If you get a bracelet or tag from MedicAlert itself (www.medicalert.com) it doesn't indicate what medication you are taking. Instead it tells health professionals to contact MedicAlert to get your drug information (as well as emergency contact info). This costs more than just a bracelet ($35/first year, $20 each year after that) but it might more noticeable than something else. (Plus it's supposed to have international recognition which might be an issue if you're traveling in a non-English speaking country.)
