Pill Icons
A two-tone capsule shape is the standard visual for "medication" across health interfaces — prescription tracking, medication reminders, pharmacy apps, dosage schedules. This page collects pill icon variants across Pathwork's libraries, from a plain outline capsule to filled or tablet/round versions, so you can match the exact weight your reminder screen or pharmacy section needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Both represent 'medication' generally, and the choice is mostly stylistic rather than meaningful — capsule shapes are a more common default across icon libraries, while round tablet icons appear in some sets as an alternative or complementary shape. Neither implies a specific medication type; pick whichever matches your icon set's visual style.
Yes, the pill icon works for both, since it's a generic symbol for medication or supplements rather than something tied to a specific drug type. Some apps differentiate prescription medications from supplements with color-coding or labels rather than a visually different icon.
They're suitable for general UI elements — navigation icons, reminder notifications, section headers — but for anything requiring precise visual identification of a specific medication (like distinguishing pill shape/color for patient safety), these generic icons aren't a substitute for actual medication images or verified drug databases.
Yes, this is a common pattern for medication reminder apps — a small badge (often showing a time or a dot) positioned near the pill icon to indicate an upcoming or missed dose, similar to how notification bells display unread counts.
Each icon keeps the license from its source library attached to it, and terms can differ depending on which library a specific icon comes from. Check the license shown on the individual icon's page before using it commercially, especially in a healthcare product where accurate and appropriate imagery matters.
Pill is specifically associated with oral medication, while syringe more accurately represents injections or vaccinations. If your feature specifically involves injectable medication, a syringe icon communicates that more precisely than a pill icon, which could imply the wrong administration method.
