There are some days when I'm gone for the day and I would like to set up my housemates meds so they would be ready when it's time to take them in case I don't make it back in time.
The directions suggest not taking the pills out of the bottle until it's time to take them. If they break down when exposed to light, I want to know why I can't choose a container that protects them from the light.
Each pill has a story of its own to tell. Only the pharmacist can tell you why these cancer drugs have to be taken directly from their bottle. A forum of caregivers is not equipped to do so. In fact, the pharmacist from Kaiser *our insurance company* called my DH directly with the info about Pradaxa; the doctor himself had no idea about the bottle acting as a humidor.
Good luck.
