I just got my medication from TDI yesterday, It is Butalbital #3. I have always had the same color capsule {Blue and Yellow} for as long as I have used them. This one is from Jerome Manufacturing and the color of the capsule is Gray and Blue with a V on one side of the capsule and the numbers 3109 on the other.
Can anyone help me find out if this is the right med?? I am concerned that I got the wrong one and TDI is almost impossible to get hold of.

I just checked on RX List and couldn't find anything. Here is a suggestion though....call one of your local pharmacies and tell them that you found a loose pill with your meds and want to know what it is. You could also call poison control and they will be able to help you.
Good luck.

when you cant identify a pill , rx-list is a great way to do it. You just put in the # and it will give you shapes and colors to choose from ( which should match your pill) its is a great informative web site. - just for anyone who wants to know and hasnt tryed it yet - I look up generics all the time just to make sure i got the correct pills

Hi Rhonda, Fluffy is exactly right, it's the generic for Fioricet #3. My old prescription for the Fioricet #3 w/codeine was always blue and yellow but the generic is blue and gray, you just got the generic instead of the name brand. EMJ

That's half right. The blue and grey is generic Fioricet #3. But the Blue and Yellow is not name brand Fioricet it is Fiorinal #3. The only differnece is the yellow has asprin and the grey uses tylenol. Everything else is the same. One really odd thing is one is a schedule III the other Schedule IV. It is one of the oddball scheduled meds since the parts making is scheduled are the same, yet using Tylenol instead of Asprin pushes it from a C-IV to C-III???

PS: The Fiorinol actually works better for me. There is nothing in the Fioricet that reduces swelling and some headaches are at least in part caused by localized swelling
