Abstract
A shielded medication package including a blister portion and a blister shield attached to a backing substrate. Accessing a medicament is easy for an adult to accomplish, yet the package resists children biting and picking at the blister portion. The blister portion contains a base layer and a blister layer. The blister layer includes an article receiving blister designed for holding the medicament. A blister shield overlays the blister portion. The blister shield includes a blister well that cooperates with the article receiving blister. The blister shield protects the article receiving blister from substantially lateral forces. To eject the medicament, application of a substantially orthogonal force to the article receiving blister is required.
