I am looking for an online photograph of a nicorette mini lozenge, 4 mg size. It is a white oval pill. I cannot find one through google. Can someone help me?

The closest thing I found was this. It is a picture of the box with one of the pills lying in front of it.

Yeah, I found that picture too. I was looking more for one that showed the lozenge in a way the displayed any scoring or markings as well.

Tried that. It does not produce an image of nicorette mini lozenges.

Nicorette mini [lozenges](http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?id=24251)are white-to-off-white, unscored oval tablets. The 2mg tablet is imprinted with the letter M and the 4mg with the letter F.

ETA: No better image than the one you already have, but I presume all the marketing images are the same without indicating the “M” or “F”.
