ABSTRACT:

A pill holder is positioned beneath the cap, which includes a magnifying lens, through which the interior of the pill holder can be viewed.

The pill and the pill picture can then be compared to determine if the correct medicine has been provided. The label is prepared by providing a processor having a keyboard, a database including data relating to images of a plurality of prescription medicine pills, a label printer, and an unprinted label; entering the name of the prescription medicine into the processor; selecting an image of a pill in the database corresponding to the name; and printing the name and the selected image onto the label.
