NORTH ATTLEBORO, Mass., Oct. 24, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Health Enterprises, Inc., a leading manufacturer of niche health care products, is introducing an innovative new product that helps prevent prescription confusion -- The Rx Identifying Straps.
The Rx Identifying Straps provide a color-coded system to easily identify your pill bottles from other family members at a glance. The straps can also be used to clearly distinguish between medications taken at different times of the day. The Rx Identifying Straps are available in four colors (blue, green, red and yellow), and are sold four straps per package (two colors each).
"Research shows that prescription confusion is a significant problem. Over 60 percent of patients cannot identify their own medication and up to 20 percent take other people's medication by mistake," said Brendan Leonard, senior director of sales and marketing at Health Enterprises. "The Rx Identifying Straps help provide an easy and affordable solution to the ongoing problem of prescription confusion."
"The Rx Identifying Straps fit perfectly with our company's philosophy of developing new and innovative products that help improve the everyday lives of people throughout the world," commented Glenn Leman, president of Health Enterprises, Inc.
