This reminds me of when I got an RX for Quvivq. It came in a box… Which had three boxes inside of that… Each inner box had a slide-out blister pack with 10 pills in it πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

Blister packs are purposely annoying to open to prevent abuse

And yet when I put an entire box of blister pack antihistamines in my bag, I pull it out later on to find 75% of blisters broken.

And yet suicides measurably decreased when the switch to blister packs was made.

Bottles are bad. There’s a reason that the industry is, often due to public welfare regulations, moving away from them.

because people really do end up chugging the pills, among other reasons.

i am totally for reducing waste, but we have bigger fish to fry first

i think that might be a suicide prevention measure, i remember something about blister packaging helping reduce suicide rates.

You will also often see such packaging used with in hospitals, group homes, and nursing homes. It helps to limit med errors for nurses and cnas and can allow some mentally handicapped people or elderly to have some control over their lives.

It’s not a common packaging you are going to get from a pharmacy unless specified for you by a doctor.

Adults are the ones usually killing themselves by overdosing. Suicide is final, and survivors of botched attempts praise that they failed to kill themselves. It’s why men have a higher suicide rate, because their method is usually final. Having a packaging that hinders the process of suicide via overdosing is helpful to all involved.

Medicinal clamshell package. I ain’t even upset about all the excess packaging. I’m pissed at the fact you need a circular saw to open your medicine just to take the daily dose.
