Is L194 Famotidine? (Page 2)

Updated

I found a round pill that is smooth, round but not flat and has L194 on one side... The other side is blank. I remember taking them I thought for pain but i threw away the bottle.. I don't believe It's for heartburn... Help

I have both Famotidine for heartburn and Tramadol for shoulder pain. They are NOT the same. The one described here is Famotidine.

Yes it is....I have an old script still and that’s EXACTLY what it is. Perhaps they stopped manufacturing them and now use this L194 for something different but I’d never understand the point of that. It’s either that or someone is mistaking the L for something else...Or even better....drug companies found something else it works better for and renamed/remarketed it.

I am looking at the medication tramadol right now. It was prescribed for my greyhound. It is round, blank on one side, with L194 on the other. It is not scored.

Famotidine is OTC and made by a number of manufacturers. The famotidine I have is scored with no number, but since it’s made by multiple manufacturers it could be on some.

The blanket statement that L194 is not tramadol is INCORRECT.

My eyes aren't the best, but I've been prescribed both of these before; so anyhow, I just wondered if there's 2 pills... One says LI 94 and the other has L194?

There are two pills. People are arguing that it’s one or the other. I posted earlier that mine was tramadol; the over-the-counter one is famotidine. I think I saw something by a pharmacist saying the same thing. The OTC ones can have the same letter and number combination as a prescription drug that is different. Wish it wasn’t that way, but it is.

Someone needs to take notice. It's obvious there are two medications under the L194 imprint. Two totally different meds for different ailments. Could be a dangerous error.

gr8hnd (# 29) & Geraald (# 32) --

L194 is NOT Tramadol, do check with your pharmacist, no 2 drugs are given the same drug imprint.

"All approved prescription and over-the-counter solid, oral dosage form medications in the U.S. are required by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to have a unique imprint. This also applies to biological drug products and homeopathic drug products, unless otherwise exempted in the FDA Code of Federal Regulations 206.7."

Please be careful not to post misinformation.

Just to add to this thread - I was searching all over myself, and the first reply from Verwon is correct. However, there may be some confusion, because there is a reportedly brown tablet which also has the imprint L194 (sorry I don't have a picture of it). This is not Tramadol, but extended release Ropinirole 8 mg (NDC 46708-265).
