Hey, I tried it a little differently last night....if you just push at the very

top of the pill, it might lever well and pop through the foil easier. Definitely

don't push in the middle of the pill.....that is like trying to break a raw egg

in a closed hand. But this am, when I did the same thing, it was crushing the

pill.......so then I pushed at the very bottom and it came out.

Lottie, I could never be upset with you. I just did not want anyone to think I

knew how to deal with eczema, because I have no experience with that. And the

big significance was that I actually got rid (by some treatment) of a drug

caused allergic skin reaction....that is what amazed Dr. Druker....not using

cortisone, etc......but by an Eastern medicine type treatment. This was my

example when you were asking about success with alternative medicine.

Have a great day.

i open the pills this way and I do not have a problem although I do agree

they need to make it easier for us.

I push on the pill and the little door opens on the back then i push the

door open and out falls the pill.

it took me awhile to figure this out. why cant they just come in a bottle

like most pills!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Sharon,

I am guessing that Tasigna might be very sensitive to moisture and that is why

they are foil sealed? I do also keep a few pills in a container in my purse in

case I am away when I need to take one...so they are not in foil.

It's funny that the stupid packaging is a side effect! LOL

I usually use my nail and push toward the pill (to break the paper connect)

then push on the pill a little to lift the paper up. I then remove the

paper, THEN push the pills through. I seem to find those darn paper ovals

everywhere. J

Thanks for the laugh Tammy, I enjoyed your post.

Novartis probably paid someone a bundle to come up with this packaging and here

we are dissing it.
