Hey I found this around the house no label or anything. Looks pretty old to. It’s plastic and has an in graving that says 3viii. There was powder at the bottom till I shook it up, smells like a little a little alcohol too. Has a child safety cap so can’t be that old. Here is a picture

Thank you
Can’t really say what it is.
I wouldn’t put it in my mouth if I was you.
Laudenum is opiod and some form of alcohol I think. It hasn’t beem around for probably at least a century and no matter how curious I got, would I fuck stick it in my mouth.
3 viii is the old obsolete symbol for fluid ounces and viii is 8. You have an 8 fl oz bottle of any unspecified OTC medication which is unlikely to be laudanum and could contain anything. Laudanum is contraindicated across the whole world (even though it remains on US and UK formularies) and even its less strong forms stopped being widely prescribed when I was a small boy (child safety containers were only introduced in late 1970s in the UK). One reason given for OTC opiates (some strong ones existed even in the 1970s) was due to lobbying from Post Office Telephones; addicts would crack open the red phone boxes near any pharmacy to get the coins to buy the stuff..
As usual, GL has the best answer, which echoes parts of my answer. Don’t drink shit from unlabelled bottles that would predate the titannic.
Yea I its really sketchy if it was anything it would be codeine but wouldn’t that have a label? anyway Im not touching it, it must decades old to not have a single label or dosage info

It is possible it at one time had a label and that may have listed very interesting contents but unfortunately that not being the case now, you are indeed wise to not drink that shit yourself. Especially without paying someone else to try it 1st just to be on the safe side.
the label could have worn off – this is less common with OTC pharms in Europe but there are probably rules about what glue you must use (usually Germany or Denmark identifies some everythiing proof but eco-friendly glue specially for these kind of labels and advises the rest of EU to use it). Unfortunately I cannot easily check those bottles in store and they will be all metric sizes anyway; and in my country anything class A (schedule 1 or 2) US is counted to the last drop or tablet; they write all the transactions in some 1970s type handwritten bound book and various govt authorities can inspect it at any time.
I went through many pages of Google and pill I’d sites and ask a doctor sites. Then they said I had to pay 32$ for an answer so I’m just gonna forget about it. There is no evidence of labels ever being on it at all. Besides the 3viii ingraving there is just measurements, very weird. Could I call a pharmacy lol?
If you are in the UK, you could possibly send a sample to WEDINOS to get a categoric answer to it’s contents via GC/MS.
you could hand it in at poison control or pharmacies but they are unlikely to test it nor give it back to you for recreational use (thats illegal the world over).
it probably was some OTC med which could crudely divided into dosages using the graduations but that also means its unlikely to be as strong as laudanum. It may not even be intended for humans.
And it may well have degraded so badly over it’s lifetime that it could well be deadly.
