Privatize profits, socialize environmental waste.
Buy the generic. Much cheaper and comes in a bottle instead of wrapped individually.
Generic loratadine comes in boxes of 100 for a fifth of the price of a box of Claritin
You probably paid $6-10 bucks for 5 tablets of loratadine when you can buy a store brand that has 60-100 pills in it at that price, with significantly less wasteful packaging. Be the change you want to see in the world.
Companies: We don’t want a repeat of the Chicago Tylenol murders, thanks.
_As long as we place the climate problem with the end user, this group can be penalized by environmental taxes and and paying more profit for the packaging to the manufacturers, as a result, the government and the manufacturer earn more money from it, without being really responsible for the environmental problem._
You have other options available with A LOT less packaging. dont complain if you buy the ticket.
All medication in the uk comes like this unfortunately
As a kid I used to have severe seasonal allergies and Claritin didn’t do shit.
Far cheaper to buy one forming die. It also makes qualification and validation a fuck ton easier.
ETA: you should see the scrap generated from a unit dose machine, nothing is recyclable.
I bought the same pack yesterday! Allergies hit me out of nowhere and I bought them at a gas station…no other options close by. I know I paid 10x what I would otherwise but it was kind of urgent…. I imagine that the OP is in a similar situation.
Please take responsibility for my actions!
If you know someone with a Sam’s club membership you can get 400 generic pills for $10.
The greatest trick corporations pulled was convincing people the onus is on the consumer for disposing of the product properly, rather than that they should not have ever been allowed to make the packaging in the first place. Other countries would never let this fly.
It’s so cheap to manufacture just include more Claritin.
The emphasis on recycling is very much propaganda to steer the attention from the other two much more important Rs that go before recycling (and for a reason).
The impact of recycling is miniscule compared to the impact of reducing waste and reusing stuff to avoid turning it into waste, but those two are not very friendly to profit, so instead they make noise about how they recycle and how their stuff is recyclable so it’s up to you to do something.
Do not get fooled, reduce and reuse first, recycle goes last.
Also companies: That’ll be $25
Putting the onus in the consumer who has no way to get the product other than the way the manufacturer makes it. Instead of putting the onus on the manufacture for making something horrible for the environment.
I recently needed like 30 drops of iodine for a week. Only option was a huge 16 oz bottle for $7. 99.9% of that bottle is going in the trash now. So dumb.
Holy shrinkflation Batman
Nothing like Dollar Tree Claratin D
I always thought that you got pills in a bottle in the US (I am French and thankfully never had to see an MD while in the US).
This is one thing we could adopt here in Europe instead of never-ending boxes and plastic to wrap a few pills. And then use the bottle for refills. The added value is that when you need 12 pills, you do not need to buy 2×10 boxes and get rid of the remaining 8 pills (hopefully at the pharmacy and not in the trash)
