My Medic Alert tag: Myasthenia Gravis - Use Drug Precautions. Along with my drug allergies.

My laser engraved tag cost $10 and 1 year of 1-800 emergency access to my medical file for 1 year cost $50. It also came with a card for my wallet containing my personal info.

Some sites offer tags and bracelets without the service charge.

Hope this helps

Hubby Jerry has a medical bracelet that says, Myasthenia Gravis- see medic tag USB! He has a medal seal pill case with pills, medic tag on a key chain and it is always with him! All ambulances have computers and was told this is quick and his doctor put info needed and has list of meds he cannot take! Also my info! Carried it for 3 years and luckily never had to use it! If unconscious you can't get enough info on a bracelet! Our opinion ! Barb Dubois
