The foil side of the blister bears an ink logo of Lilly, which shows the lettering "Lilly". When a blister edge is moved, the color of the oval changes from green, to blue, to pink.
If the logo is missing or the color of the logo does not change when turned over, this could indicate a drug counterfeit.
