Hi to you both. David, Jake posted the right description. And David, you are absolutely correct, the crescent is the Actavis Pharma logo. The pill you found Jake is a 60 mg morphine sulfate extended release and that generic model is made by the Actavis Pharma Company. The size and shape of the crescent imprint shows which Actavis plant the pill was made. If the crescent looks like a D, then it was manufactured at the Actavis Elizabeth LLC and if it looks more like a moon, the pill was manufactured at the Actavis Totowa LLC plant located at Little Falls, NJ. Actavis was once ranked in the top 3 in 12 global markets, the top 5 in 16 global markets, and in the top 10 in 33 global markets. Actavis also develops and out-licenses generic pharmaceutical products outside the U.S. through its Medis third-party business, the world's largest generic pharmaceutical out-licensing business. Medis has more than 300 customers globally, and offers a broad portfolio of more than 200 products. Actavis, plc is also developing biosimilars products in oncology and other therapeutic categories, and currently has a portfolio of five biosimilar products in development. Actavis, plc has more than 40 manufacturing and distribution facilities around the world, with a capacity of approximately 40 billion units annually. Actavis Global Operations also includes Anda, Inc., the fourth-largest U.S. generic pharmaceutical product distributor in the United States. In November of 2012, Watson Pharmaceuticals bought Actavis for 4.25 billion euro, who then adopted Actavis as it's official name. In November 2014, Actavis then acquired the company known as Allergen, the Botox maker, for the hefty sum of $70.5 billion american dollars. In June 2015, once the merger was complete, Actavis then changed it's name to Allergen. In July 2015, Allergen decided to sell it's generic drug pharmaceuticals to Teva Pharmaceuticals for $33.75 billion in cash and $6.75 billion in shares in Teva, which is now the 15th largest pharmaceutical company in the world.

Sorry for the long story, but I find it interesting how drug companies acquire each other, and to cover it up, change the names of their companies to the ones that they bought and merged with, usually a lesser corporation. I believe everyone should know what type of drug they have in their hand before they take it. They should know the side effects, signs of overdose, and if their are any reactions you should watch out for or other drugs you shouldn't use while purveying any drug in particular, and also where that drug comes from. Just because you have to take drugs to make yourself better doesn't mean that you should take anything blindly, especially in this world, where f***ed up s*** always seems to happen.

Hi Jake,

I noticed that you put two different pill descriptions in your post. Is each description intended for two separate tablets?

While I haven't been able to locate any close matches, I can say that Actavis is more than likely the manufacturer who makes this. They embed a half moon (crescent moon) logo on many of their tablets, along with a set of numbers on the opposite side.

If you have a moment, I'd encourage you to contact Actavis directly to verify that this is something they make. You can reach their U.S. Customer Relations department at +1 (800) 272-5525

I hope this helps! Please post back if you end up getting an answer from them.
