[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 636476, member: 1233"] Can't comment on the football as I have nothing nice to say about it. But back to the red tablets --- There are online pill identifier databases that can help you if you ever have the need to figure out what a pill is. I generally use the AARP or drugs.com ones. You put in the shape, color and any writing on the pill and it tells you what it is. I have used them to verify when I get new/different looking medications from the pharmacy. Why? Because when one of Wiz' docs changed his medications they wrote one thing and the pharmacist read it wrong and gave us something else even though the bottle said what the dr told us he was rxing. I thought it looked funny, so I checked to make sure we got the correct medication because the wrong medication can cause serious harm. The description on the info from the pharmacy did NOT look like the medication in the bottle, so we checked online. It was good that we did because that medication, in that dose, would likely have killed Wiz. It was a very strong barbiturate and was supposed to be an antidepressant. The pharmacist got mad at me for questioning him, then got really upset because I reported him to the state because the medication he gave us was controlled like morphine type medications. The doctor had written out the rx, but had not put the extra info for the controlled medications on the rx, so it was a HUGE deal to have given us that one instead of the one we were supposed to get. The state version of the DEA was really angry because it would have killed Wiz most likely (our doctor also said this) and that pharmacist ended up in some major trouble over this. I would not have reported him if he had been nice about it, but he got ugly and that made me look into it more. If I had just gone away he would have gotten away with it, but by returning it he had to justify what he did and he didn't want to let anyone know he made the mistake. Those pill identifiers are easily found - I usually just google "pill identifier" and the AARP is one of the top ones. It has identified every pill I have thrown at it with very few problems.
