A two-tone capsule from a reputable-looking shop. The packaging is the part that bothers me.

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

Foil thickness and seal pattern are where counterfeit blisters fail.

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

The same imprint exists in several markets for different products, so country matters more than the database.

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

How do you get a clear photo of an imprint? Mine keep coming out blurry. A year in on a two-tone capsule and it lines up.

Ten percent cuts, of the current dose not the original. That is the arithmetic that keeps it survivable. A year in on a two-tone capsule and it lines up.

Batch and expiry copied from a real box will already be nearly expired. That is the tell.
