Identify Your Mylan Pills

Mylan 5222 Capsule

2011-04-11T07:50:00.000-07:00

Mylan 5222 capsule is a variation of omeprazole (generic Prilosec) capsules. The medication is used to treat specific conditions caused by excess stomach acid, especially symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Mylan Pharmaceuticals manufactures omeprazole in a number of strengths which include 10mg (Mylan 5211) and 20mg (Mylan 6150). Mylan 5222 bluish-green capsules are the strongest, as they contain 40mg of omeprazole each. Omeprazole is one of the most widely prescribed stomach drugs available under various brand names. Mylan Pharmaceuticals manufactures a high-quality generic version of it.

Mylan 457 Pill

2011-01-31T04:17:00.000-08:00

Mylan 457 pill can be placed in the middle of Mylan's Lorazepam pills as it is 1mg Lorazepam in strength, which is twice as much as Mylan's M 321 0.5mg pill, and twice as little as Mylan's 2mg indexed with "777" number. It is a generic version of the medication otherwise known under the trade name Ativan. Mylan 457 (Lorazepam) belongs to the class of drugs called benzodiazeoines which are generally used for treatment of anxiety disorders and as sedatives. Mylan 457 is a rather strong pill to be used initially, as normal initial dose of Lorazepam is 0.5mg (taken twice daily). But the pill is scored, and it can help you break it into two halves easily.

Mylan 199 - One More Clonidine Pill Made by Mylan

2010-10-17T01:52:00.000-07:00

The 3rd one in the row of Mylan's Clonidine hydrochloride pills is Mylan 199 - a 0.3 mg white-colored pill, used to treat hypertension, etc (the same as with Mylan 152, just the strength is three times as much). Clonidine is also available under prescription as brand-named Catapres and Duraclon, which are not Mylan's products. To add a few words to Mylan 199 pill's description, we may say that "MYLAN" and "199" on the front side of the pill are divided by a score, while the reverse side is blank.

M T7 Pill vs M P/T Pill

2010-08-09T23:09:00.000-07:00

Both M T7 and M P/T pills contain tramadol hydrochloride. The difference between them is that the pill indexed M T7 contains 50 mg of pure tramadol with no active ingredient added, and M P/T pill is a compound medicine which consists of 37.5 mg tramadol HCl combined with 325 mg acetaminophen (paracetamol, APAP). As a result, M T7 pill is a generic for brand name Ultram, and M P/T pill is a generic for the medication distributed as Ultracet in the USA or Tramacet in Canada.

But an essential detail is the fact that in M P/T pills we find less tramadol as compared to M T7 pills, although the pain relieving effects of the medicine remain almost the same, as they are maintained by the little amount of acetaminophen added to it. That may be really crucial because tramadol is known to be highly addictive drug, and the less of it one takes, the better...

Mylan 1400 Red Capsule

2010-07-27T02:57:00.000-07:00

We are going to be very brief today. Mylan 1400 red capsule is the same medication as Mylan 1200 red capsule. It is acebutolol hydrochloride (generic Sectral) which we have already mentioned here. The only difference is that each Mylan 1400 contains 400 mg, that is twice the strength of the previously examined capsule.

Mylan 184

2010-07-25T07:19:00.001-07:00

Round green pill, MYLAN 184 code debossed on one side (the scored one), the other side is marked with "40". As in case with other propranolol pills manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals, the number which is available besides the pill's index tells the pill's strength. In Mylan 184, each pill contains 40 mg propranolol hydrochloride a beta-blocker (brand-named Inderal).

Mylan 6410 - Doxepin 100 mg Capsule

2010-07-21T22:04:00.000-07:00

One more Doxepin capsule to be identified. The color can be described as light green and white (the two halves of the capsule are colored differently). MYLAN 6410 code is imprinted in black on both halves.

Each MYLAN 6410 pill (capsule) contains 100 mg Doxepin, which, as we have already stated, is an antidepressant and a drug that treats insomnia (sleeplessness). It is the highest strength of Doxepin available in pills.

Mylan 1200

2010-07-15T06:46:00.000-07:00

A beautifully looking red capsule indexed "MYLAN 1200". Quite enough to describe the outside. As for the inside, each pill contains 200 Acebutolol HCl, a cardioselective beta blocker used mainly for treatment of hypertension and ventricular arrhythmias. Apart of Mylan's generic version, the medicine's trade names include Sectral and Prent.

Mylan 5375 - 75 mg Doxepin Capsule

2010-07-03T04:04:00.000-07:00

Very brief today :)

Description: oblong blue capsule
Index: Mylan 5375
Drug: Doxepin Hydrochloride
Strength: 75mg
Drug class: psychotropic agent
Indications: depression, insomnia, anxiety disorders, itching

That is quite enough to find out what you have got, isn't it?
Mylan 5375 capsules contain a generic formulation of Doxepin. The medication is also available under brand names: Aponal, Sinequan, Silenor, Adapine, Deptran...

M T7 or Pliva 616. Any difference?

2010-06-25T09:24:00.000-07:00

A very common situation is when the same medicine is produced by different manufacturers. And an even more common situation is, when getting some differently indexed pills, people wonder if they are the same drug, as they may look poles apart.

A simple example. We have already examined one of Mylan's products, a pill indexed "M" and "T7". It is little, white and round. No wonder that when someone comes across an oblong pill with "Pliva 616" code (the pill is obviously larger in size!), he or she may think that the pills' active ingredients differ to the same extent as their appearances. But... No! Both M T7 and Pliva 616 are the same, invariable 50 mg Tramadol hydrochloride, though made in different parts of the world. And the effects of these pills are the same as well, too!

You are very welcome to find more of such analogues, and leave your comment on this blog, comparing Mylan's products to similar products made by other manufacturers ;)

M T7 Pill - Mylan's Tramadol HCl

2010-03-16T01:22:00.000-07:00

One more Mylan pill indexed with "M" letter, not with the whole word "MYLAN". Now it is M T7 pill - Mylan's generic version for Ultram (Tramadol HCl). It is a little round white pill with "M" debossed on one side and "T7" on the other. The medicine belongs to the opioid class, and is similar in its effects to codeine. It is a mild narcotic pain killer used for treatment of moderate to strong pain. Each Mylan's M T7 pill contains 50 mg of instant release Tramadol HCl. It should mentioned that Tramadol has a high potential for abuse and must not be taken without prescription.

Mylan 183 - 20mg Propranolol HCl Pill

2010-03-14T03:36:00.000-07:00

Let us go on with our Mylan's Propranolol series. This time we shall have a look at Mylan 183 round blue pill. As you may notice, "20" is debossed on one of its sides. So, it is 20mg Propranolol HCl, a generic version for Inderal manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals. The pill is scored to enbale a patient divide it easily into two equal halves of about 10 mg. Propranolol is mainly used to treat hypertension and heart rythm disorders. The usual total daily dose of it is about 80 mg which equals four Mylan 183 pills, though the dose can be increased up to 480 mg daily if required.

Mylan A3 Pill - Alprazolam (generic Xanax)

2010-03-07T02:08:00.000-08:00

Mylan Pharmaceuticals manufactures a range of Alprazolam (generic Xanax) pills. All of them can be identified by the letter "A" debossed on one of the sides. The "A" letter is found alone on the least strength of Mylan's Alprazolam (0.25mg pill), while on the pills of greater strength "A" is combined with a number (1, 3 or 4). The pill indexed with "Mylan A3" is 0.5mg Alprazolam. It is, perhaps, the most popular one in the line. The shape of the pill is round, the color can be described as peach. Mylan A3 is an immediate release formulation which is distinguished from extended release versions. In addition to "A", the latter have a letter "M" on the other side (the numbers are different, too).

Mylan 182 - Propranolol HCl

2010-03-06T07:07:00.000-08:00

Mylan 182 pill is the least strength of Propranolol hydrochloride manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. It is only 10 mg. The medicine belongs to the family of beta-blockers, and is used for treatment of hypertension, heart rhythm disorders and chest pains caused by angina pectoris. The pill is round, ornage-colored, indexed with "MYLAN 182" on one side and "10" on the other. One of the brand names for Propranolol is Inderal.

Mylan's M P/T Pill - Tramadol / Acetaminophen

2010-02-26T07:09:00.000-08:00

Mylan's M P/T pill is a compound medication that consists of 325 mg Acetaminophen (APAP) and 37.5 mg Tramadol Hydrochloride. In the pill, opioid analgetic effects of Tramadol are increased by Acetaminophen - a milder pain reliver and a fever reducer. In fact, it is a generic version of a well-known Ultracet (which is also distributed under brand name Tramacet in Canada). The pill is round, yellow-colored.

Mylan's M 545 Pill - Mirtazapine (generic Remeron)

2010-01-19T07:40:00.000-08:00

One more pill without "MYLAN" letters on it, indexed only with "M 545". Still, it is one more generic produced by Mylan Pharmaceuticals - Mirtazapine (generic for Remeron), an antidepressant. Each round beige-colored Mylan's M 545 pill contains 45mg of Mirtazapine. The medication is used to treat depression. The dose is quite high, as Mirtazapine is normally taken 15mg daily, and this can only be increased up to 45mg gradually.

Mylan 531 - Sulindac 200MG

2010-01-06T05:31:00.000-08:00

Sulindac is also manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals in 200 mg strength, it is Mylan 531 pill. The pills look very similar to Mylan's 150MG formulation, they are yellow-colored, too, but the both letters and number are placed on one side (divided by a score), the other side is blank. Sulindac is the generic name for Clinoril, a NSAID used to manage pain and inflammation caused by different forms of arthritis and acute painful shoulder.

Mylan 427 - Sulindac Pill

2009-12-20T02:07:00.000-08:00

Mylan 427 is a round yellow tablet, with with the letters "MYLAN" embossed on one side and the number "427" on the other. Each pill contains 150 mg of Sulindac (generic for Clinoril). The medication belongs to the class of NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatorey drugs), and is mainly used for treatment of pain and swelling caused by different forms of arthritis or acute painful shoulder. We hope you may easily identify Mylan's Sulindac pills now.

Mylan's M2 Pill

2009-11-28T07:45:00.000-08:00

We have already mentioned Furosemide (generic for Lasix) manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals (Mylan 216 and Mylan 232 pills), but in case with the pill of the smallest strength the situation is slightly different. It is not indexed with MYLAN letters, there is only one letter M on each of them, or M2, to put it more correct. However, they are still Mylan pills. Each M2 pill contains 20 mg of a loop diuretic Furosemide. Making urination more frequent, Furosemide lowers the level of salt in your system, removing extra water and in thus taking the excessive load off your heart, liver, and kidneys.

Mylan 377 - 250 mg Naproxen

2009-11-10T05:32:00.000-08:00

This is a little round pill, white, with MYLAN embossed on one side and 377 on the other. Mylan 377 is 250 mg Naproxen (generic Naprosyn, or Aleve, or Midol), the smallest dosage of the medication manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals. Being an NSAID, Naproxen is used for the treatment of inflammation and as pain-killer. As only dosages of 220 mg or less (e.g., Aleve) are available over-the-counter, to get Mylan 377 pills you normally have to obtain a prescription.

Beware that Naproxen increases your risk of life-threatening heart or circulation problems, including heart attack or stroke. It can also increase your risk of serious effects on the stomach or intestines, including bleeding or perforation. Long-term usage of the medication can worsen its adverse effects.

Mylan 555 - Naproxen

2009-10-29T02:51:00.000-07:00

Description: white-colored oblong pill with "MYLAN" written on one side and "555".
What is it? Mylan 555 pill is Naproxen, generic version for Naprosyn medication manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals. (There are other popular brand names that nclude Aleve, Naprelan and Midol.) The strength of the pill is 375 mg. It is the medium dosage in the series of Naproxen pills marketed by Mylan. The medication belongs to the family of NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and is used to treat pain or inflammation caused mainly by rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis (lower back pain), tendinitis, bursitis, gout, or even menstrual cramps. So, it has effects of a pain-killer, too. It may also be taken as a fever reducer.

Naproxen is a potent drug with some serious side effects. It can increase the risk of hazardous effects on the stomach or intestines, including bleeding or perforation (forming of a hole). So, one should not take Naproxen in dosages over prescribed.

Mylan M 755 Pill - generic Allegra

2009-10-23T00:50:00.000-07:00

We have already mentioned generic Allegra (Fexofenadine hydrochloride) manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals when we discussed M 752 30mg pill. Today, we are going on with the subject, adding one more pill to our collection. This time it is Mylan's M 755 pill, 180 mg of Fexofenadine HCl. This form of the medication is widely used in adults and children aged 12 and older to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis. Fexofenadine HCl can be used in children who are not 12 yet, but the dosage must be smaller. 180 mg (one M 755 pill) can be used after 12 years age is reached. Moreover, it is the usual recommended daily dose of the medication.

Oh, yes, the pill's color is blue :)

Mylan Generics

2009-10-21T00:47:00.000-07:00

As we have already stated, Mylan Pharmaceuticals is a well-known manufacturer of high-quality generics for popular brand-name medications. Among Mylan drugs we find NSAIDs (Indomethacin, Naproxen, Piroxicam), benzodiazepines (Alprazolam, Diazepam, Lorazepam, Temazepam) and other sedatives and anti-convulsant medications (such as Phenytoin), pain-killers and fever reducers (acetaminophen/propoxyphene mixture in the form of Darvocet-N), beta-blockers (such as Propranolol HCl) and other heart medications (Clonidine), antibiotics (Nitrofurantoin), diuretics (Furosemide, Hydrochlorothiazide), allergy relief medicines (Fexofenadine HCl), and more, more and more... The list is quite incomplete and is going to be expanded. We continue collecting data on Mylan's generics and working on the ways of identifying them. We'd like to thank everybody who takes interest in our activity and helps us make our project even more informative :)

M 321 Pill

2009-10-19T02:41:00.000-07:00

Some of Mylan pills are not indexed with the word "Mylan", they only have the letter "M" on them. One of such examples is Mylan's M 321 Pill. It is little, round, with "M" embossed on one side and "321" on the other. It is Mylan's Lorazepam (generic Ativan) again, 0.5 mg now. And it is the usual initial oral dose that is administered to healthy adults in the beginning of treatment.

Mylan 777 - 2mg Lorazepam Pill

2009-10-16T02:02:00.000-07:00

White round Mylan 777 pill is 2mg Lorazepam (generic Ativan). It is the highest dosage of Lorazepam manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals. Lorazepam is a sedative or anti-anxiety medication from the benzodiazepine family, ten times more potent than another benzodiazepine - Diazepam. When needed, the dose of 2mg Lorazepam taken at a time can be achieved only gradually, beginning at 0.5 mg, day after day increasing the dosage. So one should by no means start treatment taking whole Mylan 777 pills at once, as it may cause severe adverse effects.

Mylan's Lorazepam

2009-10-13T00:46:00.000-07:00

Among other well-known medications manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals we find Ativan. Of course, it is not called Ativan (as it is a brand name), it is Ativan's generic - Lorazepam. The pill of Mylan's Lorazepam is indexed "MYLAN 457" and contains 1 mg of Lorazepam. The only difference between Mylan's generic version and the medication distributed under the trade name Ativan is probably the name itself. Otherwise you get the very same drug with the very same properties. Apart from the fact that the generic version is cheaper.

Mylan 1010 Piroxicam Capsule

2009-10-11T23:31:00.000-07:00

Together with 2020 capsules (20mg), Piroxicam (generic Feldene) is manufactured by Mylan in a smaller strength of 10mg. These are Mylan 1010 capsules that can be found in several variations of color. As far as we have been able to determine, the capsule which can be described as olive-green is manufactured and distributed by Mylan Phys Total Care DHS, Inc and the capsule with differently colored halves (yellow and green) is a product of Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc itself. But both of them can be listed as Mylan pills, and both contain 10 mg of Piroxicam (Feldene) which is an analgetic and antipyretic that belongs to the class of NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).

Mylan A Pill - Alprazolam (Xanax) 0.25mg

2009-10-09T01:13:00.000-07:00

The pill indexed Mylan A is the smallest dosage of alprazolam (generic for Xanax) manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals. It contains only 0.25 mg of alprazolam. In fact, it is only one half of the usually taken 0.5 mg. But even this little pill is scored on the reverse to help the patient break it into two equal parts of about 0.125 mg in strenth. What does it mean? It just has to remind us one more time that Xanax is a drug with a high potential for abuse, and the chance of withdrawal symptoms is higher if the drug is taken in higher dosages.

Mylan's Darvocet

2009-10-07T01:00:00.000-07:00

Mylan Pharmaceuticals manufactures several formulations of generic Darvocet. Today, we shall compare two of them - distributed as Mylan 130 and Mylan 155.

Both of them contain acetaminophen 650mg, but the other component is different. In Mylan 130, hydrochloride salt of propoxyphene is used (this formulation can be called Darvocet - just Darvocet, without any additional labels). In Mylan 155, propoxyphene napsylate is used, and this formulation is normally called Darvocet-N 100.

Due to the fact that these propoxyphene salts have different molecular masses, the amount of propoxyphene in both formulations is the same, though Mylan 155 contains 100mg of propoxyphene (napsylate) and Mylan 130 - only 65mg of propoxyphene (hydrochloride). However, propoxyphene napsylate is claimed to have less risk of abuse, as this salt is almost insoluble in water and, as a result, it cannot be injected. Moreover, propoxyphene napsylate gives lower peak blood level. Both features make Mylan 130 less common as compared to Mylan 155.

Mylan 2020 Capsules - Piroxicam 20mg (Feldene)

2009-10-06T06:58:00.000-07:00

When it comes to treating osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, one of the most popular analgesic and antipyretic drugs is Feldene. It is also known as Brexidol, Brexin, Erazon, Exipan, Felden, Feldoral, Hotemin, Pirox, Proponol, Reumador, Tracam, Veral, Mobilis and Vurdon. All these brand names conceal the name of generic - Piroxicam. And you already know what Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. is renowned for. Generics, of course. You will find Mylan's Piroxicam inside Mylan 2020 capsules, in the dosage of 20mg - the usual therapy daily dosage, by the way.

Mylan's M 752 Pill

2009-09-08T07:49:00.000-07:00

Until recently, we had thought that there is no Mylan 752 pill. In fact, there really isn't, when speaking of a pill indexed with "MYLAN" letters. However, there is a pill with the number "752", and this pill is produced by Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. Instead of "MYLAN" it has a single letter "M". So, we should better call it Mylan M 752 pill (round, blue-colored). It is Fexofenadine HCl 30 mg, generic for Allegra. The medication mainly is used 1) to relieve symptoms associated with seasonal allergic rhinitis in adults and children aged 2 and above, and 2) to treat uncomplicated skin manifestations of chronic idiopathic urticaria in adults and children of 6 months and older.

Mylan 1560 - Phenytoin capsules

2009-09-05T03:45:00.000-07:00

One half of them is always white-colored. The other half is normally described as lavender, though some people tend to call it light purple or bluish gray. On both halves "Mylan 1560" can be seen printed in black ink. So, what do we have after all? It is extended-release Phenytoin (generic Dilantin), an anti-convulsant used to control seizures. The dose of Phenytoin Sodium in each capsule is 100 mg. The medication may have some specific adverse effects, among which we find a serious skin reaction with higher risk of development in Asian patients. It is strongly recommended to take a specific blood test before starting treatment.

Mylan 185

2009-07-21T01:44:00.000-07:00

Propranolol hydrochloride again. This time it is not a capsule, it is a pill (a tablet), small, round, yellow, scored, with "MYLAN 185" stamped on the front side. The letters are above the numbers, divided by the score. Each tablet contains 80 mg Propranolol HCl - the recommended initial daily dose, by the way. The medication belongs to beta-blockers and is used to treat hypertension, heart rhythm disorders and chest pains caused by angina pectoris.

See also: Pliva's propranolol.

Mylan 232 Tablet

2009-07-09T02:55:00.000-07:00

Now you can easily identify your Mylan 232 tablet. A new page is added to MylanPills.

Though it is almost the same as the page about Mylan 216, the image is different. The other difference is that Mylan 232 is indexed with "80" on the reverse. It means that the pill contains 80 mg of furosemide (generic Lasix) - twice as much as Mylan 216 pill (indexed "40").

Mylan 1700 Capsule

2009-06-30T03:05:00.000-07:00

Mylan 1700 capsule is light gray to brown, the index is written on both sides of it in black ink. As for inside, it is filled with yellow powder. This yellow powder is Nitrofurantoin macrocrystal used for the treatment of urinary bacterial infections. Each capsule contains 100 mg of Nitrofurantoin (generic for Macrobid, Macrodantin, Furadontin and some other brands). That's easy. The problem is WHAT is the difference between Mylan 1700 and Mylan 3422 capsules, apart of the fact that the first ones are brownish gray and the latter ones have one half in gray and the other half is peach-colored? BOTH are equal in strength - 100mg Nitrofurantoin. BOTH are stuffed with macrocrystals of yellow color (they dissolve slower than crystals of usual size, and it make the formula extended-release). WHY does Mylan Pharmaceuticals manufacturers two types of capsules that seem to be very similar? That is the question we are not ready to answer. Perhaps, Nitrofurantoin crystals do differ in them some way? Will anyone comment, please?

Mylan 186

2009-06-18T03:36:00.000-07:00

The other version of Mylan's Clonidine is Mylan 186 - a 0.2mg tablet (white, scored), used to treat hypertension, etc (the same as with Mylan 152, just the strength is twice as much). Clonidine is also available with a prescription under the brand names Catapres and Duraclon, but they are not Mylan's products.

Mylan 152

2009-06-18T03:19:00.000-07:00

Mylan 152 white tablet is Clonidine 0.1 mg. (The writing is divided by a score, the reverse side of the tablet is blank. "152" may sometimes look as "752".) The medicine is used to treat hypertension. But affecting the brain chemicals (and only then, as a result, the blood vessels), Clonidine is also used to treat painful menstrual periods, menopausal flushing, diabetic diarrhea, Tourette's Syndrome, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), postherpetic neuralgia, ulcerative colitis, and withdrawal symptoms from dependence on narcotics, alcohol, or nicotine (smoking), although these are not approved by FDA.

Mylan's Alprazolam (Mylan A Pills)

2009-06-16T11:29:00.000-07:00

We have data on four different alprazolam pills manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals. All of them are indexed with "A" and three of them have a number: A1, A3, and A4. Surprisingly, the strengths of the pills don't change from less to larger in correspondence with the numbers:

Mylan A is alprazolam 0.25 mg,
Mylan A1 is alprazolam 1 mg,
Mylan A3 is alprazolam 0.5 mg,
Mylan A4 is alprazolam 2 mg.

As for description, A, A1 and A4 pills are white, and A3 pill is peach-colored. All of the pills are scored on the reverse side, with A4 pill having two criss-crossed scores (to be divided into four parts about 0.5 mg of alprazolam each).

Mylan 5211

2009-06-14T07:52:00.000-07:00

Omeprazole (generic Prilosec) is used to treat symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux
disease (GERD) and other conditions caused by excess stomach acid. Mylan Pharmaceuticals manufactures this medication in the form of green capsules indexed Mylan 6150 and Mylan 5211. In Mylan 5211 the amount of omeprazole is 1o mg (as compared to 20 mg in Mylan 6150). Omeprazole is one of the most widely prescribed stomach drugs available under various brand names throughout the world and it may be used for the treatment of irritation of the esophagus caused by GERD, for healing of erosive esophagitis, for the treatment of alcoholic or life-style associated gastritis, for short-term treatment of ulcers of the stomach or small intestines, and even to decrease the risk of stomach bleeding in patients suffering from severe forms of ulcers.

Mylan 6150

2009-06-13T11:31:00.001-07:00

Description: dark/light green capsule with "MYLAN 6150" written on its sides.
Drug: Omeprazole (generic Prilosec)

Mylan 5050 is a little yellow capsule with black imprints "MYLAN 5050" on both sides. It is used to treat insomnia, so it may be called a sleeping pill. Its active ingredient is Temazepam (Restoril), a sedative medication. Each capsule contains 30mg of Temazepam, twice as much as another Mylan's generic - Mylan 4010. Temazepam also features anticonvulsant properties and it is used to manage seizures in adults. Though it is highly effective, its use as an anticonvulsant is rare due to its sedative, hypnotic and motor impairing properties.

What Is Your Mylan Pill or Capsule

2009-04-02T23:31:00.000-07:00

We are starting this blog as an addition to our Mylan Pills website.
We are studying the problem of identifying different pills and capsules that have "MYLAN" with some other letters and numbers imprinted on them.

Sometimes you find such a pill (or a capsule) in your child's room, and you may wonder what kind of drug it is. Perhaps, it is dangerous? Or one of your relatives has got some health problems he or she does not want to speak of? Or you are just not quite sure of the medication that has been prescribed for you, and look for more details.

Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc is a well-known American company. It manufactures generic versions of popular medications. Each Mylan pill/capsule has some letters and numbers imprinted on it. So, you may easily find out what chemical is "hidden" under those symbols. The only problem is that the information you need is not always so easily available. You have to browse through several websites doing your search before you find the proper description and, perhaps, images to compare your Mylan pill with them.

We are trying to solve this problem by collecting all the necessary details and keeping them "in stock".

For example, you've got an orange capsule with "MYLAN 4010" written on it. What kind of medication is it? The number 4010 says that it is Temazepam, also known as Restoril. The capsule contains 15mg of Temazepam. The medication is used to treat insomnia. More info and an image of the capsule you can find at this page: Mylan 4010.

And so on. We continue developing our project, adding more pages for more Mylan products.
