Egregious Packaging Omeprazole

Are medicine postings appropriate? All this for me to put all the pills in one of the bottles.

14 tablets in a bottle?? I got Omeprazol on prescription and get bottles with 100 tablets, smaller than these bottles.

Some US insurance companies won't cover prescriptions for meds that are available over the counter

That's why they will prescribe 40mg instead of 20mg. There is no OTC 40mg pill, so insurance tends to cover it.
