A child resistant box (20) which is composed of a base (23), a lid (22) and a hinge (30) connecting the base (23) and lid (22) together. A latching mechanism is located on each of the two sides of the box for releasably retaining the lid (22) to the base (23). The box (20) can be moved between open, intermediate, and closed positions. The box (20) also includes a means for biasing the lid from the intermediate position toward the closed position. To open the box (20) the lid (22) is compressed to the intermediate position. In this intermediate position, the latching mechanism may be disengaged by exerting manual pressure thereon toward the center of the box (20). Once pressure is exerted simultaneously on both latching mechanisms the lid (22) is released and the biasing means moves the lid (22) at least partially toward the open position. The operation of this box (20) is particularly well-suited for the elderly. Although this child resistant box can house virtually anything, it is particularly well suited for housing a set of blister cards which include a plurality of medicaments to be taken at different times during a therapeutic regimen.
