The Hype
The hype for the Pill Identifier is really having one source to go to that has a large amount of data about the different pills that have been manufactured that can be checked in one place. It really saves time for those that want to check a certain pill so they don’t have to try and go to every pharmaceutical site to try and identify it.

Final Pill Identifier Review
We are going to give the Pill Identifier a thumbs up, but we cannot stress enough that this is a resource that should be used with the proper cautions. Any doubt as to whether the proper identification has been made using this resource should encourage the user to talk to their pharmacist or health care provider.
Our Recommendation
Another problem that can arise with pills is not remembering to take them or being able to follow a proper schedule. The Ezy Dose may be really helpful with this.
