A tamper proof product dispenser for a plurality of product units of a solid dosage product, the dispenser comprising: a dispensing assembly comprising a housing having an upper and a lower wall for holding and dispensing the product; the upper wall having an outer face and a plurality of outlets, where each outlet is in its use associated with a product unit which is retained between the upper and lower wall and proximate a respective outlet; an outer cover for covering at least the outer face to thereby prevent access to the product stored within the dispenser; and tamper indication means for indicating a prior displacement of the outer cover, the dispensing assembly includes ejection means located within the dispensing assembly for ejecting the product units therefrom, the ejection means comprising at least one slide mechanism having an actuation arm received between the upper and lower wall which is slidably retained therebetween and upon which is slidably mounted a rider member adapted to eject the product; and the actuation arm being movable to be reciprocal within the housing, whereby motion of the actuation arm in one direction moves the rider member into an engagement with a product unit such that the solid dosage product is urged out of the dispensing assembly to thereby dispense the product therefrom and on motion of the actuation arm in another direction the rider remains stationary within the housing.
