I was helping my Mom with her meds this morning and she has two brownish orange pills in her organizer. She doesn't remember what they are. How can I find out what they are for future knowledge?
What if there is no imprint on the pill?

From Drugs.com:
All prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs in the U.S. are required by the FDA to have an imprint code. If your pill has no imprint it could be a vitamin, diet, herbal, or energy pill, or an illicit or foreign drug. It is not possible to accurately identify a pill online without an imprint code.

For future pills, as soon as your mother buys them write on a label what they are, if they don't already say what they are.

BTW, dispose of it safely by taking it to you local drugstore.
Also, perhaps the Pharmacist/Chemist may help you id the pill.
