Found a peach, salmon, or light orange round pill and not sure what it is? This color is tricky — pill databases may categorize the same tablet as "orange," "peach," or "pink" depending on the source. The imprint code is always the most reliable way to identify a pill, regardless of color. Below are the most commonly encountered peach and salmon round pills.

Identify Your Peach Round Pill
Enter the imprint code from your pill for an exact match — or search by shape and color to browse all options.
Peach and salmon colors sit between pink and orange, and different pill databases categorize them differently. If searching by "orange" doesn't return your pill, also try "pink." The imprint code is far more reliable than color alone for these in-between shades.
Look for an imprint on both faces of the tablet and enter the complete code in PillID's identifier. For any concerns about an unknown pill, call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222.
