An oblong scored tablet from a reputable-looking shop. The packaging is the part that bothers me.
Foil thickness and seal pattern are where counterfeit blisters fail.
Imprint is the strongest signal, colour is the weakest, and the shape only narrows the manufacturer.
A scored oval with a two-letter code is usually a generic but the code is manufacturer-specific.
Holograms are the least useful check because they are the one everybody makes.
Country is in the details, which I know matters.

Take one to a pharmacist. Free, two minutes, correct. Everything else here is a hypothesis.

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