Wait till you have to take those teeny tiny pills. And you'd never say that about the horse pills if you had to take the pills I took after my aneurysm. I had to take 2 of them every 4 hours for 3 weeks straight. When we picked them up at the pharmacy, they filled an entire shopping bag.
.
My BP pills are so small that a 90 day supply fit into the smallest size pill bottle. I have no trouble getting one pill out and putting it in my mouth
I bought some OTC pills a couple of weeks ago. When I goot home and opened the bottle, I said "these aren't horse pills, they are elephant pills". They are the biggest I have ever seen.

Isn’t that a good thing if they are male enhancement products🤗
Not saying that’s what you got
maybe blister packs will take care of this? anyway, more are on the way:
In Western Europe, most prescription medicines are sold in blister packs too.
More reasons apply to prescribed drugs, such as reducing pharmacy dispensing errors.
Americans are strongly resistant to blister packs, prescription or not, but more blister packaging is in our future.
I see that your major exercise seems to be jumping to conclusions.
No. Actually if some social worker saw my pills they would say that this needs a review. And the review would conclude that OK, these are my pills that I really do need (except the iron and vitamin C supplements maybe).
...The worst problem I have with pills is sometimes the lid is too hard to get off the bottle. When I get one of those bottles, I put the pills in a plastic baggie and stuff the baggie in the bottle, leaving the bottle lid off.
Do you know that, if your pills are in one of those child-proof bottles, you can turn flip the lid over and put it on on backwards. The smaller circle on top of the cap is designed to fit snugly into the opening of the bottle.
Not all bottles are designed this way but most child-proof varieties have this added function.
The ones I have trouble with are those dang Sudafed. Remember when you used to be able to get a bottle of 100? But NOOOOOOO. Now you can only get them in the pop-out foil packs. The NAME BRAND Sudafed. Little red pills. Generic versions don't do what I'm about to describe.
So you pull out one of these sheets with the pills in little bubbles with the foil back. And you're supposed to bend a corner back and then supposedly the foil will peel off and you can take the pill out. And you need to do this twice, 2 pills, per dose.
I swear peeling that foil off is 10x harder than it needs to be. Half the time it either leaves too much behind so I'm trying to pull it off with a finger nail, OR - the pill leaps out of that bubble past my desperately reaching fingers and takes a suicide dive down the drain.
YEEEE ARRRRGH!

Don't bother peeling it back . Poke a hole in it with your fingernail and then push it out from the other side
