Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

The words and numbers that you are noting on the individual tablet may be related to the company that produces the medication but would not help to identify it.

You can look at the package insert that should have come with the medication to see if the name is correct. Alternatively you can take it to your local pharmacist you may also be able to determine what it is.

I hope this helps
