How can the tablet be identified by markings on it?

Tablets can be identified by specific markings such as numbers, letters, or symbols imprinted on their surface. These markings often include the manufacturer's logo, the drug's name, dosage strength, and a unique identification code, known as an imprint. By comparing these imprints to a reference database, such as the FDA's Drug Identification Database, one can accurately identify the tablet and its intended use. Additionally, color and shape can further assist in the identification process.
