Comment:
To get the pill out of package is difficult. I didn't go for my blood work, so don't know if it is really working. I have been taking pills twice a day to treat my low blood count. It seems working slowly but still feels tired. I am somewhat satisfied until I see my doctor again.

Comment:
The pills work great, but with my arthritis, I cannot open the blister packs myself. Other pills such as Protonix have thin aluminum bases which can easily be pushed through, and others such as Crestor come in a bottle with a dessicant capsule.
