Hi,
Thanks for writing to us,

Teva is a company manufacturing drugs and one of their products, venlafaxine HCl 37.5 mg has a hard gelatin capsule, with grey cap and peach body that is filled with white pellets inside and imprinted with 37.5 on the body and "N" on the grey cap. It is most likely to be the same tablet that you mentioned. This is an antidepressant belonging to the class- Selective serotonin norepinephrine inhibitors (SNRIs). These are indicated for Depressive illness, anxiety spectrum disorders etc.

Hope this helps,
Dr A Rao
