At our May meeting we discussed several diverse ways to bring more attention to this law. This law takes effect on July 1, 2025. The law does not just apply to the Blind and low vision population. The law provides for those who cannot easily access the prescription information, even if they have not self-identified as a person with a print-reading disability. The ScripTalk system supports 17 different languages to translate the printed information into a language easily read by the patient.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:windowtext">We recognize that some mail order pharmacies provide access to prescription labels, but often only through mail order. This does not help when we have an emergency or need new prescriptions right away. There are times when we need to care for others and need access to the prescription information when obtaining medication for our family members. Emergency medications are not available through mail order pharmacies.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:windowtext">At our last chapter meeting, we brought printed copies of the flyer that is attached to this email. Members took copies to pass out to businesses, doctors, and friends to bring awareness about the possibility of improved access to prescription label information. The more doctors and patients who ask for better access, the faster better access will become the norm. We already recognize that the State of Colorado and the Colorado Pharmacy Board are not actively promoting or educating anyone about the accessible prescription labels law.
