My stepdad has arthritis, he gets prescribed packs of 600mg ibu, with like 5x20 blister packs in a pack or something around that number. It’s mainly that at least in germany pill bottles don’t exist, and probably some other EU countries too. Might be illegal for safety reasons or something, all I ever see in bottles are supplements and such. Medication is always in blister packs. I kind of dislike how wasteful that seems.

I have also never seen 200mg ibu though, only 400 and 600.

Yeah, blister packs seem like such a bad idea compared to a bottle, environmentally. I can see the safety issue for sure though.
