To wish medicines were labelled in a larger font

I do sympathise Elegran. The label size is standard, so the font has to fit the label!! I would ask the pharmacy to perhaps add a red dot to the label or some such thing that you would find helpful.

Ive added my own sticky label with capital letters in black felt-tip. DIY labelling!

I would suggest wrapping a thick rubber band round the morphine bottle Elegran you would then know immediately.

Medicine labelling is serious, but Terms and Conditions on labels can also cause a problem - too small to read, but very important when something untoward happens and you're told 'It's in our Terms and Conditions' !

You are making a very valid point Elegran and it is vital to distinguish between these bottles. The rubber band is a good idea. I would add an additional plea for containers NOT to be automatically childproof - with arthritis in my hands I often struggle to open them

The rubber band would be obvious in low light too - good idea.

But you would think that powerful medicines to be dispensed by anxious elderly carers with less than perfect eyesight would be instantly distinguishable, and not have to be relabelled by us.

I often have to take painkillers during the night. I've learned Braille enough to be able to 'read' the Braille on medicines, so that I don't make a mistake in the dark. I also keep each medicine in its own special place in my medicine cabinet. Being able to read the Braille dots is just an extra precaution. It's not difficult. I would recommend it to anyone who has difficulty reading the small print on medicine packets/bottles.

I downloaded a book about Braille for the Kindle from Gutenburg (one of several oddities hat caught me eye). It has the symbols. Must look more closely at it.
