repackaging of medicines/drugs
Explanation:
See e.g.: "Repackaged drugs simply mean that a drug is removed from its original packaging and is put in a smaller, safer and simpler packaging form. Repackaging medications also split them in different doses, making the patient easy to keep track of their schedule of medication." (https://www.pdrx.com/articles/repackaging-and-prepackaging-f... )

repackaging medication


Explanation:
https://proficientrx.com/repackaging-medication-how/
When you first hear the word “repackaged” you may think it means reusing medications. This is not the case at all. In fact, repackaging medication is one of the safest ways to provide patients with the safest prescription.

Repackaged medication simply means a medication is taken from its original packaging and placed into a smaller, safer and simpler type of packaging. Repackaging medication often separates it into individual doses, making it easy for the patient to keep on track with their medication schedule.
