Also, just personally, I’m a nurse and although I know it’s cost efficient to just buy a bottle of meds to give some to those who need it, I’ve always been leery of it when I see some people do that. It’s really not ideal to be giving people meds that they’re not opening themselves… even as a nurse, we pretty much open oral meds in front of the patient so they can actually see what it is, then give it to them to take. Individual packets of OTC meds just seem like a better choice to me.
