Abstract: The invention is a child resistant and easy to use blister package for containing a solid medicament that utilizes a dual compartment cavity assist mechanism as an opening feature. The multi-section blister card package has an opening feature comprising a pre-formed dual compartment cavity in the blister container sheet which is adjacent to the cavity containing the product and a corresponding weakened area such as perforation or score in the backing closure sheet in the area covering the dual compartment cavity. The blister is opened by applying pressure on the dual compartment cavity at the underside of the backing score line. The pre-formed second cavity assists in forming a pull tab on the opposite side of the blister, allowing for easy access to separate and pull the backing material towards the product cavity and thus exposing the product cavity for product removal.
