How can I easily identify a drug?

• Imprint or Marking for Side 1: Enter the imprint from the first side of the oral solid (e.g., '93').
• Imprint or Marking for Side 2: Enter the information from the second side of the oral solid (e.g., '7295').

Please note:

• If you would like to search by manufacturer logo, type 'logo' in side 1 or side 2.
• You can add all or part of an imprint for each side.
• If the imprint/marking contains spaces, the spaces are ignored in the search.
• The time for the search varies as the program looks for all combinations of the characters with and without spaces (e.g., 729, 7 29, 72 9). It is best to enter all the letters or all the numbers if you are uncertain about the spacing.

• You can select up to three (3) unique colors from the drop-down list. For example, searching for 'blue' returns all results containing the color blue, while searching for 'blue' and 'yellow' returns all results containing the colors blue and yellow.
• Not selecting any colors (leave as 'optional' from the list) returns all color results for your search criteria.

• Select a shape from the drop-down list (e.g. 'oval').
• Not selecting any shape (leave as 'optional' from the list) returns all shape results for your search criteria.
• To find character shapes (e.g., Scooby-Doo chewable vitamins), select 'Other.'

Scoring refers to the value assigned to an oral, solid dosage form as determined by the scoring indicated in the product's labeling.

Select a value from the drop-down list:

• ‘All’ (default value): Returns both scored and un-scored results for your search criteria.
• ‘Scored’: Returns only those oral, solid dosage forms with scoring (the drug item has one or more score lines)
• ‘Unscored’: Returns only those oral, solid dosage forms that are un-scored, or for which scoring is not applicable.

Dosage Form refers to the value associated to an oral, solid item.

Select a value from the drop-down list:

• 'Both'; (default value): Returns both tablet and capsule results for your search criteria.
• 'Tablets':Returns only those oral, solid tablet dosage forms.
• 'Capsules':Returns only those oral, solid capsule dosage forms.
