This would make St. Matthews Community Pharmacy the only drugstore in Louisville to offer labels that are accessible to those of us who cannot read standard print (due to blindness, learning disability, dyslexia, etc.).

One is via a barcode that you scan with a free iPhone/iPad app...the other is with an RFID chip embedded in the bottle that you'd swipe over a little box (about the size of an answering machine). Both of these solutions are at no cost to us as consumers; it's just a matter of preference.

By the way, they deliver medications (and anything else you need from their store) for just a few dollars. (He did say, too, that he'd be willing to expand that delivery area if needed on a case-by-case basis.) Also, they do in-store compounding, so if any of your (or your child's) medications need that, it's done in-house. Plus, they're just wonderful people.
