A unique, patented blistercard system that provides high levels of child-resistance while maintaining ease of use for senior citizens is now offered by Brecon Pharmaceuticals.

Developed by Brecon's US-based global joint-venture partner, ProClinical Inc, the Pick and Peel™ system works by sealing the back of each individual blister pocket with a peel away tab. Once this is removed, the dose form can then be pushed through from the reverse side as with a conventional blister pack. A variety of shapes and sizes are available for both tablets and capsules.

Key elements of the system include:

• Individually sealed blister pockets
• Ability to remove the child-resistant element for senior citizen use without compromising the packaging
• Maintenance of the stability and bioavailability of product
• Compactness - package size not affected
• Compatibility with all current films and foils
• Ability to be incorporated into the pack before or after the blisters are filled
