Not at home so I can't tell you it's name but I only take one a day. Of course they HAD to give me a pamplit that tells me I shouldn't eat ANYTHING but I ignored that and with the pill I don't have any problems. I did try and take myself off of the pill about 3 months ago and quickly found I really do need it.
