💡 How to Identify Pills Safely
🔍
Examine Carefully
Look at the pill under good lighting. Note the color, shape, and any text or logos stamped on both sides.
📏
Measure the Size
Use a ruler to measure the pill in millimeters. Size helps narrow down the medication significantly.
📝
Record the Imprint
Write down all letters, numbers, and symbols exactly as they appear. These imprint codes are unique identifiers.
🧑⚕️
Consult a Professional
When in doubt, bring the pill to your pharmacist. They have databases and expertise for accurate identification.
📸
Take a Photo
Photograph both sides of the pill next to a coin for scale. This helps pharmacists identify it remotely.
⚠️
Never Guess
Do not take any medication you cannot positively identify. Incorrect pills can cause serious harm or adverse reactions.
