Default Package Tampering in Betaseron

I'm posting this as a concern and a warning. Still trying to figure out a solution for myself. This week I purchased my Beta Seron as usual. It comes in a box with 14 sealed blister packs of the drug with syringe, diluent, etc. I reached in, picked up a blister pack and found it pulled open rather easily. To my amazement, there was a capped syringe (needle included). The vial had the blue transfer device already on it and there was no tablet inside. Since cognitive issues are to be expected with this disease, I did question myself. Had I become distracted and assembled it and NOT remembered. Then I looked down into the box. There were the parts of the package in the bottom and both alcohol preps were unopened in the bottom of the box ( under the other blister packs). That's when I knew I had NOT done this. Bayer sent me a single blister pack replacement (after talking with the Beta nurse), but I have to say I am a bit "sqeemish" about using the medicine. I have been on it for 8 years. This is a first. The pharmacist was shocked as well. Clearly this is package tampering. Where it may have occurred...there is no way to tell as the box is NEVER sealed. Bayer needs to address this.
