I found some white little small round pills. On one side the number is 93 and on the other side it says 74. I don't know what kind of pills they are my friend gave them to me as pain killers but I need to know what kind they are. I don't take medicine I don't know what the name is. If you have answers please tell me. Thank You:confused: :D

You say that you found them and then you say that your friend gave them to you. That doesn't make sense. Would you mind explaining that, please?

Better off not to take any medicine that hasn't been prescribed for you. You don't know what they are, so why risk it? Not a good idea. Did you take them already?

The above is very true and also very sound advice!

In answer to your private message to me about whether I can identify the pills in question, my answer is that I can't and I won't make an attempt to identify them. You did say in your private message to me that your friend gave them to you.

But, there is still the problem here that you didn't answer my question as to the discrepancy of your finding them or if your friend gave them to you.

Because you have not answered that question publicly, then that raises doubts in people's minds as to the veracity and credibility of your original post.

I submit the following to you now. It is an answer that I have now posted on a number of threads concerning the identification of pills.

Below, is my standard answer when people ask qustions about identifying pills on this site.

I would like to help you. But, ethically, I don't think that would be a wise choice on my part. What if someone here finds a pill that looks exactly like the pill that you describe, and then types or copies and pastes the incorrect information about the pill in an answer? What if the pill you found is actually a counterfeit pill and made to look exactly like some other pill?

The following is from the actual https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/faq.php...#faq_faq_rules of this site. All of the document below is very important. But, please note especially that which I have bolded in red in the following document.

I would suggest checking out the information that you might find on the following site or preferably taking it to a pharmacist for proper identification and proper disposal. The site below is good, but not foolproof. But, to be sure, I would take it to a pharmacist. Anyone answering you here runs the risk of the ramifications if they answer and are incorrect no matter what you say the reason or reasons are as to why you are asking.

Below, is the site to which I am referring:

Pill Identifier - Drugs.com

I don't know what the pill is. I don't know you and you don't know me. I could say the pill was something that it is not. What might happen next? What if the information you have been given here is incorrect? Maybe the pill is something harmless? I don't know. What if you decided to believe what I said is true and then you take the pill and something bad happens to you because you have taken it when I have said that it is something harmless? What if I was really wrong and the pill could turn out to be something deadly to you if you took it, or you said that you asked an "expert" on this online site who said that they were really sure of what the pill was and that you should not worry about going any further with trying to identify the pill? There are people who really answer that way on this site. Please see information about that on the following link if you have any doubt as to people actually acting like theirs is the last word on the identification of a pill.

Reliable pharmacists are usually very easy to find around where you live, and can visit with you and see the pill first hand.

I'm not a pharmacist and I'm not going to pretend that I'm some sort of expert at identifying pills. So, unless someone is a pharmacist here and has actually seen the pill first hand that you have found and is truly sure of the reason or reasons as to why you are asking, even though they are trying to be kind and think that they are answering in your best interests, it is not in your best interests or in the best interests of any person here who thinks that they have the correct answer for you because of the possible ramifications when being incorrect when giving out such information.
