Packaging

Days of the week

From Mrs V. Posner

Most manufacturers put days of the week on the back of blister packs. As tablets need to be pushed from the front this seems strange. I have calculated that the extra time given to me by taking the numerous drugs for my heart complaint will be wasted in turning the blister packs backwards and forwards to check the day. Why can the day of the week not be printed on the front of the blister pack?
