Question QUESTION: hi i have found a pill it is small and light blue with a white dot going through the centre no other markings can you help many thanks
ANSWER: Hi Sheila,
With no markings t is not possible to identify the pill. The possible reasons are:
1. The pill is generc
2. The pill is made in a country where NDC markings are not applicable.
I regret being unable to help.

QUESTION: hi thanks but do you think is is an illegal drug as there are no markings do you know or have you heard of anything like it sorry to be a nuisance
Answer Hi Sheila,
You are not at all a nuisance. In fact we are around to help. No this is not necessarily an illegal drug. Identification codes are complsory only in some countries, but not in others, additonally there are some categories of drugs where these codes are not required. Best destroy the drug and forget it.
