    What kind of pill is this
    This pill is tablet shaped and has a cut down the middle. Color is like a lorcet, BLUE to greenish . Has only the letters GF DM imprinted on it. Is this for pain?

    I think... I think it could be a diet pill.

    Not enough information provided. For one, Lorcets come in at least 3 different colors (blue, white, peach) and 'tablet shaped' isn't an accurate description. A tablet is just any pill formed from compressed powder (as opposed to say, a gelcap). The shape would be oval, football, round, etc.

    Let's see now, we've got possible diet pill, cough suppressant and now below, what would appear to be a separate question and not an answer?

    Even online sites for pill identification, pay or not pay, are not foolproof.

    The best thing that you can do with any pill, if you want to know for sure what it is, is to take it to a pharmacist who can see it in person and also visit with you. That would be a much better choice, rather than relying on strangers on a site to identify it for you, who, no matter what qualifications they state that they have or how correct they think that they are, can make mistakes and may be incorrect.

    Why take a chance when the information that you might get from an online site could be incorrect?

    DM is the abbreviation for Dextromethorphan, which is an antitussive. It is a cough suppressant.

    GF is the abbreviation for Guaifenesin, which is an expectorant.

    So, if you put the two together this is a cough suppressant/expectorant such as Robitussin in pill form.

    This info comes from the 2007 Mosby's Nursing Drug Reference.
