advocacy organization today announced the launch of SOS Rx, a national
healthcare coalition promoting the safe use of medications. The
coalition, run by the National Consumers League, includes
participation by more than 60 consumer and patient safety
organizations, physician, pharmacist, caregiver, and employer groups,
and government. The coalition’s purpose is to make the outpatient

coalition launched its online home, www.sosrx.org,
which will provide information for consumers about upcoming
educational campaigns on topics ranging from the safe use of
anticoagulants to the advantages of e-prescribing and the benefits of
maintaining a personal medication record.
