Why though? A childproof lid isn't that difficult to open.
Weak hands can be troublesome. I recently had a ligament repair in my hand, and it does make it difficult/painful. It'll be a few weeks before I have the strength back
LPT: The lids on prescription pill bottles can usually be turned over and used as a cap, removing the child safety aspect. So now I can pop them open with one hand, no need to twist them
Could you not ask the pharmacist to put it in a child-unsafe container instead, in that case?
The containers they give me already have that option, you just flip the lid. I guess I could ask them to flip them for me, but I can still get them open either way... one way is just way easier (aka not child-proof lol)
