As a Health Care professional I just wanted to say that I think your product is a superb idea and a must for anyone with prescription medication. With the growing rate of narcotic prescriptions being giving out and the growing rate of prescription RX drug abuse this type of product is so important for every household.

At the hospital they lock up the medication to prevent theft and abuse and there is no reason medication should not be locked at home. Just as with any safe I am sure it can be crack although if you own a RX locker and looks tamper with or goes missing you will know that there is a problem in your household that needs to be addressed immediately. There are so many benefits to the RX Locker such as prevention of theft and accidental overdose, additionally it is wonderful for privacy issues and concerns. All and all the RX locker is a winner.

Great work and thank you!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) – Aug 18, 2010 – POMPANO BEACH, Fla. – August 18th, 2010 – Dr. Drew Pinsky, the most listened-to doctor in America with a syndicated radio show Loveline (since 1992), is also the executive producer and host of several television series including Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, Sober House, and Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew. But Dr. Drew’s latest crusade is to educate parents and caregivers about the frightening growth in the trend of teen prescription drug abusers.

Catch Dr. Drew as he speaks to co-host Beth Troutman on The Balancing Act, airing August 30th, on Lifetime Television from 7:00 until 8:00 a.m. (ET/PT), to talk about his concerns for the youth of America.

Prescription drug abuse among teenagers in the United States is now a truly serious concern. According to a National Survey on Drug Use, one in five teenagers have abused prescription medications— pain relievers, stimulants, sedatives and tranquilizers. About 70% of teens that abused say they got the prescription drugs from family and friends.

“That data is completely accurate and alarming,” notes Dr. Drew. “The bit of data that I find most alarming and disturbing is that 2,500 teens will begin abusing prescription drugs today, and each and every day. We are improving on the illicit drug field but we are losing ground on the prescription drug front.”

Most alarming is where teens and even children are getting drugs: From the family medicine cabinet. Dr. Drew believes the solution to the ready accessibility of prescription drugs is a product like the RX Locker, which is a securely combination-locked box. He notes, “It’s sending a message to your children that these things should be behind lock and key. And if somebody is tampering with your RX Locker, you know you have a serious problem in your household.”

There is a resource page on the website RXLocker.com where parents can look for help in their area. Dr. Drew also suggests starting with your own doctor in your own community. “Ask for help. Every community has help. Go out, reach out, and get it.”

For the rest of this fascinating and educational segment, be sure to watch Dr. Drew on Monday, August 30th, or watch the show on the website at www.thebalancingact.com the same day it airs.
