Abby,
I agree!! Actually, a big thread over at bc.org is ranting away, myself included....
http://community.breastcancer.org/forum/78/topic/709569
the bad news is some pharmacies do not yet have the bottles available as they haven't dispensed all the blisterbastards. My pharmacy included.
The good news is you can rip off all the cardboard and push out the pills easily from the foil and put in your old bottle if needed. Someone posted on how to do this on the above thread with photos if anyone is interested.
And if anyone is wondering what Abby and I are talking about, Arimidex arrived this summer in a "new, improved" blister pack. I could barely get one pill out with a pair of tweezers, an eye pencil and some grunting. And I cut my finger. It is horrible.
