I found a white pill oval- that has P42 on one side of the pill. What kind of pill is this?

It's Ibuprofen

Lowtax4eva, I heard it was 80% of stats were made up, who is correct?

Actually it is 90 percent, I got this from a made up stat


Look, people just don't find pills, short of a parent looking though their kids clothes.

If you have a pill you don't know what it is, most likely you are not suppose to have it, ( what you going to take a pill you found laying on the ground?? ) So throw it away, why even pick it up to start with, merely crush it on the ground where you found it.

So most likely what happens, teens getting pills from others come here to find out what "neat" drug they just bought to get high.

So if you want to know what a drug is, take it to the druggest and they will be glad to help you if you have a legal reason to have this medication.

Ah the old "is is 77, 80 or 90 percent of stats are made up" argument.

Seriously though... I do agree with Fr_Chuck, there is never a good reason to have a pill without the bottle but I do use resources I have access to to give the answer when I can about what a pill is. In this case I assure you, it's Ibuprofen, it's a very standard marking on this pill, but in most cases you need to seriously question how a pill ends up in a drawer or what have you.

I do have to almost laugh I have always say you just don't find a pill laying, well yesterday guess what I was leaving my office and guess what I found, it was a bottle of pills. I guess someone had droped it from car,purse,pocket or ect> Of course this was a full bottle, with name and type of pill in it.

So I will still say you don't just find pills laying around but in some cases you could, but not something you care about identifying
