Reagent test result on the patient leaflet was not what I expected. Colour described below.

A scored oval with a two-letter code is usually a generic but the code is manufacturer-specific.

Pellets inside a capsule are normal for enteric formulations and are not a sign of anything.

Enteric coatings should not be crushed, and the pellets are the delivery mechanism rather than filler.

Reagent tests are a screen, not an assay. They rule a family in or out and say nothing about dose.

Any ideas welcome, and I will report back what the pharmacist says.

The pain score conversation is thirty seconds of my life I will never get back, every time.

How do you get a clear photo of an imprint? Mine keep coming out blurry.

Daylight, no flash.

Sorry, probably obvious, but where do you even start with something blank? Not on the patient leaflet but the pattern is familiar.

Take one to a pharmacist. Free, two minutes, correct. Everything else here is a hypothesis. Tolerance was my main issue with the patient leaflet too.

It gets smaller. Not easy, smaller. That distinction kept me going.

Imprint databases are mostly US-centric. A confident hit for another market is still a guess.

Personal experience, labelled as such, is exactly right here. Nobody is prescribing.

Access to mugs should be on the clinical questionnaire.

Small wins count. Walking to the mailbox is a data point.
