Identify Your Pink Round Pill
Enter the imprint code from your pill for an exact match — or search by shape and color to browse all options.
Examine both faces of the tablet for an imprint. Pink can range from pale rose to deep coral depending on the manufacturer's dye formulation. Write down the imprint exactly as it appears, then enter it along with "pink" and "round" into PillID's identifier tool.
Because some pink round tablets are Schedule II opioids (such as oxycodone 5mg), it is important to verify identity before handling. A pink round pill obtained outside of a licensed pharmacy should not be assumed safe. If you have any concern about the contents of a pill, contact Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222.
