Drug Identification
The US Drug Enforcement requires verification by means of ID photo or a copy there of from all customers who purchases items containing Pseudoephedrine. It is a violation of law to purchase more that 75 grams of Pseudoephedrine in a 30 day period through the mail. Identification is therefore a safety precaution.
Lexi-Drug ID is a drug identification tool that gives you the ability to quickly identify unknown medications. By using a visual descriptor or combinations of descriptors, each medication in a patients' drug regimen can be identified. This resource provides valuable information to help improve patients' safety, facilitate dialogue and avoid medication errors.
The Lexi-Drug identification tool is easy to use. The database is designed to identify drugs base on a number of visual and other descriptors:
-Physical imprint and markings
-Color shape, dosage forms
-Brand name
-Generic form
-National Drug Code (NDC) number
-Labeler
Unfortunately there are no images contained in the Lexi-Drug ID database on handheld devices, it is text-based only.
