The package includes a blister tray having a planar surface and a plurality of spaced apart open ended tablet accommodating first blister depressions formed therein. A plurality of entry facilitating second blister depressions are provided on the planar surface spaced adjacent each first blister depression. A planar lid is removably sealed over the planar surface of the blister tray and includes portions overlying disposed over the first and second blister depressions. The lid is puncturable through the plane of the lid at a location over the second blister depressions so as to facilitate removal of portions of the lid overlying the first blister depressions so as to expose the tablets for dispensing.
