- 1). The best place to go first is the Internet. Drugs.com has a pill identifier section that can assist in finding images of pills. Check http://www.drugs.com/imprints.php . You can search by imprint, color, shape, manufacturer and commonly searched imprints.
- 2). If the pill identifier doesn't help, head to the Drugs.com forums. There's a section titled "Pill identification." Go to http://www.drugs.com/forum/pill-identification/ Register and post a question and someone will hopefully help. You can also search through older posts and see if someone else has already asked about your particular pill.
- 3). A pharmacist or doctor will be able to identify most pills, so you can check with your local pharmacy or family doctor.
- 4). You can also check with the local police department. Most police have experience confiscating prescription pills from individuals and have charts that supply the identity of each pill. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency website has a drug chart available for anyone to see: http://www.usdoj.gov/dea/images_narcotics.html.
- 5). You can also contact Ratiopharm directly through their website and ask for a possible identification. Go to http://www1.ratiopharm.com/ww/en/pub/press_center/contact.cfm.
