Prescription Drug Container Labels
2:25
Prescription drug container labels are the consumer-facing information affixed to the drug containers (e.g., pill bottles, vials, inhalers, blister packs) lined up in medicine cabinets and countertops across the United States. These labels are particularly meaningful for older adults, who take a significant portion of the 4 billion prescriptions Americans fill every year. Although container labels are only one piece of communication a consumer receives when filling a prescription, they are typically the most visible and convey instructions and important information about the prescribed drug and its intended use.
