That would be a good question for a pharmacist or a doctor.

Okay, according to drugs.com (and I can't guarantee this is correct), the round white one is Zolpidem Tartrate, which is a sleeping pill.

The second one comes up as Cyclobenzaprine, which is a muscle relaxer.

You can take them to a pharmacy to get an official identification.

there sleeping pills


wize guy
you are nosy ... ty


wubzy_wubzy_wow_wow
look up the pdr (physicians desk reference) online, and you should be able to match the pill up with a color, numbers, and shape

i believe the pill marked pliva is the company that makes the medication


ldelms
I suggest calling your local pharmacist and describe the pill to him or her. They have went to college for several years for their degree and they are more qualified to help you. Good luck.

You should just ask him instead of poking around in his medications when he is not around.

Best way to find out is to take it to the pharmacy and ask them. They will know for sure.

I'm not sure, but if there is any label at all your best bet is to search for the active ingredient. You can always take one to a doctor for his/her opinion. Good luck.

Why not ask your husband? If not, then take the pills to a pharmacy and ask the pharmacist.

WHY NOT ASK YOUR HUSBAND?

ok the first one is Ambien and it's a sleep Aid, the other one is something having to do with the bladder or bowels-i couldn't find much on the second pill, so maybe it's best to call a pharmacy-they can answer questions like that with no problems.

Take them to a pharmasist first and ask them what they are. Either that or ask his doctor if he/she has him taking anything, if not you should find out.

You should ask him, directly.

Marriages are based on open communication and trust. If he doesn't tell you when he's taking a new med, you have a right to ask him, and also ask him why he didn't tell you about them, since you would be the first person to handle his medical issues, if he was incapable.

I would be more concerned about why he didn't tell me than what they are, but one answer might provide the information for the other. Regardless, you have a right to know.

The first is a sleeping Pill -

Zolpidem Tartrate
Generic name: Zolpidem Tartrate
Brand names: Ambien

Why is Zolpidem Tartrate prescribed?
Feedback for Zolpidem Tartrate
As a treatment for... Avg User Ratings [?]
Insomnia 7.215 comments Rate it!

Compare with other drugs.
Ambien is used for short-term treatment of insomnia (difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, or early awakening). A relatively new drug, it is chemically different from other common sleep medications such as Halcion and Dalmane.

Most important fact about Zolpidem Tartrate
Sleep problems are usually temporary and require medication for a week or two at most. Insomnia that lasts longer could be a sign of another medical problem. If you find that you need this medicine for more than 7 to 10 days, be sure to check with your doctor.

How should you take Zolpidem Tartrate?
Ambien works very quickly. Take it just before going to bed. Take only the prescribed dose, exactly as instructed by your doctor.

--If you miss a dose...

Take Ambien only as needed. Never double the dose.

--Storage instructions...

Store at room temperature. Protect from extreme heat.

What side effects may occur?
Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, tell your doctor immediately. Only your doctor can determine whether it is safe to continue taking Ambien.

More common side effects may include:
Allergy, daytime drowsiness, dizziness, drugged feeling, headache, indigestion, nausea
Why should Zolpidem Tartrate not be prescribed?
There are no known situations in which Ambien cannot be used.

Special warnings about Zolpidem Tartrate
When sleep medications are used every night for more than a few weeks, some may lose their effectiveness. Remember, too, that you can become dependent on some sleep medications if you use them for a long time or at high doses.

Some people using Ambien--especially those taking serotonin-boosting antidepressants--have experienced unusual changes in their thinking and/or behavior. Alert your doctor if you notice a change.

Ambien and other sleep medicines can cause a special type of memory loss. It should not be taken on an overnight airplane flight of less than 7 to 8 hours, since "traveler's amnesia" may occur.

When you first start taking Ambien, until you know whether the medication will have any "carry over" effect the next day, use extreme care while doing anything that requires complete alertness, such as driving a car or operating machinery. Older adults, in particular, should be aware that they may be more apt to fall.

Use Ambien cautiously if you have liver problems. It will take longer for its effects to wear off.

If you take Ambien for more than 1 or 2 weeks, consult your doctor before stopping. Sudden discontinuation of a sleep medicine can bring on withdrawal symptoms ranging from unpleasant feelings to vomiting and cramps.

When taking Ambien, do not drink alcohol. It can increase the drug's side effects.

If you have breathing problems, they may become worse when you use Ambien.

Possible food and drug interactions when taking Zolpidem Tartrate
If Ambien is used with certain other drugs, the effects of either drug could be increased, decreased, or altered. It is especially important to check with your doctor before combining Ambien with the following:

The antidepressant drug Imipramine (Tofranil)
The antipsychotic drug Chlorpromazine
Serotonin-boosting antidepressants such as Paxil, Prozac, and Zoloft
Drugs that depress the central nervous system, including Valium, Percocet, and Benadryl

The second is a muscle relaxer -

cyclobenzaprine Hcl tablets, USP 10 mg are indicated as an adjunct to rest and physical therapy for relief of muscle spasm associated with acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions.

Improvement is manifested by relief of muscle spasm and its associated signs and symptoms, namely, pain, tenderness, limitation of motion, and restriction in activities of daily living.

cyclobenzaprine Hcl tablets, USP 10 mg should be used only for short periods (up to two or three weeks) because adequate evidence of effectiveness for more prolonged use is not available and because muscle spasm associated with acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions is generally of short duration and specific therapy for longer periods is seldom warranted.

cyclobenzaprine Hcl tablets, USP 10 mg has not been found effective in the treatment of spasticity associated with cerebral or spinal cord disease, or in children with cerebral palsy.

Ask your husband.

But make sure you have one of each pill first, in case for some reason he doesn't tell you! That way you can take it to the pharmacist and find out. Either way you should talk about it with him, it might not be something serious at all.

the white one is generic Ambien (sleeping medication) and the orange one is generic Flexeril (muscle relaxant).

563 orange = muscle relaxant
74/93 white = A sleeping pill

Both are generics of the more popular brand names (Flexeril) muscle relaxant and Ambien (sleeping pill).

Nothing bad. Two common things now a days.

At least they aren't pills for a disease or something, then I'd worry!

the white one is Teva Pharmaceuticals which is Zolpidem Tartrate and the orange one is a muscle relaxant called Cyclobenzaprine Hydrochloride


Lexicat
Yep, the people who say the orange pill is generic Flexeril are right. I take that exact same drug for muscle tension and back pain. I don't know about the white pill.


Jay
Cyclobenzaprine Hydrocholoride is Pliva 563.

It is a muscle relaxant.

The other is Zolpidem Tartrate.

A sleeping pill.

The benzoids are highly addictive and neither of these medications should be taken without a doctor's prescription.
