Light green color barrel shape. 44-454 on it. ## I haven't been able to find a listing for this exact pill, but I can tell you that it is an over the counter product that is manufactured by LNK International. From the description, this may be their 2mg Loperamide tablets, which are a generic for Imodium, but they don't list the marking, so I am not certain. Does anyone else recognize this tablet?
