Most manufacturers of antiretroviral medications prohibit repackaging. They state that the included desiccant in the bottle protects against moisture, but there is no evidence to support potency loss or degradation.
Most institutions repackage medications for inpatient use, and for outpatient care, educators assist patients in filling their pill bottles, which technically counts as repackaging.
Inquiring to learn What is the appropriate action to take in this scenario to ensure patient safety and compliance?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
