Lot #145:

Elvis Presley's Prescription Container for Vistaril (Hydroxyzine) - From the Collection of His Las Vegas Physician Dr. Elias Ghanem

Elvis’ addiction was the perfect prescription for an early death. He abused antihistamines, tranquilizers such as Valium, barbiturates, Quaaludes, sleeping pills, antidepressants, hormones — and even laxatives, for the constipation caused by consuming so many drugs. Offered is a prescription pill bottle that belonged to Elvis Presley. The bottle contained Hydroxyzine, or Vistaril, a sedative to treat anxiety and tension.

The label reads "Elvis Presley 12-6-76gw / Take one (1) capsule as directed/ Vistaril 100 mg : 100 / Exp: Jan 1980

The accompanying copy of a letter signed by Jody Ghanem from the original sale of a number of prescription bottles reads "This collection of Elvis Presley's pill bottles were left at the home of Dr. Elias Ghanem during the Elvis Presley's visits to the Ghanem's home in the mid to late 1970's.".

Fine condition. An intriguing piece of Elvis personal memorabilia with association with the location of his passing!
