ReumaNederland is working with the UT on a new pill stripArthritis medication is too often packed in a pill strip (blister pack) that is not easy to open for people with this condition. Recent research by ReumaNederland shows that almost two-thirds (64%) of people with arthritis have difficulty opening their own medicines due to their limited hand function. In the case of a pill strip, as much as 71% have difficulty opening the packaging. This problem will only get worse now that the Europese Geneesmiddelen Agentschap has determined that a commonly used rheumatic medicine containing methotrexate (MTX) can no longer be supplied in a bottle. ReumaNederland has therefore entered into a collaboration with the University of Twente to develop a arthritis-friendly pill strip.Read more
