A blister pack (10) comprises a support sheet (12) having a plurality of pockets (14) each of which retains a tablet (25) so that it rests on an edge (24) with its opposing edge (24) adjacent to a frangible cover sheet (20) which closes the pockets. The pockets comprise a support portion (22) which retains the tablets on their edge, and a guide portion (26) for facilitating loading of the tablets (25) into the support portion (22). The blister pack (10) can be mounted on a plate (50) for relative movement therewith, and a tablet (25) ejected from a pocket (14) by pushing the tablet (25) through the frangible cover sheet (20) and then through a dispensing window (67) in the plate (50).
