It's just small white round and says 'ultra' on one side and the other side just has a preforated line to break in half Every time I go to Mexico mi suegra gives me all these pills for anything from anti bitoics to allergies etc. I don't know what any of them are for ## Hi, Sarita! Mexico really doesn't have any strict regulatory agency for medications, so they aren't tracked, they aren't required to log imprints anywhere and etc. The best suggestion I can make is that the next time they give them to you, perhaps mark down what they say each is and what it's for….or just dispose of them, after you leave. Does anyone recognize the one that's been mentioned? ## I got a round lime green pill that says ultra on one side and the other is a line throu...

Found this pill with RA1015 on one side and is + scored on the back, any help would be much appreciated! ## Hi Buck, Do you also know what color this pill is supposed to be? From your description, the closest match I see on the internet is a 500mg Levetiracetam tablet, which only carries the "1015" part of your imprint.

Although depending on where or who you got it from, another theory is that it may be something that was manufactured outside of the US. Reason I say this is because no other apparent matches come up under popular US search engines, where you can typically find most medications listed that are...
