Packaging

One manufacturer is on our side over size

From Mr J. C. Berrill, MRPharmS

I agree with Peter Beckley (PJ, 13 December 2003, p812) that packs are getting bigger, unnecessarily. However, one manufacturer seems to be on our side, helping those of us working with limited shelf space.

Karib Kemi-Pharm Ltd has produced a range of generics in small, neat packs that are about 70 per cent of the bulk of most other offerings. Its pack of 14 trimethoprim 200mg tablets is a gem. Perhaps our wholesalers could help us to use more packs similar to these.
