I save some caps from my supplement bottles, often these will fit on to a RX bottle

For prescriptions, when I worked at Walgreens, if someone noted no-childproofed, we just flipped the cap over and the same child proofed cap becomes a stopper that you can just push off. 

If you have those, just turn your cap upside down and it becomes non childproofed.

CVS, at least not here, doesn't do the flip top caps.

@CelticCrafter It's not a flip top cap. If your prescription cap is smaller at the top, turn it over and that smaller part will fit in your bottle like a stopper.

@Laura14  Those Reversible tops were Great!  My Veterinarian had those.

My CVS  DId NOT.  I never even thought they wouldn't.  I had to ask a Neighbor to open the bottle of meds prescribed for me when I broke my wrist!

This is what I am talking about. If you have a graduated cap, turn it upside down and the smaller top part fits inside your bottle so you can just push it off instead of the child proof hold and turn.

@candys mine You and me both! Except when I broke my wrist, I forgot to tell them and it was a complete comedy trying to open that bottle the first time one handed. 🤣

Our pharmacy uses the flip top bottles, I love whoever the inventer of those is!

I know about turning the caps over so there's no need to push down on them to open but I still need to unscrew the cap once it's turned over. I can't just push it off. It's just not possible b/c the cap and bottle have screw threads.

You CAN teach an old🐕 new tricks.  I just literally walked over to my "stash" 💊💊 and flipped my lid.  It does work.  Thank you!
