Come on get with the program guys!
Posted on June 27, 2008 - Filed Under Health
Why on earth do drug companies put medication for people with Rheumatoid Arthritis into containers that are damn near impossible to open…even on a good day?
You know what? Something as frustrating as not being able to open my tablet container unaided can be enough to send me into a spin for the rest of the day. It is so frustrating to me when I am not able to do the simple tasks that I used to take for granted.
I have found myself slowly but surely making small changes in my life to make things easier for me on a daily basis…now I just need to get the tablet container people to come to the party.
Are you listening to me all you multi million dollar conglomerates out there?
Well you should be…Get with the program guys!

Ohhh I hear ya,I was the same when my eyesight went West without me.
Yes, it is sooo men who design those damn bottles!
It is ridiculous! Can you get TETB to transfer them into easy opening containers for you?
I feel for ya! Used to drive me bonkers before things got bad just trying to open the “child-proof” bottles, which incidentaly, never stopped any child I’ve known! And now, well sometimes I have a wee fit and chuck them across the room if there’s no one there to help me…….
Amen! Arthritis medicine you cant get to. So frustrating…..
A Webster pack might be a simple solution if your pharmacy is prepared to provide them for you. That’s what most folks I know with arthritis use because they too find it really hard to get into the bottles. Just an idea anyway.
I think they do it on purpose.
You struggle. Your joints probably end up feeling worse so you end up needing MORE painkillers and arthritis drugs.
You also come close to having a nervous breakdown and have to buy antidepressants and anxiety-drugs.
It’s a good way for the drug companies to make more money.
