Here’s a very interesting website! It’s Pill Identifier. I have it bookmarked. I sometimes take prescription medication for pain, and all the bottles and pills of mine plus everyone else in the family is confusing. Sometimes I find a loose pill and I have had no idea what it is. This website will help you identify the pill. You type in the imprint from the pill (most prescription medications have a number and/or letter on them). The website will give you the closest matches. The site is completely free to use.

The website also helps with another very important issue– drug compatiblity and drug side effects. I am ALWAYS searching online, looking for side effects and other issues when it comes to medication. I won’t take any medication until I am fully aware of what it does, what possible side effects are, and if there are other medications/foods I need to avoid while taking it. I type in the name of the medicine and a plethora of search results appears, some basic and some very detailed. I think this is a great resource! If you have medications or your kids do, keep this site in mind. It definitely pays to be better informed about what’s going into your system!
