Pill Found With Kids With Imprint Of 224 On Top, 3850 Below It On One Side, No Other Marking On Other Side. Any Ideas?

Yes please. I found a pill that has the imprint of 224 on top of one side and right below it, on the same side is 3850. The other side is scored like an X with no other marking. Please help.
Thank you so very much! I have young kids in the house and this scares me as I found it on the floor.
Thank you!
REALLY,I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS??

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

Your concern regarding the potential harm to your children is understandable.

It is difficult however to determine what possible harm can occur without the exact name of the medication. The markings that you mentioned unfortunately, will not help to identify it.

If the tablet is whole, at least you know that it was not partially ingested by one of your children.

You may have to speak to the other adult members of your household or anyone who may have visited recently to find out the name of the medication and therefore any potential harm it can cause.

I hope this helps
