Pill Identification Wizard, at Drugs.com
This is extremely useful if you have an adverse reaction or allergic reaction. It isn't always easy to figure out who the drug manufacturer is froms the capsule or tablet, or the label on hte prescription bottle. Using the Pill ID Wizard, you can find out that info and, depending on how computer literate you are (cutting and pasting, and basic formatting in a word processing document), you can start to build your own illustrated reference guide, one that will be of you to you as a memory aid, and that you can hand your pharmacist or physician when needed. Here's an example of a page I just created for me.
