In reply to What to do with labels on medication bottles?, posted by Bob on December 25, 2003, at 1:27:22
i used to have that problem where i couldn't get the labels off but that was years ago...i thought labels had changed. at the pharmacys i go to you can peel them right off and stick them back on again, maybe try another store, or ask the pharmacist. what i used to do was just scratch/peel off my name when i had that problem-usually it is at the bottom or top on the side so it wasn't that much of a pain.
dragonfly> I have a small problem with how to get rid of the info printed on the label of a plastic medecine container after it's empty. For my sensitive personal mail, I just put it in a paper shredder. For these labels, I can't peel them off of the bottles to save my life. I also tried blacking it out with a permanent magic marker, but when it dries you can still read all the info. The labels have my full name, phone number, doctor's name, the med name, my address. Heck, it seems like the only thing missing is my SS number. I just feel uncomfortable throwing it in the trash. Anyone have any ideas?
