someone gave it to me and told me that it is Niacin, there is absolutely nothing on the pill. It is smooth on both sides. ## If there is no imprint, it is going to be very difficult to narrow down what this is. We can rule it out as being a U.S. prescription medication, since they all must have markings to enable their identification. However, it could be an over the counter item or even a foreign medication. Many supplements look like this, including Niacin and have no markings. Was it given to you by someone who obtained it in the U.S.?
