Solid dosage form identification databases

History The legitimate pharmaceutical products available vary greatly from country to country. National pharmacopoeias define medicines available in each country, but generally do not provide much data on physical appearance. The physical appearance of branded medicines usually differs when marketed in different countries and manufacturers are seldom familiar with their own products from other countries. Several identification systems have been developed in the UK over the years. There are no international databases of the physical appearance of legitimate solid dosage forms. Paradoxically, there is more uniformity in illicit tablets found in different countries; the same designs and logos on ecstasy tablets are seen all around the world.
