I am trying to determine what a pill that I found is.  It is a small
white oblong oval with the number 10 on one side and a star on the
other side?

Is the star a four-pointed star? 

The drug I am thinking of looks exactly like this, except it has the
number 10 instead of the number 20:

that is what the star looks like but the number is 10 not 20...

The pill that you found is Bextra, in the 10-milligram size. Bextra's
generic name is valdecoxib. This is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
drug that is often used in treating the pain and inflammation of
arthritis.

"BEXTRA Tablets 10 mg are white, film-coated, and capsule-shaped,
debossed '10' on one side with a four pointed star shape on the
other."

I hope this information is useful. If anything is unclear, please
request clarification; I'll be glad to offer further assistance before
you rate my answer.
