Abstract

A product is packaged in a blister, which is displayed and securely held in a child resistant gripper (10) on the top of a package. The blister bubble (7) is made of a strong plastic material, which is sufficiently rigid to hold its shape and which is difficult to tear or puncture without a sharp tool. The individual blister (3) is displayed with the blister exposed through an opening (11) of a holder (10). A base flange (9) of the blister is secured under the frame (13) around the opening (11) of the holder (10). A backing for the blister, through which the medication (5) is conventionally removed, is held tightly against the bottom (21) of the cap (20). Precise manipulations are required to remove the blister package. The blister package (3) is removed from between the holder (10) and the end cap (20) before the backing on the blister is opened.

[0004] There is a need to provide a child-resistant cover for medication that displays an indication of the medication history or prompts that a dose or doses of the medication need to be taken. The display should be relatively easy to read an...
