OPEN partners with Safe Rx to provide locking pill bottles for an easy and safe medication storage option. Organizations can apply for free locking prescription bottles, in either a small or large size. OPEN will purchase the products and ship them directly to the awardees.
Each vial comes pre-programmed with a unique 4-digit code that is used to lock and unlock the vial. Small vials are great for direct dispensing by pharmacists, measuring 1.5” in diameter and 4.5” tall. This allows the label to be placed on the outside of the small locking prescription vial, making identification of medications easy for patients. Large vials are ideal for distribution to patients with existing medications. A large vial can typically fit an entire prescription bottle inside and measures 2” in diameter and 5.4” tall. The large vial also provides added privacy, since the label can remain on the inner bottle. Check out this video for more information on how to use locking prescription vials.
