Benefits of technology
The present invention is a method for dispensing solid dosage forms using a resealable container and lid assembly. The container has an opening with an elastomeric seal and the lid has a plug that engages the seal to create a tight seal. The method involves applying pressure to the lid to seal the opening and then removing the pressure to allow the solid dosage form to be dispensed. The invention provides a convenient and effective way to dispense solid dosage forms while maintaining a tight seal to prevent moisture from entering.
Problems solved by technology
Diagnostic test strips and solid dosage forms often are moisture sensitive and need to be stored in containers that protect them from ambient moisture that they may be exposed to during both storage and use.
