One of the bugbears of those of us who take medication every day is the packaging. Modern packaging is all blister packs. They play absolute havoc with the thumbs and particularly the thumb nails. I do have a pill puncher and it's a great help but it tends to break the aspirin in half and they are the worst for the thumbs. Imagine, therefore, my delight when I went to the Pharmacy in Taradale (where my New Zealand Doctor's surgery is) I received my pills loose in a screw top container. I imagine, too, that it is more environmentally friendly.
