What Is a Blister Pack?
A blister pack is a sealed, clearly labeled medication packaging system prepared by your pharmacist. Each bubble holds the exact pills you need for a specific time of day—morning, noon, evening, or bedtime.
At John & Jack Pharmacy, we tailor your blister packaging to match your prescription schedule, including weekly or extended formats where appropriate.
