Bill,
It's done through Envision America, who have the ScripTalk device, and who
are also known for the ID mate products.
Some pharmacies participate, while others do not. Walgreens does not; CVS
does.  But there are more.
I don't have any medications, so don't do it myself, but have seen the
results at a friend's house.
It was very impressive.
Every container has a braille label. Then, if you put it on the ScripTalk
device, it reads aloud all the details of date and doc and dosage and such.
Finally, a braille copy of all that jazz nobody wants to read (for fear)
accompanies each prescription.
If I had medications, I would definitely do this. 
I think you call Envision America to get the ball rolling.
Oh, and it's all paid for by the pharmacy.
Best,
Deborah

Subject: Re: [VICUG-L] braille on groceries

A couple of you have mentioned that Braille is now on perscription
medicines. I was not aware of this, and have never seen Braille on any of my
meds. HOw does one make this happen?
