I just found out my meds can be in bubble packs free of charge. This I feel will make it so much easier for me. Especially around family. I also have them doing it for my husband's medication. That way it's much easier when I'm gone on vacation. Does anyone else do bubble packs? It just sounds so much easier.

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. |

Bubble packs are keurig cups for pills - so wasteful!

Many people have suggested bubble packs to me. I'm concerned that I would have a hard time getting the pills out. But a lot of people really like bubble packs.

A bubble pack means for me I’d lose a pill or two every month. I lose at least one or two of all my meds. We joke that when we rip out the counters I’ll have a pharmacy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk __________________ "I carried a watermelon?" President of the no F's given society. |

I always get bubble packs, too, they don't have pill bottles at my pharmacy. I can confirm that they're a pain when refilling my weekly pill box, and that I would prefer bottles. My lamotrigine pills have this really nasty artificially sweet taste to them so if I take them out of the bubble pack and put them in my pill box, then they stink up all of my other pills as well (not to mention the smell lingers in the box, too). Most bubble packs have these perforated lines where you can tear off individual pills, but the lamotrigine packs don't even have that, so I have to take out the scissors and cut up the bubble pack into sections that can fit into my pill box. I just want my meds, I'm not looking for an arts and crafts project!

I was under the impression that I would get one for morning pills and one for night pills not individual blister packs. I hope it not individual blister packs because that eill make it so difficult for me. same for my husband. I guess we try it this month than switch back if i dont like it. I pick up all my meds at the same so hopefully its only 2 blister packs each not 10+. I thought it would be easier because im on a bunch of meds. For my husband i was hoping he could eaily tske them. If it's more difficult he may not take them.I hope I didn't screw up.
