Neat Logo

So far we haven't found anything. We know of one database that has Oriental drug images - Rawoody submitted the website, and it's listed in our Resources for Pill Identification

Yesterday I scrolled through every image and found nothing with the same logo. The logo is really neat yet hard to describe. Thank you very much for your picture.

I was hoping to find the manufacturer and then maybe a list of meds made by the company so we could give you some possibilities. But that didn't happen obviously.Frown

Then we looked for anti-inflammatory drugs that come in 5 mg dosage tablets because of the '5' imprint. Didn't find any in the US or Canada. Mobic (meloxicam) is the lowest we found, and it's 7.5 mg. Maybe the '5' has nothing to do with the dosage or else there are other NSAIDs in the world that are commonly made in 5 mg form.

Hopefully someone else will see your post and great picture and be able to help you identify the med or at least the manufacturer.

Interdrugs Logo - Thailand

Looks like the logo on the pink tablet matches the symbol on the Interdrugs label:
