Not sure I understand what you're saying about blister packaging? Are there drugs that don't come in blister packaging in the US?
Here all I can think about are the paracetamol/acetaminophen effervescent tablets that come in tubes of 8 x 1g (or 16 x 500mg).
- replygirl 5y agooxy doesn't even come in blister packs here. at least not as of a few years ago, when i got it for spraining my ankle
- zerocrates 5y agoThere are drugs that come just in bottles: the typical OTC pain relievers (acetaminophen/paracetamol, ibuprofen, etc.) are all offered this way and you can easily buy bottles containing hundreds of pills. And of course there are others. Prescription drugs are pretty routinely dispensed in just pill bottles also, though I'm sure there are some for which this isn't allowed.
- paulmd 5y agoI'm pretty sure there are also "degrees" of blister packaging too. You've got the ones that are just foil, you've got ones with a paper backing, and then you've got ones where I'm pretty sure the paper is glued to the foil so it's basically impossible to get it to separate and you have to cut it out with a knife. The first doesn't really bother me. The last one is absolutely obnoxious. I'm guessing the FDA is pushing the last type for "drugs of concern" like sudafed or imodium.
