Question
hi. I came across a pill in my 18 year old daughter's room that was hidden in her top drawer. It is white, round, and has the number 100 imprinted on it. She is currently not on any medication. I would like to know what kind of pill this is and what she could be using it for.
Thank you for your help

Answer
Imprint Code: 100    
Hi Amber,
You have not informed me if the tablet is scored or other details. In the absence of this info, I can only give the three possible alternatives. Please compare their description with what you have found.
I hope this helps you.
Regards
