Tag: U22 imprint

According to the FDA, every prescription and over-the-counter pill must carry a unique imprint code for identification. When you find a pill marked with the letters and numbers “U22,” it is a crucial piece of information, but it is not enough on its own to identify the drug; other factors like shape and color are vital because a white round U22 pill can indicate a highly controlled opioid, while an oblong U 22 pill is a beta-blocker.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, prescription opioid misuse is a serious public health issue, making accurate medication identification crucial. A search for the **U-22 pill** can lead to two very different drugs: Atenolol, a beta-blocker, and Oxycodone, a potent opioid, with the primary difference being a space in the imprint.
