I found an oblong pill with the imprint 51 on it. It's kind of like the marroonish color of an advil..I have done a Google search and can't seem to find any info. If anyone knows what this pill could be please let me know. Thank you. ## I've had several people ask about this tablet and I still can't find anything definitive on it. Thus, I am wondering if it may be something that is available over the counter, such medications are usually not listed in the FDA or NIH databases. The closest I've been able to find, so far, has P 51 on it and is a red gel cap that contains Decussate, which is used as a laxative and stool softener. It's typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, bloating, abdominal cramping and diarrhea. Does anyone else recognize this pill? ...

Found a red pill with A 9 2 on it. what is it for? ## I've tried looking for this quite a few times, now and I am just not pulling up anything on a pill with this marking in any of our prescription drug resources. Was it found in the U.S.? I have a sneaking suspicion that it may be something that is available over the counter. Does anyone else recognize this tablet? ## It is a stool softener, I asked my pharmacist for some free stool softeners and he gave me some in an unmarked pill bottle, it is colace or a substitute.

round cranberry colored pill with numbers 544. the 44 is imprinted deeper. ## I believe that this is Walmart's Equate Stool Softener Plus Stimulant Laxative (Compare to Peri-Colase). It contains two active ingredients: Docusate Sodium 50mg and Sennosides 8.6mg. (As of December 2014) ## The prior identification is correct, it is still available in this same formulation. It is a laxative. The FDA warns that it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea. Is there anything I can help with?

Round red pill with beveled edge. Imprint, 'S44', is faded, but looks to have been originally white in color (kind of like the imprint on m&m's, i think ???) . Text is located on one side of pill only, the other side is blank. ## This is an over the counter cold remedy, it contains Guaifenesin and Phenylephrine. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and dizziness. Is there anything else I can help you with? ## This was packaged in a Walgreen's brand Sleep Aid but the child proof cap seemed strange and the pill bottle had blue caplets on it! Was supposed to be Diphenhydramine Hcl 25mgs. This a huge problem, right? ## could the pills be stool softeners? my father just bought some at CVS, but the safety plastic came off too easily... the pills a...

I found a round red pill with 544 embossed in it. Do you know what it is? ## This may be Walmart's Equate Stool Softener with Stimulant Laxative (compare to Peri-Colase). ## i found a tiny red pill that has [ ] an imprint on one side. does anyone know what it is? ## @Susan, Is there any chance that the pill you have says "S44" instead of "544"? If so, a round red pill with S44 is reportedly identified as Docusate sodium/senna docusate sodium (50 mg) + Sennosides (8.6 mg). This is a laxative used for treating constipation, as post #1 suggested. For verification, the product labeler/distributor is listed as McKesson and the pill itself carries a National Drug Code of 62011-0165. I hope this helps!

I'm looking for a red pill about the size of a Sudafed pill for constipation. I was given this pill when my first child was born to have a bowel movement after the nurse put me through other painful procedures, I'm expecting my 2nd child in May & I refuse to do those procedures again & would like to know what that pill is & how to get it. Thank you. ## It was most likely just a stool softener, they are commonly given to women after birth, because after labor, many women don't pass stool for a few days, and when they finally do, it can be very hard, so a softener makes it easier. Many of them can be purchased over the counter in most drug stores, and pharmacies, but they may not want you take them, while in the hospital. Ref: Medline Plus Stool Softeners What proc...

If 1 is a stool softener can i take 2 to make it a laxative? I have constipation from my opioids. ## Hello Shirley, Excellent question. Stool Softener, AKA Docusate Sodium, commonly comes in 50mg and 100mg soft gels. I too have OIC (Opioid-Induced Constipation). Docusate Sodium is but one part of my regimen for my personal amount of Opioids. I also take a capful of Miralax almost every day. I also take 4 Docusate Sodium Softgels of 100mg each for a total of 400mgs. I'll take the softgels every other day. Now for a specific answer to your question: 1 soft gel of Docusate Sodium is a stool softener, of course. 2 softgels is a doubling of the stool softener and are simply just more stool softener. It doesn't convert to a laxative based on simply using a larger dose. Just as my 4 10...

hese pills were found loose in a drawyer. It is possible that someone in the family injested 2 of them in error. I would just like to know what they are for sure. Previosly there were Ibuprofen tabs in this drawer however I have ruled these pills out as Ibuprofen ## These aren't listed in our U.S. prescription drug databases, which makes me suspect that they are something available over the counter. If that is the case, it may be hard to track down exactly what they are, because those products aren't required to list their imprints with the FDA. Does anyone recognize this tablet and marking? ## S44 marking on beveled reddish brown tablet indicates WalMart Equate stool softener (OTC)

WHITE ON ONE SIDE THE OTHER RED ## Hi Gloria, I'm not certain as to whether this is a definitive match, but information I am seeing suggests that what you have is an over-the-counter stool softener/laxative by the name of Docusate sodium (100mg). They describe the red and white tablet as being a liquid filled capsule, made by Kroger Co. For verification, it also reportedly carries a National Drug Code of 30142-238. Another attribute to take note of is its size. The particular description I found lists the size as being 12 mm. One other thing I want to mention is that I did come across a nearly identical pill that carried an imprint of "SCU1" as opposed to "SCU2", which was also identified as a stool softener. However this pill was completely red and didn't have w...

no this pill is a stool softener, i own them so believe me i know. ## Thanks for sharing your finding. It's really difficult to locate over the counter medications in the drug databases, so having other users post it like this is very helpful! But would you mind providing more information on the product label itself; regarding who manufacture's this product; and what the brand name of the medication is? It always looks good to have full details posted so others can know that your information is accurate and they' aren't "just" taking your word for it. Thanks again for the help! ## This is a Dollar General health brand generic stool softener plus stimulant laxative. It is comparable to Peri -Colace. Contains Docusate Sodium 50mg and Sennosides 8.6mg. ## A friend s...

red, gel filled, eliptical shape ## small, red, gelatin type capsule, with no markings and clear fluid inside. possible OTC medication ## The original gelcap asked about contains 100mgs of Docusate, which is a stool softener and laxative that's available over the counter. You can learn more Docusate details here. Side effects may include nausea, gas, diarrhea and abdominal cramping. On the unmarked one, however, it's very difficult to be certain what it contains. It's most likely something available over the counter, but It's difficult to be sure what exactly it is. Does anyone else have any ideas?
