Press-Through Packaging versus Bold and Slim Bottle-Type Containers: A Comparative Evaluation of Drug Packaging Usability in Patients with Rheumatic Diseases

In the present study, Bold showed faster extraction times and slightly higher preference scores, although these differences were not statistically significant. Although the sample size was small, the participants preferred the Bold bottle-type container, which they found easy to use. These findings suggest that individuals with impaired hand and finger function prefer Bold bottle-type containers as drug packaging. Thus, the use of such packaging could help improve drug adherence and usability for some users over the long term.
