"Despite tremendous efforts to improve safe prescribing, scant attention has been paid to securing medications after they come home with the patient. RxGuardian has long been on the forefront of offering an array of tremendous solutions to help keep those medications from being diverted from the home. They are constantly innovating and developing ever more effective solutions to this important, yet often overlooked, problem."
