> Eventually they got the drift, opened a box of pills and gave me a sheet of them with no further instruction. This isn't too far off how prescriptions work in many places in europe, east or west. If you're lucky, they'll hand-write instructions on the box (that are incomprehensible to me). For added confusion, the chemists don't count pills/break packages. So if your order is for 7 doses, but they come in boxes of 5, you'll get 10 doses.
