Need Help with Pill Identification

[deecypher]

Requested lorazepam. Trying to verify. Other side has "0.5"

[oncearugge]

Where was this "pill" purchased ?

Was it prescribed by a Thai doctor and dispensed from a hospital pharmacy ?

[happynthailand]

Lorazepam is a white pill

[Pib]

Gosh, medications/pills can come in some many different colors (that's only food coloring), shapes, physical sizes, logo inscription, etc., depending on which manufacturer made it...and in many cases many different manufacturers will produce the same medication. Time to go back to the place you bought the med and ask your question.

Yes, it was purchased at a pharmacy across the street from our local clinic. Usually they are white, so that's why I was a bit alarmed to see these pills. Tried all the "pill identifier" forms online, but I have yet to find anything with that logo. Can't figure out who makes it.

You're right, back to the pharma *groan* TIT

Thanks guys

Lets hope that all the Thai FDA requirements are being met !

"P4 = Psychotropic Substance Schedule 4 (วัตถุออกฤทธิ์ ในประเภท 4)

Sale restricted to Psychotropic Substance Schedule 4 licence Holder. A first grade pharmacist should be on duty. Supply to the public is on prescription only. Monthly and yearly purchase and sale report should be submitted to FDA "

Very Serious consequences can result from the illegal sale and purchase of Lorazepam.

Maybe if you drop it you will be only 'armless' rather than legless like the little figure indicates.

Sorry rather frivolous . I would either get it identified or ditch it .

It does not match any of the brands of lorazepam registered in Thailand, and it would not have been legal for them to sell lorazepam to you unless you had a doctor's prescription, showed Id and they recorded your name, address etc in a register. Usually pharmacies do not want to be bothered with all that and do not carry such restricted drugs as a result.

[deecypher]

All good points. Would still like to know what they tried to pass off for lorazepam though.

a couple of years ago, I got some pills from a gov hospital pharmacy.

they where pills for a chest problem, check the pills on line

they said that the pills were used for dogs and cats

went back to the hospital pharmacy and asked why they gave me these pills,if you don't like them don't take them

they went in to the down the drain

now alway's check on line for what kind of pills I get
