    I don’t think I’ve ever had bottles even prescription drugs have always been in individual wrapped packets.

    At one point I was on some pretty strong painkillers and I’m pretty sure they didn’t trust me even with the individually wrapped tablets they were individually boxed, with “Monday Morning”, “Monday Afternoon”, etc written on them.

      Really depends on the prescription. I’ve gotten boxes with 120 1000mg ibuprofen powder bags because I needed to be on them long-term.

      My meds for my adrenal gland also come in 200 pill bottles (1 a day). But then my POTS heart meds come in 12 pill strips when I need 6 a day.

        Sometimes bottles would make more sense. A relative had a heart transplantation and takes a dozen different pills every day. Setting up the weekly pill rationing is crazy. A lot of work because of the blisters and so much waste.

      My ADHD meds have always come in a bottle (in the UK), but I guess that’s because I’m supplied a month at a time.
