    Price much higher than other equivalent otc drugs and packaging is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to open. Blister packs are extremely difficult to open. Hard to pierce, sticks and pinches fingers, and 1 in 15 fall and get lost in carpet, or get chipped when removing. Do yourself a favor and get one of the less expensive brands that come in a bottle!!!
