Demerol/promethazine? Can't Find Picture To Confirm. (Top voted first)

I found a pill in my cabinet when I was cleaning it out (my husband was very ill for 2 years and I guess it got stowed away for some reason) and looked it up by imprint and I only found one answer and NO photos. I would like to confirm the answer was accurate; I don't know what this thing is! Description
Pill TABLET form, White and Round
ONE side has a capital A
The other side has 190

The only thing I found on the web that matched my description was that it is Meperidine 50mg/ Promethazine 25 mg. The answer had no photo.

As I searched I saw some ppl say this is generic Demerol with Phenergan? Please let me know if you have an answer. My husband was in severe pain with a bad illness for 2 years, so obviously with all his hospital stays and dr visits, it's hard for me to narrow down what it may be. There was certainly many different narcotic pain meds in the house, but there were also many many other prescriptions as they tried to narrow down his diagnosis. Thanks in advance.

Demerol with Promethazine in one pill is a dark, red capsule and is called Mepergan Fortis and is 50mg Demerol and 25mg Promethazine. It is not a white pill. They no longer make Mepergan Fortis. Demerol or generic meperidine is a very small, white, round pill and is 50mg. The markings on the pill depend on what brand the pill is. In conclusion, it is very unlikely that the pill you found is Demerol with Promethazine but could very possibly be Demerol 50mg.

To clear this up, the original poster was correct in her identification, the tablet in question was a generic for Mepergan that contains 50mgs of Meperidine and 25mgs of Promethazine.

This medication has the potential to be habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Are there any questions or comments?

Pharmaceuticals made a drug called Mepergan which was a pill combined with promethazine and mepiradine. Don't know what the reason they stopped making it and started giving them desperately. It's still the same thing you just found an old pill that I haven't seen in years.
