Let me start by saying, I do not do any drugs! I read a few of these similar questions and people respond by judging. I am asking as a concerned wife and mother. My husband has been out of town on business for 4 months, returning almost a month ago. He drove my car for the first time since before he left, on Sunday night. He went out with friends and got very drunk. He locked the keys in the car and took a cab home. I had a friend go with me in another one of our cars that night to pick it up from the bar. When I goit in my car, the driver seat was ALL the way back and fully reclined, also stunk of cigarettes and we do not smoke! I got home, and haven't been in my car since. I went in it to go to the store today and found a pill on the seat, where my kids could have easily grabbed it. I took a few pictures of it and texted them to my husband at work, he is playing dumb or something nad says he has no idea what it is but wants to see it when he gets home. No one else was in the car, not even my friend! The pill is almost like a goldfish or figure 8 shape but very rounded. Hard, and white, the size of a large tic tac, no writing or markings. I know it is a drug, it is definitely NOT candy. I want to know WHAT kind of drug. I highly doubt it is a prescription drug also. I really need some input and help here! I want to know if anyone has seen something like this. I am concerned for my husband as he has been acting strange since his return, and I am concerned for my kids if they find one of "his pills". My children are 6 and 3.

If it has no markings - which a prescription drug should have - there is nothing much to do but guess.

Take it to a Pharmacy and ask the Pharmacist (not the Tech).

I have seen erythromycin base by Abbott to have a similar shape but it also has a marking on it - and the shape is only remotely similar. Of course, new drugs and generics come out just about every week.

J_9 will know when she comes along -

I myself am a vet tech, and I have never seen anything in the drug books like it. Animal drugs and human drugs are similar enough to be able to get an idea. I have gone through my pharmacy book already, I cannot find it. I have looked online as well and met up with a friend who sadly used to be into ecstacy and she said it might be but she has never seen anything like it. So I am stumped!
