Free Pill Identifier

You just can't have too many free online pill identifiers.

This one from AARP (Association for the Advancement of Retired Persons) is kind of nifty. I like the interactive interface, and suspect you will too.

FDA Drug Identification Service

• People also search for FDA CGMP online training courses

I was surprised to discover this service. According to the FDA Drug Identification webpage:

"Division staff can identify drugs for you based on physical appearance (color, shape, size, etc.) and markings. Email DDI your drug description at druginfo@.fda.hhs.gov. 

We will identify drugs for you as soon as possible. However, please note that this is not an emergency service. In the case of an emergency, please contact the Poison Control Center 1-800-222-1222."

Online drug and pill identifiers are like cars. Each one has its own style, and drivers prefer one style over another. Here's another resource, a drug identifier offered by the Medical University of Southern Carolina (MUSC). Enjoy!

Drug Identifier - Put one on your PC

Put this on your PC. It's software that can help you identify prescription drugs lying around, whatever the reason, your pills, a friend's, maybe your children's medication . . .

Another Free Pill Identifier - for your smart phone or PDA

A lot of folks are interested in free drug pill identifiers. I just learned about this free software from Epocrates, "Epocrates Rx." I'm not an Epocrates user, and I haven't personally downloaded or used this software. From what I can tell, you can register for a free account, and then download the free "Rx" software.

The free software is designed for use with smart phones and PDAs. What's neat is that the software provides:

1. Pill ID <-- capsules="" drugs="" feature="" identify="" li="" pills="" tablets="" this="" to="" use="">
2. Drug Information
3. Drug Interactions
4. Formulary Information
5. Free Updates
