Found a green capsule and not sure what it is? Green capsules include some of the most culturally recognizable medications in modern medicine — including Prozac.

Identify Your Green Capsule
Enter the imprint code from your capsule for an exact match — or search by shape and color to browse all options.
Look for text printed on both halves of the capsule. Green capsules often have white or contrasting print. The Prozac capsule (green body/off-white cap) is distinctive, but many generic fluoxetine versions appear similar with different imprints. Enter the complete code from both halves with "green" and "capsule" in PillID.
Some green capsules contain controlled substances (chlordiazepoxide is Schedule IV). Always verify the source of any pill. For emergencies, call 1-800-222-1222.
