My cat is on 10mg amitriptyline. Every time I have got it previously it has been a very small pill with the imprint I1. This time it is a larger pill with the imprint I3. My vet says it's the right dosage but when I put it in the pill identifier it tells me it's the 50mg tablet.
Is this amitriptyline 10mg?

Even if you did not have it filled at a pharmacy, a Pharmacist can identify the pill for you for sure. They have several resources they rely on. I'm a pharmacy technician and I know this for a fact.

Hi, Kikyo!
Can you describe the tablet... color and shape?
Did your doctor give you the pills or did you have a script filled at a pharmacy? If at a pharmacy you can ask the pharmacist to ID the pill.
I'll wait to hear back from you,

Both the the new pill and the old one are round and a orangish brown color. They look the same except for the imprint and the new pill is bigger. My vet gave me the pills.

Our Identifier didn't come with a definitive answer. Since we us human medications I would also advise you to have your pharmacist ID the tablets.
