I think 2mg were white and 5 mg were yellow but I may be wrong.

Could with a couple myself.

Well with that I can only think that Blue were 10mg Beni, which only confirms that at the time I was taking them I was a bigger basket case than I thought

Yes, My recollection was the 5mg ones were yellow, but then it all went pear shaped when they started prescribing the generics.......they could be any colour shape or size.......and this would confuse those taking them....who were already confused to start with

Re: What was it called?

And what about 'Andrew's Liver salts' Used to love the way they 'fizzed' and I remember drinking quite a lot one day and then having to spend a few days very near to the bathroom!!. Is it true they were a sort of hangover cure?

Yes, but my recollection of Andrews, was you had to drink it all down while it was fizzing....it didn't taste so bad while the fizz was on it, but if the fizz went, it was 'orrible.
