How is the blister pack, are the pills easy to pop out? The name brand easily presses out pills, but some brands you have to pick at it &amp; peal paper

Actually quite easy. The shape and hardness of the tablets helps. It's strong enough that they won't pop out by accident, but once you give them a good push, out they come.

Depends on the size of the blister pak - I place 4 pills in each compartment for my mother. I could fit a couple more in there if I had to. BTW - this thing has saved us $500/month because my mother is in assisted living and that would be the additional monthly charge for administering her meds.

We usually get them in gel cap form. They are pretty small, no jagged edges. Goes down easy. My eldest (21) has trouble swallow tablets and large pills, they can get stuck and cause him to vomit them up. He takes these with no problems. HTH

In blister packs, but not those impossible to break into blisters like Coricidin comes in. They are clear, kind of flexible plastic on one side and foil on the other, just a 'tad' lighter than heavy-duty Reynolds Wrap. Even w/ arthritis, you should be able to release the tabs from the pack.

Great question. Sometimes I can easily open them with my teeth and they pop open, but sometimes the pressure causes the other end to open and the product drips on me. I suggest scissors.

I haven't used it that way, but the basic design would imply that it would work unless the composition of the pill didn't allow it. Pills meant to break into quarters often have special groves for that purpose. In that case it should still work as long as the marks are evenly distributed across the pill. Long narrow pills can be more difficult. For what it costs I think it would be worth a try. I use it on Cumadin and Corgard and it works fine. I wish there was a tool to mass open a blister pack. I really hate them.

I've ordered 4 of these pill containers, and they are all easy to open. You could try using something like Vaseline to rub on the lid and/or container at the top. Perhaps you should return this for a replacement.

The size we bought had 20-pill blister packs (don't recall how many packs in our order). No bottle shown, as far as I can see. They seem to work as expected. I'm using them to clear excessive phlegm in my throat that seem related to allergies. I plan to order more.

Slide a fingernail into the foil surrounding the capsule; and then press gently on the plastic container in which the pill sits, the pill will release up through the foil. If you still have a prob, then take a small pointed implement and make a slit in the foil; and then, follow the rest of my advice above. I hope that this is helpful and that the probiotics are helping you.

Mine (all five) came in the plastic, form-fitted blister packs = you'll need a knife to open your knife!!!! Because of this, you can't inspect it well before ya' tear it open.

I guess if you really need to, you could try a pill cutter. The pills seem to be too hard to break otherwise, & I don't see a score on them. Good luck with the pill cutter!

I find them very easy to take but I don't have too much trouble taking pills except for very large ones like fish oil. Anyway, as to size, these are smaller than your average daily vitamin (say, One-A-Day) and the capsules (not tablets) are shaped in such a way that they go down easier. To be specific, they are 3/4 of an inch long and 1/4 of an inch wide. If you have trouble taking them with water (as I do with some things), I recommend taking a good-sized bite of food, chewing it completely, then tossing one of these in your mouth and swallowing. This technique in often used in hospitals for people that have trouble swallowing and for kids, especially with soft foods like bananas or applesauce. Hope this helps! And hope you purchase them! They really do make a difference and in my opinion are on of the best broad-spectrum digestive enzymes out there.

Yes each pill is inside it's own blister, there are 6 blister pill packs on a sheet.

Unfortunately it is a blister pack. It takes a little effort, pushing on the blister and it will go through the foil. The product is worth it, ask my 110 lb. shepherd

The drop are better.Easier to do with drops,with pills you may think twice before trying the product.

Yes, it does pretty well. The rubber substance inside holds the pill in place. It helps if you try to hit the line that are on most pills. Great deal better than a knife. I like mine.
