Mylan's M L22-L27 Pills
Another instance of only using letter "M" to index pills manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals is Mylan's "M L" series which is distinguished by variable numbers debossed on the pills. Mylan Pharmaceutical produces and markets several absolutely different medicines labeled with these letters, and we are going to inform you about all of them, one by one. Today, our subject is Lisinopril (generic Zestril or Prinivil), a drug which is mainly used to treat hypertension and cardiovascular disease symptoms. It is distributed by Mylan in pills of six different strengths, from 2.5mg in pills indexed "M L22" to 40mg in pills indexed "M L26". Interesting enough, the sequence of indexes does not end at "26". The last pill in the series is marked "M L27", although it is a bit weaker in strength than the previous one, and only contains 30mg Lisinopril.
The whole set looks like this:
M L22 Pill - 2.5 mg
M L23 Pill - 5 mg
M L24 Pill - 10 mg
M L25 Pill - 20 mg
M L26 Pill - 40 mg
M L27 Pill - 30 mg
The whole set looks like this:

Mylan 183 - 20mg Propranolol HCl Pill
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 152
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.
