepril 5/10 capsule information ## Ever since my husband starting taking this medication he has had insomnia. Dr. says the medicine is not the cause. I tend to disagree. ## It is not a normal side effect of this class of medications, however, medications do affect different people in different ways. It may be causing his problem or it may not, there is no way for us to know for sure. He really needs to get some advice or treatment options from his doctor to try to get to the root of the problem. ## Been on this medicine for almost a month and now I have developed a chronic cough. Is that due to taking this medicine?

My boyfriend has had some severe sinus allergies. He has taken Sudephed PE, Wal-Phed and generic Benedryl, which none have worked. The other day he got Zyrtec Allergy in 10 mg 14 Tablets and has been working but he the only thing he complains about are these headaches. He didn't have them before he took the tablets. I have researched the drug ever since we got the stuff and no side effects of headaches were found in adult but it was found in the childrens side effects. He doesn't understand why he has the headaches. Is it the tablets working? Today, he said that he could smell a lot more and is feeling a little better. I am just concerned why he is having this symptom when clearly he did not have it before taking them. ## Zyrtec contains the active ingredient Cetirizine and if y...

is it a sleeping pill? ## GENERIC NAME: diphenhydramine BRAND NAME: Benadryl The DIPHENHYDROMINE is a generic drug often used for sleep.

I've seen a lot of questions online about a while oval or elliptical pill, scored deeply in the middle with M on one side and 27 on the other. This is Stahist,and is used for the temporary relief of runny/stuffy nose, watery/itchy eyes, and itchy throat caused by allergies, hay fever, the common cold, and other breathing illnesses. This product is usually not used for ongoing cough from smoking or long-term breathing problems (such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema) unless directed by your doctor. The decongestant treats nasal congestion by narrowing the blood vessels in the nose. The antihistamine relieves itchy/watery eyes and itchy throat by blocking a substance (histamine) released by allergies. The anticholinergic dries up a runny nose and the fluid that runs down your throat ca...
