The pill imprinted “MOT”
The imprint MOT appears on 3 different products in the FDA data: Motrin Ib 200 mg, Motrin IB 200 mg, Ibuprofen 200 mg. Match the colour and shape below to your pill.
The pictures are diagrams drawn from the shape, colour and imprint on the FDA label — not photographs of the actual tablet. Identify by the imprint, and confirm with a pharmacist.

This is what the label lists, and nothing more. An ingredient not appearing here does not mean the product is free of it — formulations differ between manufacturers and between generic versions of the same pill, and “gluten-free” or “dye-free” is a claim only the manufacturer can make. If you have coeliac disease or a diagnosed allergy, confirm with the pharmacist against the pack in front of you.
Before you rely on this
A pill’s appearance varies between manufacturers and generic versions, imprints wear off, and two different drugs can share an imprint. Everything here is transcribed straight from the FDA’s DailyMed labels — we do not alter or infer it — but treat any identification as a starting point and confirm with a licensed pharmacist before taking or discarding a medication.
