Hi,

I was hoping for some help...broke a rib at the weekend and got some drugs given to me at hospital. Only problem is no idea what they are.

They gave me a white hexagonal pill with B 10 on it and a green oval pill with DA and SLT on the other side.

If anyone has been given these before and know what they are please let me know .... I'd like to know what they are. I'm a little confused as to why when I surely only need a painkiller I have two pills!

No info on packaging look like they were bagged up in the hospital in see through perforated plastic.

I don't know about those identifiers specifically, but in Korea they prescribe a digestive aid with painkillers to keep people from getting an upset stomach. I assume that's what the other pill is.

If no one here knows about those specific pills, any pharmacist can help explain what they are.

Take a photo or make a copy of your prescription next time (if any) before you turn it in at pharmacy. Without precise names on your prescription, there's no way of finding out what those pills are unless your doctor personally explains it to you in full detail.
