Abstract

A child resistant tablet package accommodates low density pharmaceutical tablets. The package includes a blister tray having a plurality of blister depressions which accommodate the low density porous pharmaceutical tablets. The blister tray further includes a frangible tray extent spaced adjacent to each blister depression. The frangible tray extent may be manually punctured through the surface of the blister tray. A planar lid is removably sealed over the blister tray and encloses the tablets within the blister depressions. The blister lid includes frangible cover extents overlying each of the frangible tray extents. The cover extents and the tray extents may be frangibly displaced so as to establish a graspable peel tab to facilitate peelable removal of portions of the cover from the overlying disposition with respect to the blister depressions so as to expose the tablets for dispensing.
