Is L194 Famotidine? (Page 2) (Top voted first)

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

L194 is also tramadol. The other L194 medication is used for heartburn and has the same engraving. You can tell the difference between the two if you look at the blank side of the pill. Tramadol has a blank side and no score on it. The Famotidine has a blank side with a score in the middle. However there have been some manufacturers that do not score the Famotidine, so be careful. Thanks.

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.

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).

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.

This could also be Tramadol. A non opioid analgesic that binds to the opiod receptors helping w/ pain. I believe they're (The DEA) is going to up it's status to a scheduled narcotic this year. I am currently prescribed these and it's a white round non scored pill (pea sized but not that round) one side is blank the other side has L194 engraved in it.
