Which law allows a pharmacist to dispense medication in an easy-open container upon patient request?

The Poison Prevention Act of 1970 focuses on protecting children from accidental poisoning by requiring that most household substances, including prescription medications, be dispensed in child-resistant packaging. However, the law also recognizes the need for flexibility based on individual patient needs. It allows pharmacists to provide medications in easy-open containers if the patient specifically requests it. This is important for patients who may have difficulty opening child-resistant containers due to age, physical disability, or other reasons. By enabling this provision, the law facilitates better medication adherence and safety for patients who may face challenges with traditional packaging, thus balancing safety measures with patient accessibility.
