What?How?
Pillbox enables rapid identification of unknown solid-dosage medications (tablets/capsules) based on physical characteristics and high-resolution images.

Once a medication is identified, Pillbox provides links to drug information and drug labels.
Combining data derived from drug labels submitted to FDA by drug manufacturers and distributors and NLM's RxNorm, Pillbox is an identification and reference system for oral solid-dosage medications.

Pillbox's data and search engine are also available through an API.
