Pill Identifier

Not sure what pill you're looking at? Enter the imprint code, shape, and color to help narrow down what medication it might be.

Prescription and over-the-counter pills are stamped with an imprint — a combination of letters, numbers, or symbols — along with a shape and color that manufacturers use to identify each medication and dosage. Use these details together, since many pills share a similar color or shape but have a unique imprint.

How to identify a pill:

  1. Look for the imprint code on one or both sides of the pill.
  2. Note the shape (round, oval, capsule, etc.) and color.
  3. Check for a score line (a groove for splitting the pill).
  4. Enter these details into the search above to see possible matches.
