Locking Prescription Vial (LPV® ) Dispensing
Pharmacy customers use our locking prescription vials (LPVs) for dispensing controlled substances and other diverted or high-risk medications. LPVs have been proven effective in eliminating diversion in clinical studies of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) dispensing, and in 2023 the National Association of City and County Health Officials (NACCHO) designated LPV dispensing a best practice for MAT dispensing. Additional trials are underway to test LPV dispensing more broadly in controlled substance dispensing, and many of our customers already dispense a broad array of medications into LPVs. Our LPVs are available on a direct basis and through Cardinal & McKesson and are easily incorporated into your practice and workflow.
“100% of providers surveyed were in support of using a locking prescription vial for controlled substances as a means of safe storage.”
