Can anyone identify this pill/tablet? The imprint is actually carved into the tablet straight across on one side only. Thanks

Is the L on top of the #'s? with a shape inside of the L..? Printed in black on a coated like pill?

No. The L873 is carved straight across on one side of the tablet only.

While I cannot tell you exactly what you have there, it is an OTC by LNK. They make OTC meds that are sold as store brands like for wal-greens, wal-mart, etc. Their pills are marked Lxxx.

Thanks for the input. Does LNK have a website?

Unfortunately LNK does not have a list of their products available online. Some of the older ones can be found in some of the online pill ID databases, but not all of them, and rarely are there photos of them.

I actually found the address and phone number of LNK International, Inc. I'll give them a call and see what they can tell me. Thanks again.

Hi inkblot,

When you call LNK, ask for Arlene.

She's great and very helpful.

Please let us know what the pill is. Thanks.

Will do!

Spoke with Arlene at LNK. She said the tablet is not one of theirs so back to the drawing board! FYI...She stated that products from LNK usually begin with L44 or L5 then three more numbers.

THis is probably a perrigo product. They also make OTC products like pain relievers, cold and sinus products.

I might not always be right, but I'm never wrong.

I found a company by the name of Leiner Health Products out of California that also makes OTC's for local stores. Since the marking begins with an L, I thought I'd look into it. Will explore Perrigo as well.

It's a 4mg nicotine polacrilex tablet for smoking cessation, similar to Commit Lozzenges. I know as I am currently on day 11 of not smoking after 30 years of doing so, thanks to them. They are available on Ebay under the brand name Equaline.

Thanks for solving the mystery!

The white tablet you are referring to is a nicotene lozenge. Sainsbury's sell these as their own brand and they contain 4mg. They are used to help quit smoking. Hope this helps.
