Montelukast packaging

The storage information for montelukast in both Lexicomp and the package insert says to keep in original container until use. For facilities that order bulk bottles of the 4mg chew, 5mg chew or 10mg tabs, how are you dispensing to patients? Are you truly keeping in original bottle and dispensing individually to each patient? Or trying to keep U/D in stock?
