Abstract
An apparatus to facilitate identifying a container, for example, a pharmaceutical container, includes at least one member adapted to be secured, for example, removably secured, to a container and to provide indication information effective to distinguish the container when the member is secured thereto, for example, relative to an identical container without the member. The present apparatus is particularly useful in facilitating distinguishing one pharmaceutical container from one or more other pharmaceutical containers.
