Hi E,
>Blister packs, huh?
Yes, almost all drugs come in blister packs here, including most psych drugs.
>Easier to count, perhaps fresher?
I like it because you can identify the med even when it's not in its original container, you just read the name off the back of the strip. It's definately easier to count and the medication is protected from the environment - it takes a long time to expire.
In most parts of Europe, all medications come in blister packs.
