How to Open a Child Proof Pill Container

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Place the container on a flat surface.

   This will ensure you get a good, even grip on the container.
2. 2

   Step 2: Check the label to determine what type of child-proofing is on the container.

   There are several possible types, including:
   Push and turn down
   - the lid will have an arrow pointing down or a label that says Push.
   
   Squeeze the sides and turn
   - the lid will have grooves around the lid to help you squeeze and turn it easily.
   
   Push down the tab and turn
   - the lid will have a small raised tab that says Push on it and possibly arrows to indicate a turning motion.
   
   Line up the arrows
   - the lid will have an arrow pointing downward and another arrow on the lip of the container pointing upward. , Because each child proof container has it's own particular locking mechanism, it's important to use the right motions to open it.
   
   If you are not mobile enough to open the lid without an additional method, disregard this step.
   
   Push and turn down
   - push the lid downward and push it until it rotates and opens.
   
   Squeeze the sides and turn
   - use the grooves around the lid to get a good grip on it, then squeeze and turn the lid at the same time until it opens.
   
   Push down the tab and turn
   - use your palm to push down the tab and turn the lid until it opens.
   
   Line up the arrows
   - rotate the lid until the arrow on the lid is in line with the arrow on the lip of the container.
   
   Then, lift the lid off the container.
