I found this from a previous post on this site. I tried looking up the information you gave about the pill, but nothing came up. If you only select orange for the color of pill you will get many pages worth of pills. If you know what shape the pill is that would also help. Here is the link:

by any chance do you know if this is an orange pill? we found it in a prescription bottle but the bottle had 2 different type of pills in it. i really hope i can find a pic of this pill. thankyou

pill is round and coated---the other pill we found we believe to be ecstasy --- this patient is very lethargic --- we have run a tox screen,

That may be an aspirin but I am on vacation and dont have any good resources at home. I was able to find this but have no way to verify it is correct. If you have to have it confirmed you could always contact the company. I am willing to bet though it is an Aspirin.

P 19 is Enteric Coated Aspirin, a round orange enteric-coated tablet made by Pharmaceutical Formulations. (Active Ingredients: aspirin 325 mg).

If you have the Micromedex (sp?) on your OS - it may have a section called Identix for pill/tablet ID/Mfg/OD management.

Otherwise Poison Control has this program or one like it -

Good LUCK.
