Placebo Packaging

Nice bit of design and packaging for a placebo pill, by French designer Stephanie Beneteau. Though of course if you know it’s a placebo, it won’t work. So it’s a bit flawed.

Until the 50s in America, the placebo was legally allowed to be prescribed by doctors for a range of ailments, being more effective for some ailments than some of the drugs available at the time. They had to stop this though, as knowingly lying to your patients wasn’t seen as particularly hippocratic. Shame.
