BigTip$ asked in HealthOther - Health · 1 decade ago

I need to find a website that will tell me what a pill is by description.?

I know there is at least one site that I should be able to punch in the color/shape/imprint and it will show/tell me exactly what it is.

Thanks.

Update:

The 2 links given so far were not very useful, but thanks for trying.

Anybody else know of another?

BTW I don't plan on taking the pill, a friend found them in her teenager's room.

I think talking to a pharmacist will be the way to go.

    a prescription will customarily have a code on it. You can do a seek at the code on-line to peer what it's. The ML could also be for Meyers Labratories, and I think they make aspirin. I could simply odor the suspect tablet and spot whether it is vinegary smelling, (aspirin customarily is) or examine different bottles of aspirin within the residence to peer in the event that they fit.

    I do not know a site burt a pharmacist could tell you. There are books also that do exactly what you are wanting. As for taking something you have no idea about BAD IDEA
