Helpful Hints
Medico Pak does not recommend ‘popping’ the pills out through the backing. You could lose pills, drop them on the floor, or even crush them accidentally.
If you do not wish to tear off individual blisters or strips along the perforations you will find the best way to remove the backing is to pierce the backing using a blunt object like a teaspoon. Very little pressure is required to break the seal using this technique. Pak Poppers are available through your pharmacy.
To remove a blister, simply tear along the perferations. Peel off the backing starting from the marked corner. Alternatively use a teaspoon to open.
