I'm a medical doctor and this is such a big problem.

I applaud your efforts and encourage you to keep on working, I hope that you get employed by a pharmaceutical company in the near future :D Or else.....disrupt the pharmaceutical industry ;) Good luck :)! If you need any further insight, would be more than happy to help you out :)!

If you're on more than one medication I'm sure there's a better system for tracking your pills that works for you that you can result come up with.

Also. Out of principle medication shouldn't be dumbed down to colors. You ought to know what you're taking.

Is this US-specific again? I'm from Europe and I only had a handful of those seemingly self-packaged thingies in my life, everything usually comes in a distinct paper packaging and even the blisters often look different (but not always).

Appreciate the intent, but that contrast is really not good. I wonder what the liability issues would be for assigning random colors to prescriptions. What if two different prescriptions end up having similar colors and go to the same patient?
