A package made of cardboard, includes a sleeve and an insert, the sleeve being provided with at least one catch tab located on the inside of the sleeve and provided with at least one projection, so that the catch tab forms an angle with the upper wall of the sleeve. At least one locking tab is provided on the insert, which is arranged so as to be at least in part inserted between the catch tab and the upper wall. At least one operating tab is provided, in addition to which the sleeve is provided with at least one cutout next to the operating tab, the operating tab being arranged so as to be pressed by a user against the locking tab, movement of the insert in the sliding direction (S) towards the opening being made possible.

A method of preparing a macromolecule deterrent surface on a pharmaceutical package. In particular, the present invention relates to a method of preparing a protein deterrent surface on a pharmaceutical package by applying a coating or coatings directly to the pharmaceutical package that reduces the adsorption of proteins onto pharmaceutical packaging while not affecting the activity of the protein solution contained.

A medication dispensing system including a filling apparatus, a dispensing apparatus and a refillable canister having a plurality of dosage compartments. The canister may be releasably mountable on the filling apparatus and the dispensing apparatus. The canister may further includes a tamper-prevention apparatus adapted to prevent unauthorized access to the canister. The medication dispensing system may also include a control apparatus that controls filling of medication into and egress of medication out of the dosage compartments.

The present invention provides a container system for releasably storing a substance. The container system includes a vial having a sample storage chamber and a piercing member for piercing a membrane in the lid, which membrane seals a substance within a reservoir in the lid until the membrane is pierced by the piercing member. The container system optionally includes a funnel. There is also provided a method and kit for use of such a container system.

A medicament dispenser comprises a housing having opposing first and second walls. A connecting assembly is associated with at least one of the first and second walls to facilitate connection of the first and second walls to one another. A blister pack containing the medicament is pivotally connected to the connecting assembly so as to be rotatable about the connecting assembly and about an axis of rotation substantially orthogonal to the first and second walls to facilitate movement of the blister pack from: i) a closed position in which the blister pack is substantially enclosed within the housing; and ii) an open position in which the blister pack is at least partially rotated from the housing.

The present invention relates to a new pharmaceutical blister with reduced permeability to water vapor and gas. It is proposed according to the invention to coat conventional blisters with a silicon oxide-containing functional layer to protect against gases, water vapor and organic molecules.

A portable medication cartridge allows for both manual and automated dispensing of tablets or capsules of virtually all sizes through a radial dispensing apparatus. The cartridge may be sealed and encoded with medication and patient identification. A microprocessor controlled medication dispensing apparatus includes a cartridge magazine capable of holding a plurality of cartridges for the same or different patients. The portable medication dispensing apparatus and method detects patient identification data and activates a radial dispensing medication cartridge in response to verification of patient identification data. The radial dispensing medication cartridge may include, for example, a tablet carrier tape having a plurality of tablet packets with at least a partially open side. The tablet carrier tape accommodates different sizes and types of tablets or capsules and is sealed with a cover tape having an identification of the tablets. The cover tape is removed after the carrier tape is inserted into the dispensing medication cartridge. The medication is sequentially advanced and allowed to radially dispense through the open side of the tablet carrier tape from the medication cartridge.

A package includes a slide card that is received in an outer sleeve having a false end wall. The false end wall extends between a top wall and a bottom wall to enhance the structural integrity of the outer sleeve. The false end wall provides child resistance in that it prevents a user from manipulating the outer sleeve to inadvertently disengage a locking feature that lockably retains a slide card in the outer sleeve. The false end wall also prevents a user from accessing the slide card through an opening that is created by removing an end wall.

Pharmaceutical compositions in the form of ready-to-use preparations of gemcitabine in aqueous solutions in a glass containers having specified dimensional relationships demonstrate long shelf life over a wide range of solution pH values. The ratio of the surface area of the container wetted by the solution to the volume of the solution, expressed in cm² to cm³, is less than 3.4.

A nebule comprising at least one identification marker or label can be coupled an aerosol generator. The identification marker can be sensed by a sensing device on the aerosol generator so as to identify the liquid in the nebule to the controller of the aerosol generator. The controller of the aerosol generator can control the aerosol generator based on the information read from the identification marker.

A child-resistant and senior-friendly unit dose package has a hollow container body, an internal divider, and at least first and second separate trays each carrying a plurality of tablets or like items for being dispensed from the container body. The container body has an end with an opening, and each tray can be slid to a retracted position in which the tray is located within the container body and a dispensing position in which the tray extends at least partially through the opening of the container body. The package includes a separate cap removably securable to the container body to seal the opening and prevent access to the trays. Multiple simultaneous manipulations are required to remove the cap from the container body thereby providing a child-resistant connection. A method of assembling a package with at least two separate blister cards and a divider is also disclosed.

The present invention provides a drug solution filling plastic ampoule having gas, steam and light ray barrier properties, a drug permeation preventing capability and an absorption/adsorption preventing capability, and a production method for the plastic ampoule. The drug solution filling plastic ampoule (10) according to the present invention includes a container body (11), a fusion-bonded portion (13) which seals a mouth (12) of the container body, and a wrench-off holder tab (14) connected to the fusion-bonded portion. The ampoule (10) is formed from a parison including two or more layers, at least one of which is a functional layer having at least one characteristic property selected from the group consisting of a gas permeation preventing capability, a steam permeation preventing capability, a light ray permeation preventing capability, a drug permeation preventing capability and a drug absorption/adsorption preventing capability. That is, the parison is extruded from a multilayer blow forming die, and then held between lower split mold pieces to be formed into the container body (11). After a drug solution (15) is filled in the container body (11), the mouth (12) is held between upper split mold pieces to form the fusion-bonded portion (13) and the holder tab (14). Thus, the plastic ampoule is provided.

The present invention relates to solid dosage forms of cannabinoid pharmaceutical formulations comprising a solvated cannabinoid for buccal or sublingual administration, and methods of making and using the same.
