I came across an Adderall imprinted B974 but the 30 imprint on the back was upside down since then I have been researching hard! three people that I know that opened their bag and bottle in front of me after receiving at the pharmacy they’re imprint of 30 were upside down as well and it was three different pharmacy pharmacies on the south shore. Also know people whose are right side up. Can anyone explain this
 
if you're frequently buying in quantity, think it is more likely that sleight of hand by your dealer is leading you to believe they're real. fake adderall are insanely cheap/readily available containing a low dose of meth. FDA QC is pretty elaborate and includes taking a sample at the start of each "batch"/run within a certain limited amount of time. It would have been noticed, any others produced destroyed. That said, orientation of the "30" could be considered a permissible deviation. I've never regularly taken it, but im sure some members here have scripts and can confirm if they've ever been upside down


Reagent tests are always good to keep on hand, period. They can differentiate between meth and amphetamine. Again fake addys are a huge business/market and if you've got a miracle source who can get them whenever, or in bulk etc., i'd assume them to be fake.
 
Actually, I just picked up a script my script at CVS and they are upside down
 
I happened to have done a deep dive into counterfeit adderall

Ill try to keep this as brief as possible

The orange adderall tablets with the stamp 30 and b974 are made by the pharmaceutical company Teva Pharmaceuticals USA

There has been a wide array of seizures across the US of counterfeit b974 tablets which contained active ingredients usually methamphetamine and caffeine and inactive ingredients being mostly binders

Pill stamps are not only used as identifiers for the tablet and manufacturing company but within the press themselves exists an explicit and depending on the medication the FDA has regulations regarding tablet stamps to be a form of coding within the letters, numbers, and even lines

What this means is that the tablets produced by these pharmaceutical companies have distinct and exclusive markers within the typography that is pressed onto their tablets

These defining features are effectively not replicatable to someone making counterfeit pills unless they had direct control over the typography used in the manufacturing of the pill press
Pharmaceutical companies use and have explicitly unique and custom font characteristics that they use for their tablets

third party pill press manufacturers do not sell pill presses with 1:1 typography options and so far to my comparisons across a variety of pressed pills i have i have been able to identify atleast one note worthy distinction between counterfeit tablets and their pharmaceutical versions

I happen to have been looking at these b974 pills specifically The other day and among a few more subtle identifiable features the most blatant hallmark that separates the real b974 adderall tablets made by Teva and the counterfeit pill can be found in the number '4'

Teva b974 30mg adderall tablets have a hexagonal lower case 'b' with the numbers '974'

authentic Teva brand tablets have the number 4 in a specific monoscaped font style *the number is mostly uniformed and squared rather than being connected at the top like this (4)

More notably and ubiquitous among teva brand Adderall the number 4 meets flush on the x-axis and y-axis point where the verticle right line and the horizontal line meet

Although it may be that some counterfeit tablets exist which mimic this characteristic i have yet to find a counterfeit b974 tablet which replicates this

Alternatively and so far to my searching among tablets that I have as comparing online, and using a small sample size of known counterfeit tablets from around different regions of the around the US

unanimously the number 4 in the counterfeit tablets are not monoscaped and contain a notable slant in the left horizontal line

More notable the horizontal line and verticle lines in the number 4 do not end flush and form a cross at this junction point of the number

I have attached a series of photographs which illustrate this

The photos attached go on order of fake tablet-real tablet-fake tablet-real tablet-and the final photo is directly from Teva Pharmaceutical USA website



I have a background in art with a degree in illustrative design and have many years working with fonts and typography and i understand this might seem insignificant but out of the sample size of known counterfeit tablets from different places and completely un related sources and different batches this varience in the number 4 is universal

As stated above not only are the the presses used by pharmaceutical companies there to ID the tablet and manufacturer the stamps are explicitly AND required to contain embedded coding including but not limited to: unique font styles, spacing, alignment, depth, or any combination of all of these things or more

You might notice a variety of distinct characteristic differences between the tablets as there are more than one note worthy variences within the font itself but the number 4 is the most prominent and distinct
