(yes, Ibuprofen is my friend) The box is glued shut, but the lid is the kind you just have to push the two sides in to open, and it's sealed only with the foil. NO COTTON. (They don't need cotton anymore to keep pills from falling apart which was the reason for using it in the first place). And if you want an even easier open bottle - get the kind with the top for arthritis sufferers - specially marked boxes. It has an easy twist off top that requires no extra manipulation to get it open. (although this wouldn't be safe if you had kids that liked to try out your meds) Sorry about the headache, hope you're feeling better soon. I get the Advil in the 200+ count size.

But both is overkill. Which is exactly what I'm tempted to do. Look, either the box & plastic sheath or the box & heavy-duty foil top would be sufficient to prevent tampering. But both is overkill.

As for the migraine.... ...I recommend Ginko Biloba. It dilates the blood vessels in the brain reducing the pressure that causes migraines. It also enhances mental capabilities. However, I counsel against taking it in conjunction with other mind-pain relief medications. I also counsel against taking it before going to bed....unless you want some REALLY weird and vivd dreams. P.S. As for the migraine….
