Hi John,

I don't know if this applies to where you are from, but U.S. law requires that all prescription drugs have unique letters or numbers (sometimes in addition to a logo of some kind) imprinted on the tablets or capsules so the medication can be identified by manufacturer, substance and dosage.

As far as I know, there are quite a few "non-prescription" pills and supplement pills that aren't required to have an imprint.

Is this something you ordered online or got without a prescription? That may explain a few things if you did.

Hi David

I'm in the UK and the pills were on prescription by my GP and were supplied by the practice pharmacy. I have noteced that they are not as effective as some other brands that are sometimes issued.
