Wisconsin pharmacies will pilot making prescription bottles easier to read

In Wisconsin, 46 pharmacy locations are participating in a campaign to boost prescription adherence by making medicine bottles easier to read and understand. Based on recommendations from the nonprofit U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention, the 2-year pilot program will include more white space and enlarged print on labels; use numerals instead of spelling numbers out; avoid type in all capital letters, which is more difficult to read; and be more specific about what the medication treats and when to take it.
