I posted this question at Biology SE, but it was closed due to being off-topic.

Why are medical tablets packed in random order?

See this picture:

enter image description here

Is there any medical reason for this type of packing?

Is there a SE site that will suit this question?

    Quite frankly, this is a rather a silly question. I don't really see where the answer to such a question would help anyway. – Unitato says Reinstate Monica Aug 12 '17 at 4:30
  • Don't know which site is suitable for this question, but the image is suitable for "You Had One Job" Meme. :) – Arulkumar Aug 12 '17 at 6:48

    If you watch how they're packaged the answer is obvious: youtube.com/watch?v=TrAHTmq-DLE&t=3m32s – jonrsharpe Aug 12 '17 at 8:04

  • @Won't It won't make me nervous, I know they are OCD trigger pics. – user60343 Aug 15 '17 at 3:06

Surprisingly enough, not all questions fit the Q&A format well. As per the help centre..


Your pills not being aligned isn't actually a problem. As such, there's no real site where this question would fit. It's probably a result of common sense industrial design.
