I have Simvastatin 20mg PINK oval pills stamped with AZ21.
All "Pill Identifiers" online show BROWN or LIGHT BROWN as the color for 20mg strength.
Please help since I may have a 10mg or 40mg pill that is mislabeled ???? ! Thx

Where did you get them?

It's important to note that the color doesn't actually mean anything, it is entirely up to the whit and whim of the manufacturer and they can change it at any time, if they wish.

However, yes the listings cite this one as being a brown tablet and the images actually show it as being a very pale tan or beige color.

Color is also a matter of perception, so what you're seeing as pink could be the same color I'm seeing in the identifier database images.

Have you actually look at the images?

There is a 40mg that is pink that has the marking ZA 22 on it.
