46 people die every day from prescription opioid overdose. No one is immune to the growing danger of unsecured medications and locking up at-risk medications is one step towards curbing this epidemic.

DALLAS, LOS ANGELES, NEW YORK (PRWEB) June 06, 2018

Block and Company, a world-class supplier of security, cash handling and metal products now offers the Med-Master® line of products to help families secure, organize and protect prescription drugs and medicinal cannabis from abuse, misuse and theft.

As the opioid epidemic continues to impact society, the need for safe medication storage touches everyone. No one is immune to the growing danger of unsecured medications.

“It is reported that 75 percent of opioid misuse starts with people using medication not prescribed for them, usually from a friend or relative,” said Stacy Dubinski, Director of Marketing and Merchandising at Block and Company. “Never has the need for lockable medication storage been more apparent.”

With the abuse of prescription medication on the rise, Med-Master® is specifically designed to prevent or limit unauthorized entry into the secure case with a programmable combination lock. Med-Master® has many unique features that add to its research-based approach to medication management. The heavy-gauge steel construction, hidden hinges and integrated shelf make organizing and dispensing medications convenient and safe.

A transport handle, mounting holes and wall anchors make installation and placement of the Med-Master® case quick and easy. This gives the user the flexibility to keep and use Med-Master® where it works best for them in a bathroom, kitchen cabinet, closet or any other location. Med-Master® locking transport bags provide a moveable storage solution for when medications need to be taken on-the-go.

“Our Med-Master® line draws on our decades of experience in keeping cash and other valuables secure,” adds Philip Robins, Vice President and General Manager for Block and Company. “We are taking our experience as experts in securing and storing valuables and applying it in a new and responsible way.”
