    (54) Container for tablets


    (57) A tablet container (10) having a cover (11) and sliding tray (12) is used for dispensing birth control tablets for either a twenty-one-day or twenty-eight-day cycle. Normally, the tray (12) does not slide completely out of the cover (11) and is stabilized with respect thereto when open. The case reĀ­sembles a cosmetic compact and is reuseable in that once birth control tablets contained in a blister pack (37) are used up, a new blister pack may easily be inserted.
