blister strips


Explanation:
This is the internal packaging for tablets - the foil bit with the plastic bubbles inside which sit the tablets.

For example "He dispensed a prescription for 28 cerivastatin 300mcg tablets, supplying the tablets in a white skillet. This was found to contain two foil blister strips of Lipobay 300 tablets; the ends of the strips had been cut off so that no batch number or expiry date was visible."
