Watson 242

As you may easily see, a larger number in a Watson pill's index means a higher strength of the medication, or a larger amount of the active ingredient (of course, if we speak of a series of pills containing this ingredient). We have already examined 0.5 mg lorazepam pills made by Watson Pharmaceuticals (indexed Watson 240). In Watson 242, you can expect a higher dose of lorazepam. And you are right, as Watson 242 pills contain 2 mg of it. To make it even more clear, these Watson pills do not only show a standard number, but a little figure, too (0.5, 1, or 2). In Watson 242 pills you may see a "2" under the "242" index on the reverse side.

Watson 746

One more Watson product, one more widely used medicine: lorazepam (brand named as Ativan). Watson Pharmaceuticals manufactures a series of lorazepam pills, which range in strength from 0.5mg to 2mg. The pill indexed "Watson 746" is the least strength, i.e., it contains 0.5 mg of lorazepam. Description is simple. Watson 746 pills are round, yellow and scored on one side, with the index debossed on the other.

Watson 241

Watson 241 pill looks almost the same with Watson 240 pill: white, round, scored. The number is the only essential difference, as it tells the strength of the pill (together with the active ingredient, Lorazepam). It is 1 mg. The manufacturer is Watson Pharmaceuticals Inc.

Watson 240 Round White Pill

Let us explore another group of pills with "WATSON" letters on them. This time the pills are round, so they can as well be called tablets. The numbers on them range from 240 to 242. "WATSON" is debossed on one side, and the numbers are placed on the reverse. All the three of them are lorazepam (i.e. generic Ativan) pills different in strength. Watson 240 is the least strength of only 0.5 mg. The fact is obvious because the strength of the pill is debossed together with the number "240" on the surface divided by a score. As you may know, lorazepam is an anti-anxiety medication which belongs to the class of benzodiazepines. In other words, a sedative.
