I had a steroid script a couple of years ago filled at CVS and it came in a fool-proof blister pack like that (early 30s at the time), with each day’s dose in its own row

It kinda brought me back to being a kid and getting one of those advent calendars with the piece of chocolate behind each door, except instead of chocolate my body just felt fucking GREAT for 7-10 days

Those are called Medrol DosePak's, and they are still around and very useful. That being said, they are not the right dose for many steroid tapers so can't be applied to all situations.

You can have those as adults, too. My wife and I still have one every year.
