CA2284132C — Blister package and packaged tablet

USPTO Abstract

The invention is a blister package (10) for containing frangible dosage forms {26) while protecting the dosage forms from damage during transport and opening of the package. A blister sheet (13) defines at least one recess (22) in which a flangible dosage form is disposed and a pellable sheet of lidding material (12) overlies the recesses (22) to cover the dosage form therein. Each dosage form engages its recess to prevent shifting of the dosage form during transport. Indicia (42) on the blister package (10) directs the user with regard to the procedure for opening the package without damaging the dosage form. Unsealed areas (23) in the package, which provide a portion of lidding material which the user can grasp to peel open the package, are provided with intersections defining dimples (39) which hide the graspable portion of lidding material from children.
