Same here in Germany. I’m pretty sure, cutting and repackaging pills would be illegal.
Comment on The way my fuck-ass pharmacist makes up the remaining pills in my bastarding prescription

Here in my country (at least public healthcare, which my mother and I use, and the private provider my grandfather uses), pharmacists give you enough full boxes to cover the month, even for controlled substances, even if that means giving a few extra pills.
As an example, I take 1 ½ Risperidone pills daily, which makes 45 pills a month. Boxes are 20 pills each, so they give me 3 boxes (60 pills). The leftovers helped me a couple of times I was sick or otherwise couldn’t get the refill on time.
There was only one time where they gave me two boxes and a blister (50 pills), but it was still a full blister.

Here in Sweden, I’m pretty sure pills are only distributed individually like that in controlled settings (elder care facilities, etc). Otherwise you just get the whole box.

I’ve had insurance only cover exactly 30 days once per calendar month. Not much of a problem until you’re trying to pick up your refill on the 31st.
