A packaging system for storing and dispensing individual doses of medication on prescribed days, the packaging system comprising a series of sheets adapted to fold over each other with doses of medication removably held thereon. A plurality of labels are held on at least one of the sheets, each label corresponding to one dose of medication, each of the labels being adapted to be removed from one of the sheets and applied to a calendar to thereby serve as a reminder of the day on which the corresponding individual dose of medication is to be taken. The packaging system may further comprise a sleeve with one open end, the open end and the sleeve engaging the sheets when in a folded state.
