Abstract
A pill dispenser of the type having a plastic bubble containing each pill with frangible foil backing, has an improved construction enabling easier release of the pill through the foil. Each clear plastic bubble includes a raised circular blister at its top, on an otherwise generally planar plateau area. When the pill is forced out by the finger or thumb of the user, the raised blister is pushed inside out and assists in providing the required depth and force to push the pill out through the foil.
