Paracetamol capsules, Grrrrrrr!
Has anyone else noticed that these have now had the foil that you used to push them through, replaced with a foil/plasticfilm combination? And tyhat it's now almost impossible to push a capsule out without breaking it? Unless you slit the foil/film with a thumbnail first, that is?
Is this yet another "childproof" measure?

I have noticed this too, the tablets are impossible to pop through the new silver paper rather than the foil.

I thought it was a peel back too as some of the tablets I have can come in either foil or that plastic/foil combo. I prefer the foil as the plastic does annoy me.

It pisses me off they put caffiene in some of them nowdays.
I took a few when I had a cold a few weeks back and wondered why I couldn't sleep etc!
Didn't realise they contained caffeine until I checked the box.

I use Co-Dydramol and the tablet packs are exactly the same. Very irritating.
