Am I the only one who is having trouble removing the incevik from the blister pak?

Is there a trick to getting those purple pills out of the blister paks?  
For some reason I am having difficulty removing them.
Just wondering if it’s only me…

I had a b it of trouble at the beginning, being that my fingers are a little bit arthritic, but now I've got the hang of it using the perforations and the little flap... no worries now... you can always use scissors to cut the perforations.  I did that at the beginning, too.  

Good luck... :)

I can get the pills out of the blister pack.  I have trouble getting the perforation to tear between doses.  I have to fold it back and forth several times and then tear from the foil corner.

thanks for the suggestions.  I also take the ribaspere and that is a pain too.  I had trouble removing the needle cap from the needle, and the entire needle came off and fell onto the floor.  Guess I am not too good at handling these drugs.  ginger.

Fold the corner toward the foil and they seperate and you can peel it apart

I use a pen to puncture the blister pack at the edges (several punctures along two sides). Then I can peel the paper off. I never noticed the flap. I will try that when I take my next dose.

check the corner, it has a small flap to grab on and pull.

I hate the blister packs.  I am taking ribaspheres and took all of them out of the blister packs last night and put them in pill organizers for my week starting today.  I took my Victreliss out of the indviual daily bottle and put those in my pill organizers too.  I figure, the more anemic I get, the harder it is going to be.
