Question I live in the United States. I found two different kinds of pills. One is a yellow and white capsule with the word ethex on the yellow half and the number 041 on the white half. The other is a green oval tablet with a 93 on one side and a 33 on the other. Somone I asked said they were Oxyconin, but I can't find pictures that match up. If you could identify them that would them, that would be great.
Answer Dear Shannon
The tablet with ethex 041 are 40mg oxycodone (the active drug in Oxycontin). The 93/33 ones are also oxycodone but the 80 mg strength. Both are high dose and should not be taken by persons not use to this drug.
