Is it round? I did find a green round pill with the imprint 5406 - that could be HCTZ, which lowers blood pressure. When you find a pill that you do not know, the wise choice is to call either your pharmacy, your ER, or your Doctor and explain what you found. They will tell you what it is and the proper disposal of that drug.
