What is a pink oval pill scored down the middle and 250 on back of pill with nothing on the scored side? ## I'm fairly certain this is an old erythromycin pill, 250mg. It is an antibiotic used to treat infection. Side effects include diarrhea, headache, dizziness, among others. ## It is hard to say, there is a pill from Canada, with just the 250 marking that is described as a peach color, and it is Divalproex Sodium, an anticonvulsant, and there is an American tablet made by Usher Smith called Slo-Niacin, which is 250mgs of the vitamin Niacin. ## I was able to find the old erythromycin and am fairly confident thats what it is but one certainly cant be one hundred per cent sure without seeing the thing huh? ## Yes, there are nuances as to the pill size and shape, that you just don...

We have found that many have gotten the subject line incorrect, thinking their pill was one thing and it was something completely different. ## No idea, but if that is all they post, then I just provi...

why dose amoxicillin cause difficulty breathing ## Because you are allergic to it. Stop taking it immediately and see your doctor.
