  Are you perhaps thinking of the packaging directly from the manufacturer and not the containers that the pharmacist uses to dole out medication to multiple customers?

    Either way.

      Well I am familiar with the concept; I don’t know what the exact constraints that exist beyond the basic chemistry of the medicines themselves and what would help them remain safe and stable. With a little bit of knowledge about mechanical design criteria for human usage. Do you perhaps know of any constraints beyond those?

        Paper is probably the worst material to protect drugs over any time frame other than using it in the next days. I’m not entirely sure what problem you are trying to solve.

        If it’s about how those bottles dispense the medicine, it sounds like a bit of a skill issue.
