The store-brand Sudafed sold by CVS used to have simple foil backing and it was easy to push the pills through. A few months ago the packaging changed. There is now an additional layer of paper on top of the foil and it is very difficult to push the pills through, even though there is nothing wrong with my hands. I've tried to peel off the paper backing but that doesn't work reliably; usually it just shreds. Tried to cut it open with nail scissors but ended up damaging the pill.

I've run into this problem with non-prescription antihistamines too, but with those it's usually possible to buy a larger quantity that comes in a bottle. Sudafed doesn't seem to be available in bottles.
