    If you call any pharmacy they will be able to tell you exactly what it is

    Yes, please take pills to your local drug store and they can ID it for you.

    Finding and even handling strange pills you just pick up off the ground or find other places can be dangerous as you can not be sure what issues they can cause.

    Also if you merely foundit, why not throw it away since you most certain won't be "taking" some pill you just found.

    If you are a parent who found something in their child's clothese still take it to the drug store and they can tell you the effects it canhave.

    What do you mean calm down. Have to becareful. If in doubt that it is best to get it checked out by the pharmacy. By the way your link does not work.

    Yes, one does not know what a pill could have been coated with, or soaked in or other things. Next only once or twice does these people come back and tell us where they "found" these pills. How many pills do you find laying arouind your house, and how many times do you pick a pill up on the street you find laying ?

    Ok, it is important to know what is going on, before being reckless in giving advice to perhaps some underage person doing something that can harm them.

    Proper link, sorry Imodium Drug Information

    And I've found pills in my home, though I know what they are but sometimes someone takes a pill out of a bottle and leaves it in the kitchen, bathroom etc and completely forgets about it. If it's a few months later the bottle may be gone. Or again parents could be finding these in teen's rooms and may not want to talk face to face with a pharmacist and ask what they are.
