The child resistant multiple dosage blister pack dispenser includes a main housing bottom component for supporting and securing a blister pack. The bottom component has a first spring lock member for interaction with a second spring lock member located on a top component. One of the first and second spring lock members has a rest position, being a top component locking position to prevent tablet dispensing sliding movement of the top component, and a stressed position, being a top component unlocking position to permit sliding movement of the top component. The bottom component has a plurality of ones of either male or female or both male and female tab lock elements, forming lock sets with its counterpart, each lock set having a different opening position from all other lock sets. The main housing top component is slideably mounted on the bottom component with a plurality of tabs, each having a male or female lock element corresponding to the ones on the bottom component. The tabs have pull-up capability, such that when the spring lock member is in the stressed position and the top component has been moved forward, a first tab may be removed and one dosage unit exposed for removal. The steps are repeated to access each additional dosage.
