GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., June 1, 2022 – Safe Rx, a company on a mission to fight America’s opioid epidemic and drug abuse with its award-winning locking prescription vial (LPV®), will attend seven conferences through September to educate attendees on the most cost-effective ways to stop prescription drug abuse and misuse. The company will also participate in a presentation at Ohio’s 2022 Opiate & Other Drugs Conference on increasing compliance using locking prescription vials.
Conference attendees will include addiction, behavioral health and mental health specialists, student health and wellness professionals, health care providers, pharmacists and government health officials, among others.
