The Locking Cap

A comatose girl no older than twelve years-old lies holding an uncapped pharmacy bottle with prescription pills spilled on the ground during a reenactment at the Third Street Promenade on Saturday, August 18, 2012. The Locking Cap, a combination-locking cap for RX bottles, presented this reenactment to generate buzz and awareness concerning adolescent RX drug abuse. While this demonstration may seem shocking, it serves a higher purpose-- saving children’s lives. Sadly, this scene is based on true events and depicts a national epidemic that is affecting our kids and teens: prescription drug abuse. Every day, over 2,500 kids abuse prescription medication for the first time.

This one-of-a-kind, easy-to-use cap is designed to prevent unauthorized access to prescription medication, particularly amongst children and teens.

Children as young as two years old commonly remove standard child-resistant caps. The Locking Cap is one of the safest child-proof prescription drug locking mechanisms available on the market today. There are over 100,000 prescription medication drug related deaths per year. Use The Locking Cap to secure all of your prescription medications and keep your family safe.

Teens abuse prescription medications more than almost all other drugs combined. One out of five teens claim that they have tried a prescription drug without having a prescription for it themselves. Many teens wrongly believe that prescription drugs are a safe way to “get high” because prescription drugs are so readily available. Because of this, teens who wouldn't otherwise use illicit drugs may abuse prescription drugs.
