Purple pill identifier

A purple pill could be any of many medications — the imprint (the letters or numbers stamped on it) is what actually identifies it. Below are drugs from the FDA’s DailyMed data that come as a purple pill; find the imprint that matches yours to confirm it. Never take a pill you cannot positively identify.

By the pharmaranks editorial teamReviewed against FDA DailyMed (Structured Product Labeling) sourcesUpdated Jul 23, 2026How we research

Showing 140 of 232 purple pills in our data — read the imprint on your pill and search it to narrow to the exact match.

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.

Physical descriptions come from FDA DailyMed Structured Product Labeling. Color and shape narrow the field but do not identify a drug on their own — only the imprint does, and even then, confirm with a pharmacist before taking any medicine you are unsure about. General reference, not medical advice.
