Foil back packaging with paper overlay.

The paper has to be removed before you push the pill through the foil.

There isn't a little tap to pull and folding the corner does not work.

Tell me there's a better way before I take them to the grinder.

Use scissors and cut it to the L shaped part since it has a tiny airspace to grab onto, and peel off the back?

But seriously, the best thing I have found to open those is a sharp pair of kitchen shears.

Thanks! That works! Just a big @#$ pain just to get a pill

The place that designs this stuff must have a liberal weed policy at work.

I used to have that struggle with Prilosec.  Fortunately the pills were rigid enough that I just pushed really hard and it popped the paper and foil before it broke the pill.

The worst are trying to get at the anti diarrhea pills ... I think the packaging designers go out of their way to make those tiny buggers extra difficult to liberate from their bubble pack homes.
