    So, are you saying that you would take these pills if you knew they were the same ones that you have been taking?

    No first I would take them to my phamisist to make sure then decide what to do with them since I don't know how old they are or if that is what they are for sure or if their shelf life has expired

    Then how about taking them to a pharmacist for the proper identification of them rather than relying on people here who you don't know and who cannot even see them who are not pharmacists?

    Does this make sense to you? I am trying to be kind and at the same time, protective of you, this site, and also other members of this site.

    AARP also has supplemental health insurance and prescription coverage, as well as pharmacy services for their members. My Dad had the insurance that covered what Medicare did not cover during his nursing home stay.

    But I would never stick my neck out to identify something found in anyone's pocket.
