I have rheumatoid arthritis which makes it almost impossible for me to push the tablet through the blister pack. Considering what this medicine is for, it should be packaged in an easy open bottle!! Very poor design!!
Alendronate - Why is it packaged in a blister pack?

You can cut around the shape of the tablet on the flat foil side. A small sharp point gets through it with ease (my mom has similar problems).
