I recently found a couple very small pink pills with a P on one side and nothing on the other. They are round in shape. ## Hi Alicia, I have identified your pill as Pepcid complete; which contains (800 mg) of calcium carbonate/ (10 mg) of famotidine/ and (165 mg) of magnesium hydroxide. Pepcid Complete is an OTC medication that belongs to the drug class H2 antagonists and is used in the treatment of GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease). It works by blocking some of the signals that tell your stomach to produce acid. Manufacturer: Johnson and Johnson/Merck Consumer National Drug Code (NDC): 16837-0291 You can learn more about this drug on the page for Pepcid Complete Details I hope this helps!

Small round pink pill with the letter P on one side. There are no other markings. ## There are a couple possible ID's for this pill, based on the description provided. Although there may be more, the one's I located are manufactured in the US. The first match is identified as Pepcid complete (calcium carbonate 800 mg + famotidine 10 mg + magnesium hydroxide 165 mg). The "P" imprint on this pill is clearly a P and not a B. The other possible match I found is the same pill except that it's a children's version with only 400mgs of calcium carbonate. I cannot locate a photo of this one though. There is one other round pink pill marked "B", that is identified as Children's benadryl allergy fastmel 19mg. It is manufacturered by Pfizer U.S. Pharmaceuticals G...
