Picked up one repeat prescription - dose altered and was given this in a large plastic bag - noticed last month, my repeat prescriptions were also in a plastic bag and just didn't really think much of this..but now, why are the pharmacies using plastic bags? Is it for hygiene or ??

My prescriptions come in custome dosette packs made from card and tissue. There are 4 plus other stuff so the driver delivers them in "single use" plastic bags, I find a use for the plastic bags packing orders from my shops. I recycle any clean packaging materials and so far no one has objected.

As a customer I once got an Ebay order packed in sanitary towels (unused) which was a big of a surprise. However they do make excellent packaging for delicate items!
