Abstract
The invention is a child resistant and easy to use blister package for containing a solid medicament that utilizes a push and peel mechanism as an opening feature. The multi-section blister card package has an opening mechanism which features a pre-formed second cavity in the blister container sheet which is adjacent to the cavity containing the product and a corresponding full score or cut in both the backing closure sheet and the container sheet. A land area or notch of material that is not cut through is maintained in the score area to add break away resistance for hindering child access. An unsealed area in the closure sheet encompasses the pre-formed second cavity and score area allowing for easy separation of materials. The blister is opened by pushing on the pre-formed cavity and score area to easily break the land area and free the backing closure sheet at the score forming a pull allowing for easy access to separate and pull the backing material towards the product cavity and thus exposing the product cavity.
