Accessible Prescription Labels: Talking, Large Print and Braille Labels and Prescription Readers

Accessible Prescription Labels: Talking, Large Print and Braille Labels and Prescription Readers

Having trouble reading your prescription bottles? Ask your pharmacist for accessible prescription labels!

Many pharmacies across the US and Canada have adopted the “ScriptAbility” accessible prescription labeling system to meet the needs of patients who are blind, visually impaired, or print impaired. The system includes ScripTalk talking labels and prescription reader units, ScriptView large print labels, and Braille labels. These labels give patients access to all of the printed label information, including patient name, drug name, dosage, instructions, prescription number, date, pharmacy information, warnings, and patient education leaflets.
