Way To Find Out Narcotic?

I am trying to identify a narcotic I accidentally mixed with other medications and I cannot remember the dosage of each pill. There are two pills, both very small, one light yellow and one pale blue. They are quick acting narcotics. Scored on one side and no numbers on the other side but a photo that looks like a ladies short hair cut with no face in the centre. Or you can say it was a half circle on top and two connected to it on each side. Are you able to tell me which narcotic it is again and the dosage of each pill, yellow and blue? I thought they were hydromorphone for bone pain, but I cannot find any photo and o not want to guess at the dose before I take it. Thank you!

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

I'm sorry to say that it is not possible to definitively say what drug you took or the dosage of that just based on the colour and description of the drug. The reason is that different pharmaceutical companies can have tablets manufactured in different sizes, colours or shapes.

Even if you take a good guess, it is not safe to make any conclusions based on such guesses. If you have a legitimate need for a narcotic drug, please see a doctor for further evaluation and a proper prescription.

Wish you all the best.

Regards,
Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar
