Hello, ProZ members.

Selected answer:A folding pack that holds drugs
Explanation:
It's a cardboard folder like a small book. Inside there is a "blister" pack - a plastic sheet with a transparent top cover with bubbles that each hold one dose of the drug (normally a pill or capsule). Often they are used to hold a complete treatment of the drug, for instance an antibiotic where a fixed number have to be taken.

agree  Yvonne Gallagher: maybe "...medicines". "Drugs" might give wrong impression though I know it's freely used in US English
