Could Yellow Orange Capsule With Mylan 4010 Imprinted On It Be Antibiotic Cepahlexin 500mg?

I have an old yellow orange capsule in an Rx bottle written to me that states that it is Cephalexin 500MG, which I know to be an antibiotic. However, I m not sure if that capsule really is Cephalexin. I need to know what the capsule I have really is. Description: yellow-orange with Mylan 4010 imprinted on it. I ve attempted looking it up in my Nursing Handbook, but am unable to find it. I know the colors in the book are not true, but I can t find anything with those markings on it. Can you help, or do I need to simply ask my pharmacist?

Hi & Welcome.

The given description of imprint MYLAN 4010, having a yellow - orange color of oblong shaped capsule is indicative of medicine Temazepam 15 mg.

Temazepam is a benzodiazepine and is commonly used to treat sleep disturbances such as trouble falling asleep or staying asleep.

Hope this answers your query.
