Braille is written on the cover of the medicine, but only 15% or less of them can read the braille. Moreover, there are problems with braille notation for the following reasons; There is a risk of breakage of braille during transportation; It is difficult to label drugs with long product names; There are cases in which the learned braille and the marked braille are different.
