Spokeswoman Christina Gayman says prescription labels will look the same as they do now except they'll also have a special tag.
"So you will either download the free ScripTalk mobile app on your phone that will read that tag for you. And within that tag is all the information that you might need. Or if you don't have a phone, we can provide to them a free ScripTalk reader.
Information will include the drug name, correct dosage, and any possible warnings, plus the name of the doctor and pharmacy and contact information.
The new service is made possible by a product called ScripTalk from En-Vision America.
"As we hear more from our patients about accessibility, you know people are feeling a little more empowered to say what they need, what's helpful for them, and what makes their lives easier."
She says this will be helpful for people whose main language is not English, such as Hindi, Somali, Chinese, and 23 others, but also for those who have vision or reading problems.
(languages available: Amharic, Arabic, Bengali, Burmese, Chinese (simplified), Chinese (traditional), English, Farsi, French, German, Greek, Haitian Creole, Hindi, Italian, Korean, Nepali, Pashtu, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, Tagalog, and Vietnamese)
