Identify Unknown Pills Safely

Finding an unknown pill in your medicine cabinet, on the floor, or in a family member's belongings is a common and concerning experience. Before AI identification, your only options were calling a pharmacist or searching databases manually by entering the imprint code. Our pill identifier lets you simply photograph the pill and get an instant match. This is especially useful for caregivers managing multiple medications for elderly family members.

How Pill Imprint Codes Work

The FDA requires that most prescription and over-the-counter medications in pill form carry a unique imprint code. This code may include letters, numbers, logos, or a combination. For example, the code "TYLENOL 500" identifies a Tylenol 500mg tablet. The imprint code combined with the pill's color and shape creates a unique visual signature that our AI uses for accurate identification. Even partial or worn imprints can be matched in many cases.

Important Safety Information

This tool is for informational purposes only and should not replace professional medical advice. Never take a medication based solely on AI identification. If you suspect someone has taken an unknown pill, contact Poison Control (1-800-222-1222) or call 911 immediately. If you find medications you cannot identify, bring them to a pharmacy for proper identification and safe disposal rather than keeping them in your home.
