Almost all of my medications (and my husband's) filled in Czech Republic pharmacies are in bubble packs. I'll admit that I am
not thrilled about the fact. I suppose if I only took two or three medications, it might be OK. However, I take NINE different ones (not all psych meds). My husband takes six or seven. I must use weekly pill boxes, as does my husband. Since I am the one filling the blasted things, it gets tiring pushing all of the monsters out of the bubble packs. In some cases, I retained the old pill bottles from US filled versions, and just sit there pushing out 30 to over 60 pills of EACH in one shot so I don't have to be pushing them all out every week, let alone every day. And each med doesn't necessarily mean one each of each of the pills. I take more than one pill for certain meds, every day. So does my husband. And a couple even need to be cut with a pill cutter.
I don't know. I see it as a real pain. With pill bottles, it's easier. But I shouldn't complain. Pharmaceuticals here in Czech Republic are much much cheaper than in the US.
