Seems pretty formulaic, three little pills.
Pill 1: White, round, looks like asprin, has LOX on 1 side and H M on other
Pill 2: Green Oval, has SLT on one side and DA on other.
Pill 3: Small white sugar coated pill with S J Sch imprinted on one side
Anyone have the lowdown on these. The nurse kinda chucked them in my hand and bundled me out of the door  |

| you should have received a receipt (big blue prescription) to take to the pharmacy (yak). That receipt has the English names of the pills. Or if they gave you a long plastic package straight from the docs, the drug names will be on the plastic packs. Then do a search. |

Last time I was in I got Codeine, Darvocet, and who knows, probably Oxycontin or something. Good grief I had coworkers back home who would have a party over here if they knew those meds were being passed out like candy.
I just stuck to my regular regimen of booze to kill my pain. |

A couple of sites are helpful
http://www.drugs.com/imprints.php
I find this to be semi-useful with Korean medications.
Most will show up on there, some don't though.
at
http://www.druginfo.co.kr/
you can search English ingredients and it will tell you which medicines include them.
Say if you're looking for the Korean name of a medicine from back home. |

This one worked, but its this page:
http://www.druginfo.co.kr/identy/identy_char.aspx
Just type in the letters in the two search spaces above the logos.
Anyway, the green one is for your tummy. I guess its to stop the side effects of one or both of the other two.
The small sugary white one (SJ Sch) is Afloqualone which is some kind of muscle relaxant deriving from Methaqualone.
The round white pill (HM LOX) is Loxoprofen. I think thats the anti inflammatory.
What do i know? Im not a doctor. But i guess those are your three standard pain meds for mild pain they give you, so now anyone who gets them knows what they are. |
