Ho hum,
I keep getting ridiculed for suggesting that medicines should be dipensed in packaging that the patients can cope with. Aspirin dispersible and ferrous sulphate are available in bulk packs - paracetamol caplets might be easier to open because of the leverage.
Ranbaxy ramipril were a pain - open a packet and demostrate to patient that it's a case of tearing not pushing, and if it's a problem offer an alternative make.
Omeprazole - last time I checked has an unsticked corner that you peal from.
Again - once you are aware that there is a problem - show the patient before the complaint.
Oh and if you work for a multiple, make a note of the complaints and forward them to head office/line manager.
