What was found in tested Pharaoh pills?
Pharaoh pill reports can differ in colour, contents and strength. Recorded samples are most often yellow (31%), pink (19%) and orange (11%). Of the 103 samples, 78 had a measured MDMA content: from 69 mg to 330 mg, with half coming in above 159 mg and one in ten above 208 mg.
Here you can compare independent laboratory results for 103 photographed samples tested between 2022-02-10 and 2026-09-17 and listed in source records under names such as: Pharaoh, pharao, pharaoh, faraón, pharaon. The photos and reports can help you find visually similar results, but they do not prove that an untested pill comes from the same batch.
Appearance cannot identify a tablet, which is why every sample here was tested rather than judged by eye.


The profile in the striped nemes headdress is almost always read as Tutankhamun, whose funerary mask entered global visual culture after Howard Carter opened the tomb in 1922 and the touring exhibitions that followed put it in front of millions. It is a strong silhouette with a clean outline, which is what survives being cut into a die.
This is also a logo that refuses to settle on a colour: pink leads, then yellow, orange and blue, with no single version dominating. Almost every classified sample contained MDMA, and one carried 5-MeO-MiPT, a tryptamine that is not MDMA at all. DrugsPRO currently holds 103 photographed samples under this logo.
Across the 78 with a measured MDMA content, results run from 69 mg to 330 mg, with half coming in above 159 mg, and the top of that range sits far above any common dose. The logo names no producer and guarantees nothing. Check the pill in your hand with your own reagent test, used according to the kit instructions.
The Pharaoh stamp is used on the illegal market for tablets of different composition. The name, the press and the colour are not reliable marks of a particular batch. Even tablets bought in the same place and looking the same can come from different production runs.
Laboratory results show wide differences in dose, purity and adulterants. A tablet sold as ecstasy can carry an unexpectedly high MDMA dose, other stimulants, or substances that were never declared. That is what raises the risk of overheating, circulatory problems, serotonin syndrome and overdose, and it is exactly what a test answers before anyone takes anything.
A reagent test tells you which group of substances a sample belongs to. How much of it is in the tablet is what a purity or quantity test answers, and a full laboratory analysis names every component. Test a small portion, use more than one reagent, and compare the result with recent laboratory alerts.
