Identify Your Yellow Oval Pill
Enter the imprint code from your pill for an exact match — or search by shape and color to browse all options.
Inspect both faces of the tablet for an imprint. Yellow varies from pale straw to deep gold between manufacturers. Enter the imprint, shape, and color in PillID. Meloxicam tablets (a very common yellow oval) often have a score line on one side.
If no imprint is found, the tablet is likely an OTC supplement. For any emergency, call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222.
