Hello how may I help you? hello I need help with opening a medicine bottle. What seems to be the issue? It's got some sort of childproof so I don't know how to open it. Try pressing down on the top while turning I know it's not that type, I have others like that but this one is a different design. You might need to press on both sides while turning That's my mouthwash bottle. Right, like that. this pill bottle is different than those 2 types. Does it have instructions on it? yes there is writing on the top but it's small and I have my glasses being repaired right now so I can't read small print. You could try just slamming it against a hard surface a bit no I'm afraid that might break some of the pills. I'll take it to the pharmacy Monday for instructions. Thank you. You're welcome.
