Irritating. I am on mine for life, and the ones I have are as cheap as chips, but I still have to traipse to the dispensary every 4 weeks but what's more ridiculous (I need the exercise) is that we all bear the expense of processing it more or less manually every time.
Incidentally, my cheap medicines are the reason I'm alive and this hand to mouth carry on actually gives me 'tablet anxiety'. I therefore try to build up and maintain a buffer - it's not uncommon for tablets to be temporarily out of stock. The prescription system seems to be an exercise in work creation, given the volume of pills handed out every week there must be a cheaper way of distributing the cheap stuff. They are also expensively and awkwardly packed in plastic, a bottle of a couple of hundred would be much easier to handle than a blister pack. I suppose some fools would tip the bottle down their necks.
