Abstract: A pill dispenser of the type having a plastic bubble containing each pill with frangible foil backing, has an improved construction enabling easier release of the pill through the foil. Each clear plastic bubble includes a raised circular blister at its top, on an otherwise generally planar plateau area. When the pill is forced out by the finger or thumb of the user, the raised blister is pushed inside out and assists in providing the required depth and force to push the pill out through the foil.

Abstract: A medication-dispensing card having a plurality of sealed compartments for holding single doses of medication. An inner pack, which provides a moisture and oxygen barrier to preserve the medication, comprises a blister sheet having a plurality of pockets for receiving the individual doses and a frangible lidding sheet laminated to the blister sheet for sealing the pockets. The inner pack is supported between front and back panels which are fastened to each other but not to the inner pack. The panels form a relatively rigid card which may be stored in the file drawer of a mobile medication cart. The structure allows unused medication in the inner pack to be recovered from the card without breaking the seal of an individual compartment permitting reuse. The blister sheet of the card is specially adapted so that the sheets may be stacked without adjacent sheets adhering to each other.
