How To Identify If The Watson 540 Is An Original Or Fake?

Just got my prescription for Watson 540 10/500 and they are darker blue. I ordered them online and wanted to know what the pill should look like. I also wanted to know if the center is also blue. It also Has a bitter taste. How to spot a fake would help. Thank you so much.

Hello

The Watson hydrocone/acetamenophen tablet is elliptical with Watson 540 imprinted on one side and a dividing score line down the middle of the other side.

However if the color is a different shade of blue from your previous tablets, I would question the validity of the tablets and you should show them to a pharmacist to authenticate the medication
