Abstract
The present invention concerns a novel tamper-evident, child-resistant blister package for medicaments and nonmedicaments which is user-friendly, but which is difficult to open by young children and impaired adults. Because the blister package has pull tabs which are designed to be pulled away from, rather than towards, article-receiving pockets which may be present in the blister package other than the article-receiving pocket being accessed, a young child or user of the blister package can only access one article-receiving pocket at a time, whether deliberately or inadvertently. The blister package of the invention is an attractive and inexpensive package for the merchandising of pharmaceutical and other products which is constructed in a manner which facilitates mass production.
