What databases are available to visually identify oral medication found without packaging? Are there different databases for US, European, Far East, etc?
There are several "pill identifiers" available online:
You enter the shape and color of a pill and any imprints and you get the pictures with drug names.
There are apps for mobile phones:
-
You take a photo of a pill and you get the info.
Or you go to a search engine and type "recognize my pill" in or so.
ResourcePharm.com has a page: "Identify Foreign Medicines" with links to lists of drugs in various countries.

For which area do you need to know? All non-US areas, Europe or something more specific? – Jan Mar 23 '18 at 18:11

Western Europe, Central Europe, and Russia would be helpful. Thanks! – rickhg12hs Mar 23 '18 at 18:12

Try them. Drugs.com also has a forum, where you can get answers from the staff, I believe drugs.com/forum/pill-identification . – Jan Mar 23 '18 at 18:16
