[Nfbc-info] Legislative Issue: Tiny Print on Prescription Bottles

[Bryan Bashin]

Hi folks,

A national effort to ensure that prescription medicines have labels 
of at least 12 point type is underway.  This is an extremely useful 
pharmacy practice for seniors and those with usable vision.  However, 
in spite of the recommendation of their own study, the California 
State Board of Pharmacy may very well vote in a few days not to 
require normal-ssize type on prescription medications.

Our legislative effort and our members may be able to help by urging 
the Board of Pharmacy to adopt the 12-point proposal if we act now 
via email and with personal representation during the hearing.

Details below.
