Extremely difficult to get the tiny pills out of the blister pack. After so many similar complaints, you would think the company would fix this issue! Took the pills for a day with no relief.

why don't you wrap your blister packs in stainless steel. Then you would make them totally inaccessible. I often cut all the way around a blister and still can't get the capsule out. What is wrong with you people?

Loperamide treats my diarrhea if I can open the blister pack. That requires very small sharp scissors which I do not carry with me. There needs to be functional packaging which this is not!

Bring back the bottle. I'd say destroy the current packaging but its destruction proof. In a hurry? Take an Imodium. Whoops, nope, need to find TIN SCISSORS to open the darn package.

The manufacturer of IMODIUM® A-D Gel caplets are total idiots for designing a packaging like this for sick people, who are in distress, to try to open. Definitely moving to different company.

Absolute worst packaging I've ever seen. Will never buy this product again! Wife cut her finger trying to open blister pack. I tried myself and I'm sure glad it wasn't an emergency! You people obviously never use or even try your own products! There are other alternatives!

When you're about to burst and just want to pop an Imodium A-D coz you know it's a fast acting relief but alas their packaging will let you suffer through cold sweats and abdominal pain first before you can release that little tablet. Please make it better. I don't want to soil my pants trying to get to your medication.

Extremely difficult to open packaging

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although it works great, the packaging makes it extremely difficult to open. I’ve had other medications with similar packaging that does not requiring cutting with scissors to open it. I guess that’s safer when small children are around, but really inconvenient for seniors.( The scissors I have to leave out to open it would be dangerous to children as well).

The way these are packaged it is almost impossible for the elderly population to use. Utterly ridiculous to get it torn without scissors and it is still difficult. Why would you do that? Try something that is easier.

The product works, obviously. My frustration is with the blister packs. Getting at the tablets requires eyeglasses, scissors, and much patience to finally cut through the plastic and release the pill. Why on earth is this necessary?

This product worked exactly as expected. I was very pleased. Only complaint is that you have to have a good pair of scissors to get the pill out.
