Is it because they would deteriorate if exposed to the air? Or to prevent them from being jostled together, maybe because the binder is weak? It seems to be mostly expensive pills that are packed this way, so maybe it is just to increase the size of the packaging so the cost doesn't seem so significant. I have many small boxes of such bubble-card pills, and don't have much room to store them. So I'd like to just pop them all off the cards and put them in a bottle. But if the first case is true (deterioration) then that would be a mistake. Does anyone have knowledge about this? A pharmacist? A drug company employee?
