Comment:

I would be VERY careful trying to ID a pill online.  Some street
drugs,are imprinted with the same ID number as athe legit drug.  They
look the same, but that doesn't mean they are the same.

Try to ID a drug?  You might call the Poison Control in your city.
Check yello pages  for phone #.

With unknow pill, best to FLUSH it down toliet.

Hi I just wanted to add a comment..that pill identification was
correct a capsule and its clindamycin an antibiotic used to treat
teeth and bone infections mostly and a few other conditons the best
place to identify a pill is through the poision control website
www.drugs.com...good luck...hope this helped
