Pill identifier

Have u ever gotten home from the pharmacy and went to take your pills and they are no longer white and oval but green and round? You wonder, did the pharmacy mix this up or is this a new generic? If you're like me and live 25 miles from the pharmacy, here's a great tool!! This is a great pill identifier!
