Jeom"looks inside, individually packaged"
reddithalationi think that might be a suicide prevention measure, i remember something about blister packaging helping reduce suicide rates.
Just looked this up, had no idea but it makes sense
██████████😂 Bro its sad how so many doctors dont really consider most humans adults lol
Elaborate
Adults are the ones usually killing themselves by overdosing. Suicide is final, and survivors of botched attempts praise that they failed to kill themselves. It’s why men have a higher suicide rate, because their method is usually final. Having a packaging that hinders the process of suicide via overdosing is helpful to all involved.
down daemoni talked some shit above that that sounds more right, do you have any sources?
CDC reports 90% of suicide survivors don’t attempt a second suicide.

Why more men die than women in suicide attempts.
Surviving a Suicide Attempt
Suicide attempts are significantly more common than completed suicides. In 2019, for example, the CDC reported that in the U.S., there were 47,500 completed suicides compared to 1.4 million attempts—and while both of these numbers are likely underreported, they suggest that less than 5 percent of suicide attempts are fatal.
that still works if you put 20 in the same blister package
You will also often see such packaging used with in hospitals, group homes, and nursing homes. It helps to limit med errors for nurses and cnas and can allow some mentally handicapped people or elderly to have some control over their lives.
It’s not a common packaging you are going to get from a pharmacy unless specified for you by a doctor.
