Mystery Pill!!! May Not Be From U.s... Please Help!

A friend recently found a pill at her house that she asked me to help her identify. I have checked through my pharmaceutical "Drug Handbook," looked all over the net, and spoke with a pharmacist, all with no luck. The pharmacist said that there database showed no such pill or anything close. Weird huh? The pill is a SOLID WHITE TABLET, it seems to have a slight wax coating (not powdery), & deeply scored on both sides. The shape is oblong or rectangle with rounded edges, much like a Lortab. The ONLY inscription is 1 2 on the front (numbers separated by the score), and nothing on the back. I've never been unable to identify a medication before, so I am thinking it may be from Mexico or somewhere else. She has children and is concerned, and now it's bugging the heck out of me, so I would greatly appreciate your help!!

I believe the marking you're looking at is actually meant to be a capital i followed by a 2 and this tablet contains 200mgs of Ibuprofen, it's a generic or store brand of Motrin.

Since this is an over the counter dosage, that's why you didn't find in your drug book and why the pharmacist didn't find it, OTC products aren't required to list their imprints with the FDA.

You can learn more Ibuprofen details here.

Is there anything else I can help with?

This is definitely not an ibuprofen, and it is for sure a 1 on the inscription. That's why it's been a problem to identify...
