The pill is a generic combination of acetaminophen and hydrocodone

of drugs that is present in the brand-name drug Vicodin. Hydrocodone
is a highly abused prescription drug, and is a Schedule III Controlled
Substance.

Hi,

My colleague, pinkfreud is very correct as to what that pill is.  

Some time ago I found a lone pill in my medication pillbox I keep in
my purse and had no clue what it was.  I called the poison control
hotline and within a few seconds the operation told me what it was! 
All I did was describe the color and markings and she had a database
for reference.  The number is:
1-800-222-1222   24/7

Regards,

tlspiegel
