I need to know if this is the correct medication - it is supposed to be phentermine but it isn't oval - it is round, ( like asprin ) with blue specks and the only mark on it is that it's scored on one side.

‹ 4 pills and 1 capsule I need identified.Can someone please help me? ›

Sorry

Lisa123,

It's not possible to accurately identify a pill without an imprint.  Could be anything.  In the US all prescription, over the counter and homeopathic meds have to have an identifier.  So your pill could be a vitamin, supplement or foreign med.   Many foreign medications don't have markings.

I'm not a pharmacist or a medical doctor. This message is not medical advice nor is it an offer to provide medical advice. All drug identifications should be validated by a licensed MD or pharmacist.

Foreign Med

We can ID several based on markings, but if the drug has no markings, it's not possible to determine what the med is without expensive lab testing.

If the med came in a blister pack that is intact, there should be the manufacturer's name, drug name, dosage, country of origin, lot code and expiration date on the blister foil.  I would assume the drug is what it's purported to be if the blister pack is intact.  If the pills came loose in a baggie, I'd toss them real fast!

Toss em

Yep, they did come loose in a baggie! I haven't ever seen anyone deliver medication this way before. The postmark is also from India. Thanks for your help.

You're welcome!

The pills could be legit, but I wouldn't chance taking anything that I wasn't positive about.  It's too risky.
