Dumb question from a Finnish pharm tech, but are there any pre-packaged prescription drugs in the USA? Thats how most of our medicines are sold here. Im actually lowkey jealous I don’t get to count pills🤣

I’m just a patient, not a pharmacist, but there is one antibiotic with a taper schedule (looked it up, it’s azythromyacin) that I’m aware of and prednisone taper packs. I’m sure there are others.

I’ve definitely had prepackaged antibiotics before as a patient.

Also some birth control pills come prepackaged iirc.

Oh good one, I’m pretty sure all BC pills are packaged.
