Capsule With Black Powder

I found black capcels of my husbands when I opened it there was black powder inside I flushed powder down toilet and it became like a long piece of black string ## Hi mandie, Due to the nature of the capsule, I don't believe you have a prescription medication. In the U.S., all prescription medications are required to have an imprint for identification purposes. Unless your husband takes medication that you don't know of, this capsule is likely to be one of the following: diet, energy, herbal, vitamin. Otherwise it could be illicit or foreign. I recommend that you share your concerns with your husband and ask him if he knows anything about the capsules. Do you have any more questions?

I found a clear capsule wth black sticky powder in my sons bag. The powder sticks together & the capsule is clear with nothing on it. Need to know asap. ## If there are no markings on it, it is going to be difficult to determine what it contains. We can rule it out as being a U.S. prescription medication, because they are all required to have markings to enable their identification. However, it could be any one of a large number of over the counter items, there is also a small chance that it could be a foreign medication. Does anyone have any ideas? ## I am constantly finding black capsules hidden between the bathroom sink, my room mate is a drunk, could she be abusing pills too? It's super black and i have seen it a lot of times when i am cleaning. ## That's heroin... ## Pl...

this capsule has no identifying marks ## Hello, Duby! How are you? If there are no markings, then we can rule it out as being a prescription medication, since they are required by law to have markings to enable their identification. The only exception would be something done by a compounding pharmacy, but they use plain capsules. That means that this is most likely an over the counter product. I'll keep looking and post back, when I have information for you. Does anyone else recognize this capsule?

My ex gave me a capsule that was green and black with powder in it. The capsule looked tampered with so I didn't take it but I'm wondering if it was adderall or not? ## Are there any markings on it? If not, then it is not a legal U.S. manufactured medication. The FDA requires them to all have unique markings to enable their identification, in case of emergency. If there are no markings on it, it is most likely an over the counter product, although it might be something specially ordered by a doctor that was made by a compounding pharmacy, or it could be a foreign medication. I also have to add that, in most cases, compounding pharmacies use plain clear capsules, because they are much cheaper than colored capsules. The FDA warns that Adderall carries the risk of being habit formi...

Hello, I found these very strange clear tiny glass capsules with white powder in them, and I can't identify what it is. Here's what I do know: the capsules have numbers on them, and the only other marking is on the black cap that has a little heart rate symbol on it. They come in around a 12 pack with just a white container, no name, markings, or anything. It's very similar to what BIO-tropin, the steroid thats injected, comes in. However, the white powdery substance on the inside is almost stuck together; if i try flipping the capsule over the powder doesnt fall to the bottom, which is different than the BIO-tropin which is a loose consistency. The last piece of info is that the bottle appears to not be able to open, like BIO-tropin, where it has an area under the cap to stick

Is this actually generic Ritalin? I have looked online everywhere and since there is no other imprint I've had no luck.. Please help! ## Based on my research, there aren't any Ritalin capsules (of any dosage) that come close to this description. Where did you get the pill from? It sounds to me like an illicit, foreign, or fake tablet; for if it were real and US made, you would at least be able to Google it. However I'm not sure if other countries also make this brand of methylphenidate. Has anyone else come across this pill? ## Get a drug panel from CVS - one wth amphetamines. Add some of the powder & some luke warm water to see if it comes up as an amphetamine.

Is this actually generic Ritalin?? I have looked online everywhere and since there is no other imprint I've had no luck.. Please help! ## I'm sorry, but I haven't had any luck finding it any of the pill identifier databases that I've checked, either. Do you have any idea where it's from? Such as the U.S. or possibly from a foreign source? Does anyone else recognize this capsule? ## Im guessing they are from out of the country or something because they are my sisters and she all of a sudden got something completely different. She has also been told some new medications dont have manufacturer imprints on them anymore? So that would make sense but I've been searching high and low with no luck.. Literally just a clear capsule, white powder NOT beads, with an imprint ...

Found a clear capsule, filled with a tan/light brown thick powder.. smells like black liquorice.. there are no markings to identify..a friend told me it was Adderall 30mg & it came from Walgreens... Can someone please tell me what it is? ## My thoughts are, if this really was a genuine 30mg Adderall capsule from Walgreens, it would be required by law to bear markings or an imprint of some kind. The FDA mandates this for all prescription drugs. So my personal opinion is that whom ever you received this capsule from saying it's a product of Walgreens is not an honest person at all and should not be trusted in the very least. The reality is that this capsule could contain virtually anything from A to Z. Because there is no adequate way to identify it outside of a lab analysis (whic...

About 3/4 inches dark brown almost black powder. White capsule. ## Hi Brynn, I see that no one has been able to find an ID for this pill yet. Whereabouts did you obtain it from if you don't mind my asking? The description seems to fit that of a typical dietary or herbal supplement of some sort. However, without a marking this could really be anyone's best guess. Have you considered getting the contents analyzed by a lab for verification? I would assume that this would be the best way to determine what it is, being that there are no other traceable-variables to go off of like you'd find on normal prescriptions (at least here in the US).

Found a black capsule pill with brown powder inside. No markings. Don't know what it is. Husband has it. He is already hooked on pot and booze. ## Hi Kim, From an outside perspective there's probably no way to know for sure what it might be without having a lab or drug panel to analyze the contents... However my theory from experience is that it sounds like an herbal supplement or illicit substance of some kind. I realize relationships can be challenging at times and people get married for different reasons, but why wont your own husband just tell you the truth without you having to guess and be in a constant state of worry? A real husband should care. I'm sorry you have to be in such a predicament, but without honesty and communication I wonder how you even live together? I...

capsule half dark red half black no markings ## found a red and black capsule with no markings my daughter says a jumping bean came in it but is the size of a pill. i soaked in water and the capsule turned rubbery ## Without markings, there's no way to confirm it with certainty, but online searching does turn up a type of jumping bean that meets this description. They are actually called Red Magic Beans and several of them come in a pack, the item inside, of course, is a jumping bean. Thus, it is possible that someone just took the actual bean out of the capsule. Are there any comments or questions? ## What exactly is it because the one I have found has a brown powder in it? ## So what exactly is this red and black capsule I have found? It's half dark red and half black and cont...

Hi, I work in home renovation, and come across many errant pills. Normally it takes minutes to find out what they are. The capsule is marked with the Lederle LL or symbol (cannot tell which, almost looks like a £€ but together) followed by 10 on each half of the capsule, mirrored except the numbers don't switch. The capsule itself is fairly large, about the size of a 500 mg antibiotic, black and teal, and contains a powder that is white with a yellowish tint. It looks just like some 10mg Librium, but much larger. I know they have products like that in india, but I can find no record of this pill being sold from ESI Lederle. It is really bothering me, so if you can help identify this preferably with pictures or citations, I would be very thankful.

looking for input on a grey and red capsule with balls inside no markings on outside ## 1/2 red 1/2 grey capsule with Black powder inside. I got dizzy,nauseous,feel weak. They said its pennicillin,..is it? ## Hello romie, Unfortunately without having an imprint on the pill there is no way for me to verify the contents of the pill. What I can tell you is that the pill is not a prescription medication as the FDA requires all controlled medication to have an imprint or marking on them for tracking and verification purposes in the event of emergencies. The pill could be a vitamin, supplement, dietary pill, candy or an illegal substance. Realistically it could be anything as empty capsules like this can be bought in bulk and then filled with anything. What you can do if you really need to kn...

A clear capsule with blue powder and no markings or imprints ## I found a jar of clear capsules with a black band. It has no markings, but has black and blue little pills inside of it. It may also have clear liquid. ## I found what seems to be the same pill at my workplace. It is a clear capsule containing a clear liquid inside. Floating in the liquid contents are about 12 small blue and black beads. The capsule is sealed on the outside with a black band along the seam where the two capsule halves meet. There are no other markings of any kind. Any idea what sort of drug or supplement this is?

The capsule is blue and light gray or off white. The blue section of the capsule has a black V printed on it. The gray or off white section of the capsule has 3109 in black printed on it. The capsule appears to contain a white powder. ## What is this pill called ? ## This tablet contains 30mgs of Codeine, 50mgs of Butalbital, 40mgs of Caffeine and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, this is a generic for Fioricet with Codeine. This medication is generally used to treat severe migraines. Some of the most common side effects include: drowsiness, nausea, dry mouth and constipation. ## What if someone insufflated the v3109, would it be a health hazard? Worried about my brother. ## It'd be very harmful for your brother, i would tell him to stay away from it.

I can't get my RX for hydromorphone filled anywhere so had it compounded. A tech was showing the pharmacist how to compound it while I waited, so I opened one up to check it when I got home and it had black specks looking like pepper mixed into the white powder. Any explanations? I will not take the caps till I find out what is in them. ## Hello, Nicky! How are you? Most likely, it's just a filler or something they used in the compounding process, but the only person who can give you a definitive answer is the pharmacist that compounded it for you. Don't worry about going in and asking, they are used to getting questions like yours and shouldn't hesitate to help you. The FDA lists this medication as being a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming ...
