Q: Identifying Pills

I have some pills that I cannot identify. I found them in my teenagers room. I don't know how to identify what they are. They could be harmless, but I need to know. Can someone tell me if there is a way to identify them? They have #'s stamped on them, but no name. One is GG 235, the other one is 832 BC20. thanks

You can take them to any pharmacy and ask the pharmacist. Thats what I have done I the past. Tell them you've had them in a medicine cabinet, lost hte bottles and have to clue as to what they are or were for.

The first one is Promethazine, which according to this site is used for nasal congestion

The second one is a muscle relaxer
http://www.drugs.com/search.php?searchterm =Baclofen

Drugs.com is a great reference if you are prescribed a med and want to know more about it than your pharmacy can give you. I would probably still take them to the pharmacy just in case that site isn't accurate.
Good luck with your teenager. Sounds like a good time to start having the drug talk with him/her

block him from online pharmacies

I'm not sure how he is getting the pills, but you could block his computer from accessing websites that sell drugs online.
