"The Locking Pill Bottle is an effective safeguard, and it encourages education and discussion amongst our patients and the community on the dangers of certain medications. The hope is that this, and other measures, help prevent dangerous and highly-addictive prescription pills from falling into the wrong hands and being misused or abused," explains Vail Health's President and CEO Will Cook.

Locking Pill Bottles are a successful tool to fight the diversion of medications from the family medicine cabinet by teens, guests and contracted service providers in the home.  Additionally, Locking Pill Bottles are used to safeguard against pediatric poisoning. 

"Vail Health's leadership in LPB dispensing will help protect families and communities from the serious consequences of diversion from family medicine cabinets," said Milton Cohen, President & CEO at Safe Rx.
