Purple capsule pill identifier

A purple capsule 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 capsule pill; find the imprint that matches yours to confirm it. Never take a pill you cannot positively identify.

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.
