A prescription management system receives prescription information and manages containers filled with the prescription. The prescription is stored in the container and the container is attached to a tracking device storing prescription information. The tracking device is managed by the prescription management system. The tracking device is self-powered and activates an indicator when it receives a request from the prescription management system identifying the tracking device. The indicator permits a user, such as a pharmacist, to locate a desired prescription. Un système de gestion de prescriptions reçoit des informations de prescription et gère des contenants remplis de la prescription. La prescription est stockée dans le contenant et le contenant est attaché à un dispositif de suivi mémorisant les informations de prescription. Le dispositif de suivi est géré par le système de gestion de prescriptions. Le dispositif de suivi est autoalimenté et active un indicateur lorsqu'il reçoit une demande du système de gestion de prescriptions identifiant le dispositif de suivi. L'indicateur permet à un utilisateur, tel qu'un pharmacien, de localiser une prescription souhaitée.
