Water Pill, Diuretic, Printed As V 18 85. What Is It?

I am trying to identify a pill which I found using this site from a different computer. I have now forgotten exactly what the imprint was on it, but I think it was V 18 85 and it was identified as a water pill (diuretic). I would like to know the name of it.
The last digit of the imprint could be wrong, but I didn't find it by changing the number.

Hello,

Thanks for posting your query,

Well it is also hard to tell which pill that is exactly but knowing the class already is something we can work on. Water pills are generally known as diuretics used to drain excess water from the body through diuresis. They are several different classes such as thiazides, potassium-sparing, loop, osmotic etc. Now I am wondering why you maybe searching for the name of a prescription medication. I believe that if you require treating any specific condition, you can just go to your doctor then he would decide which one to give you.

Hope this helps
