Hi,
Please call your Doctor, or any Doctor. Their office would be able to tell you. Or, possibly take them to a Pharmacist. They would know.

Also, here is a site:
http://www.idthispill.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=2092&page=137&view=collapsed&sb=8&o=&fpart=1

If you go to the site, scroll down almost all the way to the bottom of the page, and there is a description of the pill, with it's name, and looks as if it's used as a muscle relaxant. But, Please check with a Doctor.
Best of luck.

If the doctor did not prescribe this ( and you would know what it is if he did) since it would be on the label of the bottle it came in. So if this is not your medication do not take it, it can harm healthy people


If it is a round green pill it should be

Chlorzoxazone Tablets 500mg

CHLORZOXAZONE (Parafon Forte® DSC, Paraflex®, Remular-S® and others) is a muscle relaxant that has sedative properties. It is used in combination with rest and physical therapy to relieve acute, painful muscle discomforts, like those caused by sprains, strains or other muscle injuries. Generic chlorzoxazone products are available.

What side effects may I notice from taking chlorzoxazone?
Side effects that you should report to your prescriber or health care professional as soon as possible:
•abdominal pain
•darkened brown urine
•difficulty breathing
•nausea or vomiting
•skin rash, hives, itching
•unusual movements
•yellowing of the eyes or skin
•unusual tiredness or weakness

Side effects that usually do not require medical attention (report to your prescriber or health care professional if they continue or are bothersome):
•constipation
•dizziness
•drowsiness
•headache
•orange or purple-red color of the urine
•stomach upset

Does it say barr on the other?

CHLORZOXAZONE, as fr chuck said.

If still not sure, a pharmacist should be able to help, as was mentioned.
