Which company makes the “E56” quetiapine pill?
“E56” is an imprint code used on certain tablets, but imprint codes alone usually aren’t enough to identify a single manufacturer with certainty. The manufacturer depends on the specific quetiapine product strength (mg), dosage form (immediate-release vs. extended-release), and the country/market where it was dispensed.
To identify the exact manufacturer, you’ll typically need one or more of the following:
- The strength printed on the tablet (for example, 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, etc.)
- Whether it’s immediate-release or extended-release (often shown on the box or the prescription label)
- What’s printed besides “E56” (sometimes the imprint includes additional letters/numbers)
- The National Drug Code (NDC) from the medication bottle/box (most reliable)
Fast way to confirm the manufacturer on your bottle or box
Check your prescription label or the carton for either:
- An NDC number (best), or
- A brand name and strength (then you can match it to the label/packager)
If you share the tablet’s strength (mg) and whether it’s XR (extended-release) or IR (immediate-release), I can narrow the manufacturer more reliably.
Is “E56” used for multiple quetiapine strengths or versions?
Yes. Quetiapine tablets are made in multiple strengths, and different generics (from different manufacturers) can have different imprints. So the same imprint pattern can sometimes appear across product variations, making strength/version critical for accurate identification.
If you want, I can identify it precisely
Reply with:
1) The strength on the tablet (e.g., 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, etc.)
2) Whether it’s IR or XR (or “ER” on the label)
3) Any other imprint marks besides “E56” (if present)
4) The NDC number from the bottle (if you can find it)
Then I can tell you the likely manufacturer/package associated with that exact quetiapine product.
