What the Gelbe Liste IDENTA does

The Gelbe Liste IDENTA is an online tool for searching and identifying medicines by their physical appearance. With IDENTA you can identify tablets, capsules and other solid oral dose forms quickly and reliably, and check them for divisibility.

Alongside thousands of images, Vidal MMI Germany GmbH also provides descriptive texts of the tablets for pharmazie.com, so you can research solid oral forms both by picture and by description.

What you see

The database shows dosage form, shape, color, diameter, width, length, height and weight. The visual images of the medicines are also shown within the general product information, so you move from an identified tablet straight to its details.

  • Dosage form and shape
  • Color
  • Diameter, width, length and height
  • Weight

The database currently contains around 5,500 images and is updated monthly.

Highlights of this database

Identify medicines by appearance

Match an unlabeled tablet or capsule to its product record using what you can actually see: form, color and dimensions. IDENTA turns a physical dose form into a confirmed identification.

  • Works for tablets, capsules and other solid oral forms
  • Visual images shown next to the general product information

Descriptive texts and divisibility checks

Beyond the images, Vidal MMI Germany GmbH supplies descriptive texts for the tablets, and IDENTA lets you check whether a given medicine can be divided.

  • Descriptive tablet texts alongside the images
  • Divisibility check for solid oral forms

Maintained and current

The data is sourced from Vidal MMI Germany GmbH in Neu-Isenburg and refreshed on a monthly cycle, so identifications stay aligned with the current product landscape.

More background information

Identifying a medicine from the tablet alone is a recurring task wherever loose or unlabeled dose forms turn up, from the hospital pharmacy to the dispensing counter. Without the original packaging, form, color and dimensions are often the only clues to what a patient is actually holding.

Why visual identification matters

Confusing two similar looking tablets can have direct clinical consequences. A structured, image based reference lets professionals confirm an identity instead of guessing, and check whether the tablet may be divided before it is split.

Appearance plus data in one place

IDENTA links the visual side of a medicine to its product record. Once a dose form is identified by its picture, the general product information is one step away, which keeps identification and follow up research in a single workflow.
