Abstract
A child-resistant yet senior-friendly packaging for tablets, capsules or similar pharmaceutical products. The packaging is a blister pack (122) with at least one cup (134) that receives tablets (130) in an external package (120), arranged between a base part (124) and a cover part (128), and that is closed by a cover film (136) that can be pressed through. An intermediate part (126) is covered by a cover part (18). A first adhesive (30) is arranged between the base part (14) or the blister pack (122) and the base part (124). The intermeiae part (126) includes a first opening tongue (142) that is preferably linked with the intermediate part (126) via a first perforated line (144) so that it can be detached, and, within said first opening tongue (142), a second opening tongue (146) that is preferably linked with the first opening tongue (142) via a second perforated line (148) so that it can be detached. The second opening tongue (146) can be detached from the first opening tongue (142) once the first opening tongue (142) is removed from the intermediate part (126) and exposes the cover film (136).
