"Unlabelled medication supply"

At an endocrinology appointment last week my mother received a ziplock packet containing 3 capsules.  There was no label detailing the drug name,  strength or dosage. She was not supplied with a patient information leaflet for the drug, only a general information leaflet on osteoporosis and the verbal instruction to take 2 capsules that night. It is unclear why she was given 3 capsules. 

I wish to bring this to the attention of the pharmacy team who oversee medicine supply within the Queen Elizabeth hospital to ensure this practice does not continue. A more appropriate supply would be either a prepack of the medicine supplied directly from the endocrinology department or a prescription to be dispensed at a pharmacy.
