What Does This Imprint Mean?
The characters "V259" stamped, printed, or debossed onto this pill are its imprint code. Manufacturers are required by the FDA to give every tablet and capsule a unique imprint so it can be identified after it leaves its original packaging. Combined with the pill's shape and colour, the imprint is the fastest way to confirm exactly what a loose pill is.

How to Identify This Pill
- Read the imprint code exactly as it appears (letters, numbers, and any dividing line) — it is the single most reliable identifier.
- Note the shape (round, oval, capsule, etc.) and colour, and compare both against the details above.
- Check the size if you have a ruler or pill gauge — imprint plus size narrows down look-alikes.
- Compare the pill photo above side-by-side with the physical pill in good lighting.
- If anything does not match exactly, do not assume — confirm with a pharmacist before taking it.
