Repacked Medications as LASA

Dears, I have a query about the repacked loose tablet medications in the brownish bottles for outpatient use, as you all know after repackaging all the bottles looks the same and the labels used also with same colors and fonts. the query is about how we assure the safety of using these medications as patients may receive two or three repacked bottles and all looks the same.we encountered many complaints from patients about this point despite each medication is labeled with the name and instructions.
