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.

;)
