Re: Reading Pharmacy Label?
I too am not satisfied with talking pill reminders. It doesn’t give all the information that Script talk would. Walgreens gave me the device and left the recording up to me.

Re: Reading Pharmacy Label?
Hi Richard, The device seems to work just fine, the problem seems to be with the Walgreen staff. Even after numerous phone calls, only some of our prescriptions come with the talking pill reminders. I appreciate that the service is free, but in our experience it has been very inconsistent. As far as choosing a pharmacy with the scripTtalk, it sounds like we are in the same boat as you.

What have you found not satisfactory about them? I just got my first batch of prescriptions, and they work fine for me? The pharmacist recorded the medication name, strength and dosage instructions.
