Found a half tablet in an organiser with no box. Before I guess, here is everything I can see.

A batch number and an expiry that are almost up on a new purchase usually means the box was copied.

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

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

Holograms are the least useful check because they are the one everybody makes.

Would rather not guess, which is why I am asking.

Enteric coatings should not be crushed. The pellets are the delivery mechanism. Not on a half tablet in an organiser but the pattern is familiar.

If it came with a repeat slip, the slip beats every database. Currently on a half tablet in an organiser myself.
