MEDNET Launches MedSafe to Prevent Teenage Prescription Drug Abuse

Online medical supply leader now offers healthcare's most secure medical safe
to consumers

RIDGE, N.Y., Oct. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- What's the cost of saving a teenage life?
When it comes to preventing accidental death resulting from prescription
medication abuse, there's no price tag. Parents with good intentions, however,
may be unaware that the lock-boxes they've installed are not protecting their
teens from the ticking timebomb of prescription drugs. That's why MEDNET(TM),
a national leader in premium-quality medical supplies, has formed an exclusive
partnership with Axius Healthcare Group to distribute MedSafe(TM), the most
secure medical safe on the market today.

"MedSafe is a real safe, setting it apart from medicine cabinets and other
inferior lock-box products," says Lorraine Yarde, principal of the Axius
MedSafe division of Axius Healthcare Group, which manufactures products that
prevent loss in the healthcare industry and address patient safety concerns.
"We've been developing this safe for five years in response to specific
consumer demand. MedSafe is much more than a deterrent - it's peace of mind
for parents, grandparents and caretakers, and provides real protection against
prescription drug abuse."

Made of high-grade steel, MedSafe (http://www.MedSafeStore.com) features a
biometric fingerprint reader, so its contents are accessible only to the
parent or person who programs the safe. MedSafe technology is proven: it has
been used in the healthcare industry for years, securing medications in
doctors' offices nationwide. Moreover, it is the number-one choice for gun
enthusiasts and law enforcement officers to store handguns in the home,
winning endorsements from the National Rifle Association and The Handgun Club
of America. Other lock-box products available on the market today, made from
plastic and using confusing combination locks or mechanical keys, do not stand
up to the durable steel and high-tech security features of the original
MedSafe.

"MedSafe is secure enough to store a loaded weapon, and that's exactly what a
prescription drug is when it winds up in the hands of teens and is abused,"
says Rob Perissi, MEDNET's president. "The parallel is uncanny but pertinent,
considering that one in five teens has abused a prescription pain medication,
and one in 10 has abused cough medicine. Preventing access to such medications
is our goal through this partnership with Axius. MedSafe is the best solution
available with a proven record of over five years."

MEDNET is the exclusive distributor of MedSafe, available in two sizes.
MedSafe is ideal not only for homes but anywhere prescription and
over-the-counter medications are stored in proximity of children and teens,
including daycares, schools, camps and more.
