Does this look similar to your pill? If so, I know what it probably is.

Dear jantisme-ga;

While you will note our disclaimer about medical information, I am
fairly confident I have identified your capsule. This of course in no
way means you should take the pill based on what you learn here (or in
any online forum for that matter):

According to the US Food and Drug Adminstration?s National Drug Code
database the only capsule that comes up in a search for 0093/9380
(note that the leading zero?s are necessary for this database) is a
drug called ?Ursodiol? (pronounced, ur-so-DY-all). Since it looks
exactly as you described I am going to go ahead and post this as an
answer.

Ursodiol is the generic name for Ursodeoxycholic Acid, and is a
naturally occurring bile salt that is prescribed most often for
biliary cirrhosis or in the non-surgical treatment of gallstones. It
is marketed under the trade names Actigall®, Urso® and Ursofalk®.


Below you will find that I have carefully defined my search strategy
for you in the event that you need to search for more information. By
following the same type of searches that I did you may be able to
enhance the research I have provided even further. I hope you find
that my research exceeds your expectations. If you have any questions
about my research please post a clarification request prior to rating
the answer. Otherwise, I welcome your rating and your final comments
and I look forward to working with you again in the near future. Thank
you for bringing your question to us.
