Abstract
A child resistant senior friendly medication storage and distribution package including a blister portion and a blocking substrate sandwiched between a dispensing substrate and a backing substrate. The procedure to access the medicament is easy for an adult to understand and accomplish, yet difficult for most children. The blister portion contains a base layer and a blister layer. The blister layer includes an article receiving blister designed for holding the medicament. The dispensing substrate has a dispensing substrate blister receiver. The blister receiver is configured to cooperate with the blister so it extends through the dispensing substrate. The blocking substrate includes a gate that initially covers a portion of the blister. The gate must be moved, or slid, out of the way in order to eject the medicament. The user applies a force to the gate causing it to translate between the backing substrate and the dispensing substrate.
