    Found a pill?
    I found a strange pill on my living room floor.
    It's really tiny and white.
    Oval to diamond shaped.
    With 284W on one side.
    Rph on the other side.

    It's nothing that I or my husband take. Were thinking one of our guests dropped it. Were really wish they would have been more careful, as we have pets.

    If any one could make a good guess what it could be I would appreciate it.

    All I can find with a marking 284 is an expectorant called Phenylephrine, unfortunately everywhere I have access to does not have a photo of the pill so this is imposible to confirm, all it says is it's a small oblong white tablet.

    Definitely toss it, its most likely a cold medication but its impossible to be sure.
