Curious thing I’ve just noticed about my progesterone prescription. It’s for 28x100mg capsules, fine, but the capsules come in packs of 30. So every month the pharmacist cuts two capsules from the blister pack before sending the rest to me.
What happens to these little pairs of progesterone capsules? Is there someone who finds themselves with a box containing 14 little two-capsule blister packs? Is any of this worth anyone’s time and effort rather than letting me have an extra two?

in reply to WOMUMP • • •@womump While I have one that comes in boxes of 84 as 3x21s and am prescribed 28 at a time, so I *usually* get one full strip and a 1x7 cut off another. But not always.
I am on some things which are one-month-at-a-time only, and this isn't one of them.
(Also, the chemist has an auto-repeat system which works on a calendar month, which is 🙄 )
