  What a fantastic way to destroy the meds.

  Kids man. Kids will get into everything. The pill bottle is supposed to slow them down.

    And pets. A paper bag with smells inside means some dog will eat it.

      Are you asking because you want to see less plastic or you have issues with a saftey cap that doesn’t require a key?

  it might be fine for most things but not when you get into controlled substances like pain killers, etc.

      Sure helps keep it out of the mouths of young children and pets.

  Why bother with a paper bag? Save a tree, you have two hands and a pocket.

  Moisture was already noted,but also UV light (brown paper bags are far less UV resistant than you think) and oxygenation is an issue. Even bottles aren’t that good, actually. Blisters are actually better, but even a bit more wasteful.

  You know…Those capsules and coated tablets are…you know…sensitive to moisture?

  Example: My capsules get soft as soon as they get wet.
  Imagine biting of a gummy bear and then sticking the remaining part on any dry surface. Those capsules can stick better than any gummy bear and they’ll rip apart very easily.

  After all they (some) are just made out of gelatine.

  I get 120 days worth of meds at a time. A paper bag would be destroyed.

  But the option would be good, so that I can reuse the bottle.

    Just double bag it. 😤

  Anyone could then tamper. These bottles are there for your safety and for those around you. It allows the product the be tracked in a recall. Regulations are usually there because of stuff like this.

      Yours maybe.
      Mine bottle caps are sealed.
      And the bottle has a aluminium seal on top (and it takes a knife or a pocket knife to puncture that. I tried with a finger. It hurt)

      Agree. Never have received tamper evident packaging from a pharmacy. what’s the point? They’re filled in front of me and handed to me.

  This is a terrible take because medication takers arent the source of the world’s plastic issues. This take is no different than shaming people into sorting their recycling when it just gets sent to some dump in China anyway and individuals, even en masse are not the drivers of mass pollution. Also people frequently reuse medication bottles to securely store various other things and keep them around indefinitey so they are probably one of the furthest things from “the problem” whatever the heck that problem is

    That shit is still plastic. Unless I am misunderstanding, OP’s problem is the plastic.

  Guns should also be left in the open for children to play with since we’re on the topic of easy things we can change to threaten the life of those that may not know better yet!

      Relying on a small child to stay on the ground in order to not accidentally kill themselves is a great way to end up with a dead kid.

      Furniture should be anchored to a wall, guns locked in safes with the safety enabled and ammo removed, drugs in child resistant packaging locked in a cabinet, drawers and cabinets secured, etc.

      Kids climb stuff, get into things, find things they shouldn’t, AND they emulate what they see their parents do. Putting something out of reach is nowhere near secure enough.

      Children are like kids: At times absolutely unpredictable.

  It’s almost like once upon a time we put shit in burlap sacks and paper and discovered that it was a moisture magnet. That’s good for pills right? A moist environment? Possibly warm depending on where you store it? That couldn’t possibly have adverse effects to sensitive compounds we ingest.
