By Food and drug administration regulation, every doctor prescribed, narcotic, over-the-counter, veterinary and homeopathic drugs and a growing number of tablets, capsules, and soft gels in these classes must display a image or emboss with which its id can be achieved. All these identifying markings are collectively recognized amongst drug information specialists as imprints. The Food and drug administration has dictated the markings but made no provision for cataloging imprints nor searching catalogs for them.

There were a number of solid dosage form identification directories developed since the first one was introduced in 1974. The early databases contained a collection of the alphanumeric information and physical properties. Searches are made by an unsophisticated string search.

Some others have images in publications. These resources are not complete, are difficult to find a pill, and are out of date the same day they were published. On account of space limitation, and availability, the quantity of pictures of pills is consequently incomplete. Furthermore, whether or not the database is in hard copy or the latest online, the sad fact is that the photos are not searchable. Today, with more than 20,000 imprints in the U.S. market, finding a solitary image out of thousands is a overwhelming undertaking.

Computer, and later web based data sources, cataloged only alphanumeric details in addition to coloring, shape and scoring. All competitive databases aren't able to catalog any logo graphics that may be a part of the imprint. The search mechanisms typically consist of a simple match of the alphanumeric details, along with other descriptors like the color, shape and scoring. Any logo graphic is merely thrown away in any competing database.

A search of this kind often results in dozens, occasionally more than one hundred, possible matches and the consumer must select the final choice by choosing the closest match. Even when the final choice is reached, the imprint information is often incomplete simply because no company logo image details are included on the results display. This results in the consumer wondering if he's discovered his / her pill or not.

Because uncertainty in choosing the mark exists, the best tablet and capsule imprint databases recognizes that mistakes can be simply made when allowing an individual to make the final selection when all the imprint features may not be present.

The solid dosage form id database producers have continued to tweak flawed methodology for small improvements in the state of the solid dosage form identification art. But they neglected to come up with a good solution to this problem. Consequently, any attempt to make an id with competing databases are neither simple nor definitive.

It was clear a whole new paradigm is exactly what was needed.

Drug Identity Information first identified three persistent challenges in the drug identification field:

1. Having to choose from a list of products where the user needs to make the final selection, hence making the chance of being incorrect.

2. Lacking all the information in the imprint displayed to verify the selection made is correct.

3. Unavailability of an identification caused by incomplete databases.

To solve the problems, solutions were first characterized:

To positively and specifically declare the ID, each lookup of an imprint database must lead to a unique solution.

To confirm that the ID is correct, all the information from the imprint must be documented and displayed as confirmation.

To accomplish confidence in making an identification (ID), the database has to be all-inclusive.

These three requirements were used to set goals that would distinguish the Pill ID .com process from other providers of information in the field. The first goal is accomplished by the implementation of our patented process that sets the guidelines by which both the imprint is cataloged and the user ultimately makes the identification. This also ensures that a pill id done on www.pillid.com guides the user to a definitive end result in every case.

The second goal is achieved by displaying the confirming color, shape and scoring of the dosage form is displayed confirming the pill identification. The screen also notifies the user of a possible duplicate imprint when there is one.

Lastly, the third objective is reached because Pill ID.Com utilizes the most comprehensive database available.
