The Safer Lock can help pharmacies in California comply with Assembly Bill No. 2859, which requires any pharmacy that dispenses Schedule II, III, or IV controlled substances to display safe storage products close to the pharmacy where medications are dispensed. The Safer Lock patented four-digit combination locking cap secures medications in individual bottles or larger lock boxes. Safe storage practices help protect teens and children from access to opioids or other powerful medications.
California Governor Jerry Brown recently signed Assembly Bill No. 2859, which requires any pharmacy that dispenses Schedule II, III, or IV controlled substances to display safe storage products close to the pharmacy where medications are dispensed. This legislation is intended to help parents safeguard powerful medications that are vital to managing certain chronic pain conditions among adults. Increasing safe storage practices among parents is an important component of protecting teens and children from the dangers of opioid abuse.
