Found an oblong scored tablet with no box. Before I guess, here is everything I can see.

Light quality ruins more identification photos than anything else. Daylight, no flash.

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

A smell that is wrong is a reason to look closer, not a verdict. Excipients do most of the smelling.

Does this ring a bell for anyone?

Worth repeating that this is not medical advice and the answer often depends on who you are. How long have you been on an oblong scored tablet?

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

Bring a list. Embarrassment makes everyone forget things, including you.

Careful with attribution. You changed the timing, the dose and the season. That is three variables.

Batch and expiry copied from a real box will already be nearly expired. That is the tell. Same for me with an oblong scored tablet, unfortunately.

Imprint first, country second, colour last. And photograph both sides in daylight.

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

My pharmacist has become my actual doctor and I am at peace with it.

Access to mugs should be on the clinical questionnaire.
