  • If I have a strip of, say, 10 pills, 2 rows of 5, and I get a prescription for 6 pills, that means I’m gonna have a strip of 4 pills left over. If I get a prescription for 9 pills, there’s gonna be a single one left over. Do you want these pills to just be thrown away?

    Order of 6 pills - give a 3x2, you now have a 2x2.

    Order 9 pills - give the 2x2 and a 1x5, you now have a 1x5.

    I see your problem, but I don’t see how that can turn into “a 10x1, a 4x1, a 2x1 and another 2x1” as your best choice. That looks like he got the left-over-pile after a day of ever order getting from a new pack.

    Honestly, I don’t know why you even have to open a package. I’ve never seen that, and I’ve been in some long pharmacy queues. Never been to US though.

    If I need exactly 10 pills, I get a box with 10 pills, packed in a factory like any other box of pills.
