How to Identify Common Medicines quickly?
Here we are sharing some fast and secure ways where you can easily know about your pills. By rule, every pill, tablet, or capsule approved by the FDA must be unique to make identifying each pill easier.
Here are the different characteristics to look for:
- Shape/Color
- Pattern
- Imprint code
- Medication Name
To identify a pill and any medicines, you can go online and look for pill identification tools. For example, Poison Control Centers have a pill identifier that may help. You can search by imprint code, shape and color, or medication name. Enter the imprint code or medication name first. Add shape and color if needed.
Identify Pills by Shape, Color, and Imprint
Identifying pills by their physical characteristics is useful in ensuring you’re taking the correct medication. Each pill approved by the FDA has a unique combination of shape, color, and imprint, making it easier to identify. Here are some of the most common shapes and imprints that people search for:

FAQs on Pill Identification
Question 1: What do the imprints on pills mean?
Answer – The imprints on pills are unique identifiers that include letters, numbers, or symbols. They are used to identify the medication’s name, strength, and manufacturer. For example, popular imprints like “IP 110,” “M367,” and “L484” are often searched on Google. These imprints help ensure you are taking the correct medication and can be crucial in emergencies to prevent drug interactions or errors.
Question 2: What if a Pill Has No Imprint?
Answer – If a pill has no imprint, it could be a vitamin, dietary supplement, herbal product, or an over-the-counter medication that doesn’t require identification by imprint. However, it could also be an illicit or foreign drug. It’s crucial to avoid taking any unidentified pills. For safety, consult our forensic experts to perform a complete analytical and chemical study.
Question 3: What do the colors of pills mean?
Answer – The colors of pills are used to help identify the medication and can sometimes indicate the manufacturer or the specific type of medication. For example, popular searches on Google include “blue pill L490,” “yellow pill V3601,” and “white pill IP 115.” However, color alone is not a reliable way to identify a pill, as different drugs can be the same color. Always use the imprint code and other physical characteristics to accurately identify a pill. For precise identification, consult our forensic experts.
Question 4: What are the different shapes of pills?
Answer – Pills come in various shapes, each serving a distinct purpose in medication administration. Common shapes include round, oval, oblong, square, and triangular. These shapes aid in easy swallowing and can also help identify the medication type. However, always rely on the pill’s imprint and other physical characteristics for accurate identification.
