Hi Allena,

To answer your question, the imprint "E 8 5" on a white Elliptical / Oval pill is identified as Penicillin V potassium (500 mg).

Dosage and administration however, are dependent upon the type of infection and how severe it is; but you can view more details on this by following the link below:

I hope this helps!
