what is this tablet???

Ask your daughter?

Who knows on a Internet forum. Could be anything.

I’m a pharmacist OP, I would not identify a tablet brought to me by a member of the public. This is because:
A) Despite my job, I can’t confidently identify all tablets by appearance. In fact, there are many I’ve never seen outside the foil packaging.
B) There is a question of confidentiality for the person who is taking them.

I hope your daughter is able to talk to you and it doesn’t turn out to be anything illegal/harmful.

You could do what my sister did when she found a splif in one of her daughters rooms. Working on the principal that if it was illegal they wouldn’t say anything she smoked it. I would remove the pills but keep quiet.
Just to add but please don’t take offence, if it is MDNA I would be concerned. DS was spiked with MDNA earlier this year. I ended up in A&E with him after he put his hand through a window while he was in a paranoid anxious state. We reported it to the police at the request of school ( found out later that there had been a number of 6th formers spiked). The officer who dealt with it told us that there were 3 reasons individuals were being spiked 1. for sex 2. robbery 3. spite/fun

This 😁

Actually it doesn't look like the one on the link.

If she has hide it she doesnt want you to find it. Could it be the morning after pill?

Or could be ecstasy

In either case it's not the end of the world. Just a good conversation

Take it and find out

It's a recreational drug

Amphetamines? Used recreationally to stay awake and also as appetite suppressant.
Classic physical sign if under the influence is dilated pupils. Also they can’t stand still.

Doesn't look like any illegal drug I have seen

MDMA

Yeah that’s not a contraceptive pill, they don’t design them to be halved like that.

OP, there are many types of meds that have similar markings so you're not going to be able to identify it from a Google search. I work with teenagers and based on the many similar pills that I have seen I would say this is most likely street drugs, as in a 'fake' product rather than a prescription pill that has been sold on. Whether its an upper or a downer I couldn't say, but the best way to find out is probably by talking to your daughter.

But why would the pill be designed to be halved if your not meant to (like with a contraceptive pill).

It is clearly a tablet that has been designed to be half dosed if need be - that’s the purpose of the big groove across the diameter.

I mean many things are technically possible. It could have blew in her window and landed in a drawer without the DD knowing anything about it!

But the most obvious answer is usually the answer, and that is that it is a recreational pill.

Ritalin. Treats ADHD most commonly but people use it for dopamine, it's a stimulant

Could it be this?

Your best bet would be to take it to a pharmacy. Unless it's totally identical to any picture you find on the internet, you can't be sure that's what it is. There's more than one pill that will have and A and an 8 on them. People showing you pictures of pills they've found on the internet that look kind-of-a-bit-similar-but-not-quite-the-same isn't going to help you.

Pretty certain it isn't a contraceptive. It's far more hassle to remove them from the blister pack let alone halve them. Normally the imprint code allows you to identify them but this doesn't seem to be the case with this tablet. The 8 and the bisected tablet also suggests it is a dose of 8 something (?mg) that can easily be halved to 4. Good luck.

They do, but that's a 20yr old report of that pill design. Ecstasy tablets tend to come and go in fashions with designs and a snapping point isn't in the usual style.

Are there any other markings? On the other side of the pills? Do they look well made or cheaply pressed and powdery?

A8 appears on a list of ecstasy pills here https://erowid.org/chemicals/mdma/mdma_images_gallery1.shtml

Also- your picture makes it look textured, is that because you have zoomed in- is it bobbly/bumpy and not smooth like a typical paracetamol say?
If it is textured then it will most definitely be recreational.

You might if it wasn't your prescription, friends sharing meds so only taking half to make the tablets they have last longer etc. because someone's Mum has let them start taking it etc. etc.

Not saying I agree or disagree either way, but just to say there might be a reason that it is a contraceptive pill out of its packet.

Hi OP, I'm pretty sure it isn't a contraceptive.
Hopefully a qualified pharmacist will come on here and correct me.

The shape of the A like branding is making me a little suspicious.

I have done a Google search on the image and nothing is matching.

I would ask her as soon as she comes home, if it seems like she's fobbing you off I would take it to a pharmacy.

How old is she?

Let's be real, you don't have contraceptive pills out of a packet, nor would you half it.
It's obviously some sort of recreational drug.
OP you aren't going to know without speaking to her.

Was there something in particular that made you search her room in the first place?
