What Could Be The Red Gel Capsule About 3/4 Inch Long?
We recently had an overnight guest stay with us. The next day we found a large red gel capsule (about 3/4 inch long) under the corner of the bed he slept in. There are no markings on it...looks like the candy hot tamale only slightly bigger and feels gel like..... What is this?

Hello,
As per the description is given, the drug appears to be Docusate which needs to be confirmed by a pharmacist, or a doctor. It is a stool softener used to treat or prevent constipation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
