ABSTRACT
All medicines have to be supplied in safe and secure packaging. That means:
• with some exceptions, that we need not bother with, oral solid dose medicines (for all practical purposes that means pills and solid medication designed to be dissolved) come in blister packs these days. Bottles and plastic pots with child-resistant lids are becoming more and more rare
• similarly, liquid medicines. Child resistant? Where they are still in use, that means a re-closable child-resistant container (the ones with the irritating lids you have to twist or squeeze or both - that only the kids can do it!), or in so-called unit packaging in strips or the blister type.
