Not being on any medication i don't feel fully qualified to comment but we do have things like paracetamol in the house. I tend to find that the boxes are quite large for what is inside them but two or three boxes can be condensed into one simply by putting all of the sleeves in one box.
Edit just seen arzosah has said the same thing.
Remove packets or not

Issued green fabric tape.
We usually call it sniper tape or green freindly.
Cutting, combustion, cordage, container, cover.
Re: Remove packets or not
I use sellotape rather than green fabric tape on the back of the tablets in the little EDC kit I carry. It means that the printed back remains clearly visible which is useful for me and if plod ever wanted to take a look. I've not worried too hard about instructions for this kit as it is mostly standard stuff and the quantities are not enough for an adult overdose.
