Finding an unknown pill can be disconcerting, especially if you want to find out what the pill is without asking other people in your household. Although there are no blue pills with a heart logo listed in any pill databases, the heart logo itself is rare enough as an imprint that it makes identification easier. On the other hand, if you cannot find a close match for this kind of pill, there is the possibility that it came from a source other than a pharmaceutical company.
Step 1
Look for other identifying marks and details. Many pills with heart imprints have numbers printed on the same side or the other side. Also note the shape--most pills with a heart logo on them are oval in shape, though a few are more circular.
Step 2
Use an online pill identifier. Drugs.com and Rxlist.com both have searchable pill databases that you can use to identify your pill. However, neither database has an entry for a blue pill with a heart logo imprint on it, although they have entries for both blue pills and pills with a heart imprint. There are fewer entries for pills with a heart-shaped logo on them---most of them are for irbesartan, with one for aspirin. Look to see if your pill is a close match to any of those, aside from color. Drugs.com allows you to view pictures of the pills in your results, so start with that database.
Step 3
Go to a pharmacy. If none of the pills with a heart logo match your pill, take the pill to your local pharmacy. Because heart imprints are fairly rare, your pharmacist should be able to help you identify the pill. The pharmacist may also be able to tell if the pills are crudely made, which would suggest that they are not from a pharmaceutical company and instead could be illicit.
