Question : yes what is a pill that is pink heart with stamp GPL 20

Answered by Dr. Shafi Ullah Khan (3 hours later)

Brief Answer: ANtiviral, HIV. Detailed Answer: Thank you for asking! It is not GPL 20. It is GP 120. Glycoprotein 120 is an HIV virus receptor upon which many antiviral act. Galactosyl ceramide or a derivative is an essential component of the neural receptor for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 envelope glycoprotein gpl20. So from that i will guess some anti viral for HIV. But i would say throw it where you find it. FOund in a truck. Does not belong to you. So stop worrying. It most likely is antiviral. I hope it helps. Dont forget to close the discussion please. S Khan

Brief Answer: Most likely Detailed Answer: Thank you for asking back! First of all we dont know for sure what the drug is , it was just an intelligent guess based on your description. Now speculation to that extent is an obsession. If i am right then it is to be taken for HIV type 1 and GP 120 is the receptor of HIV virus through which it acts at human target cells through ribosomal entrance. But as i said, it was in the truck, leave it in the truck and move on Please. I hope you see it in a right perspective. S XXXXXXX
