Script Your Future is here to help people like you manage health problems such as diabetes, COPD, asthma, high blood pressure or high cholesterol.

Understanding your condition and taking your medicine correctly are important steps toward a longer, healthier life. This campaign can help you with tools to manage your medicines and sample questions to help start a conversation with your doctor, pharmacist or nurse about your medicine.

The National Consumers League (NCL) leads the campaign, with partners from every sector of the health care system, including health care professionals, patient communities, family caregivers, pharmacies, health insurance plans, pharmaceutical companies and associations, as well as government agencies and researchers.

UC School of Pharmacy has won the Public Relations Award 6 times during the 10 year campaign.

The campaign is from January 20th – March 20th.
