I get my first blister pack Tuesday. I hope it is easy to use. It's a whole month's worth!

I have a daily pill box that I put am and pm in same slot. If I don't fill it I take from individual bottles which is a pain.

Just filled my AM/PM pill box. I keep my bedtime meds in their bottles. One year on my birthday I took a sleeping pill instead of my blood pressure medicine. I fell asleep on the way to dinner.

I have them in the original bottles, and they're locked up in a lock box. I have a routine for taking them and they're set a certain way in the lock box so I don't mix them up. I would use a pill box but I take too many pills and supplements in the morning to fit in one.

I don't understand what you all mean by blister packs. Does the pharmacy put each day's drugs in separate sheets per day of blisters? eg You take 7 different drugs, so you have a sheet with those 7 drugs? Monday--sheet 1, etc. Or do they put each month's pill sheets in their own separate box. Like: here's a box of 30 Seroquel, 3 sheets,10 to a sheet?

I'm just curious. I think pills are kept fresher in bubbles, but I am terrible at getting the pill out of it's blister. I hate getting free samples because they usually package them that way.

I can tell you better tomorrow, Wonderfalls. But when I saw them for a moment, they looked like thin plastic rectangles with flat tops - 30 at a time attached to each other.

That should be a picture of what my pharmacy uses for blister packaging.

They are in sheets of a month. Each blister holds am pm noon or whatever is needed. Each blister back is flat and labeled with the date the it will be taken. The blisters are in order of date too. At the top each drug is listed and a description. The back of the blister pack just peels off, no cutting or popping etc.
