Pill Identification
Pill Identification is a process used to identify substances contained within a pill, usually illicit substances. Since illicit drugs like MDMA are bought from drug dealers on the black market, both the source and contents of the substance are unknown. Pills sold by dealers as Ecstasy, may not contain the desired substance, usually being MDMA. Testing the pill can show if substances, such as MDMA, are present.

Pill Identifications Made Both Definitive and Easy
Pill identification depends first and foremost upon your reading the markings (technically know as the imprint) correctly and finding them in our database. When the pill in the example above is turned upside down, the user may see the logo reversed as seen in the example above. Take your time! You are only a few clicks away from the correct ID for your over the counter drug or prescription medicine.
To make a definitive drug identification, we will lead you through a series of specific steps or mouse clicks. Our drug imprint codes are categorized into their logo, alpha and numeric parts. Always start by selecting any logo first, and then follow the flow through the site. If you do not find a particular string of numeric or alpha characters in the numeric or alpha look-up fields, continue on to the remainder look-up where they also might be. By selecting any logo first and checking each imprint feature against each of the successive screens, the site will guide you to a definitive drug identification. Other drug references cannot make a drug ID involving any graphic logo markings, because they exclude the logos from their database searches. By using all the information in a tablet, capsule or pill imprint, including the graphic logo, searching our website leads to a positive drug ID.
