As an old fart here in the BToS, I get my cardio meds on one of those mail-order 90-day prescription deals. The doctor's office sends the prescription to the supplier, the supplier charges insurance folks and notifies me via email when it's shipped. I have little to do with the whole prescription process until I attempt to open the childproof cap!
Whoever passed the law requiring childproof caps must have been a young person. No old fart like myself would ever vote for a law requiring old people to work their ass off just to get a pill out of a bottle. I actually have to visit my neighbor occasionally to remove prescription bottle caps for her.
A little work with some shears and pliers can remove the safety portion of the cap and convert it to a regular cap, which I do regularly with my own products. But, you would think I could just visit the website of the prescription company I deal with and check a box for 'regular' caps vice 'childproof' caps. Heck it would even work if they included a regular cap in the mailer too and I could replace the childproof cap.
JD, here in the BToS waiting for prescription vendors to include regular caps with my mail-order prescription.
PS - Damn childproof caps on my mouthwash too! Where are my shears?????
