A half tablet in an organiser. Scored, no imprint, and it is supposed to be my blood pressure medication.

Weight and dimensions are how blank tablets get identified, and you cannot do that from a photo.

Genuine cartons have print that aligns to the die cut. Copies drift by a millimetre or so.

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

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

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

Same here.

Tolerance was my main issue with a half tablet in an organiser too.

The hologram is the least useful check because it is the one everybody makes.

Ten percent cuts, of the current dose not the original. That is the arithmetic that keeps it survivable. Tolerance was my main issue with a half tablet in an organiser too.

How do you get a clear photo of an imprint? Mine keep coming out blurry. Not on a half tablet in an organiser but the pattern is familiar.
