Blister packs or bottles: choosing packaging for capsules and tablets

Blister packs protect each dose from air and moisture until it is used, show a missed dose at a glance, and suit pharmacy shelves and travel.

Bottles cost less per unit at volume, hold larger counts and suit products taken daily over long periods.

Moisture-sensitive ingredients

Probiotics and some herbal extracts often do better in blisters, or in bottles with a desiccant.
