Name Of Pill Something Like 'M 89' Or 'W 68'. What Is The Medication For?
I take several prescriptions and every now and then the supplier of the medicine is changed by the pharmacy, which sometimes changes the shape, size or color of the pill . I have a pill that I cannot identify in my travel medication . It s a small round white pill with M 89 or turned the other way is W 68 on it. How can I find out what this medication is? I don t think it s a supplement .

Hello,
Thanks for posting
Except order wise M 89 is meloxicam 15mg tablet. Meloxicam is used in the treatment of osteoarthritis; rheumatoid arthritis; juvenile rheumatoid arthritis; tendonitis; inflammatory conditions (and more-pain), and belongs to the drug class nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents.
W 68 = M 89 but the actual imprint is M89 according to the manufacturers.
Wish you the best.
