During Medication Label Safety Awareness Month, remind your family,
friends, coworkers and clients about safe medication practices and
accessible label options.


*Here are some conversation starters:*

   1. Talk to your pharmacy about what accessible prescription label

   options they provide. Do they offer large print, Braille, audible or dual
   language?
   2. Create a list of all the prescriptions, over the counter medications
   and vitamins that you are taking and make sure all your doctors,
   pharmacists and patient portals are up to date.  If you use the ScripTalk
   Mobile app you can start with what is listed in the MyMeds section which
   records your Full Scan history (quick scans are not recorded).
   3. If you are not really sure what a medication is for, ask your doctor
   or pharmacist to explain.  Knowledge is power!
   4. Go through your medications and get rid of anything that is expired
   or you no longer take. Saturday, October 24th is the next National Drug
   Take Back Day

   5. Lock up opioids or addictive medications to prevent theft or misuse.
