That's nice. Here in Sweden, this is a standard way of delivering medications to those who need it pre-sorted for easier delivery. It also has environmental benefits, since the waste can be reduced.

It's called "ApoDos" (which is just a portmonteau of the "apotek" which means pharmacy, and "dos" which means "dose"), here's a web page from Sweden's largest pharmacy: http://www.apoteketfarmaci.se/Tjanster/Service.aspx?UniqueId....
