Problems solved by technology

Many active pharmaceutical agents (APAs) are housed in either colored glass containers, or in opaque plastic containers, which may present difficulties to the user in determining the level of APA compound contained therein.
This is especially problematic when the composition containing the APA is a light or clear colored liquid, which may be difficult to see when housed in a clear container.
In particular, certain APA containing compositions may experience lessened efficacy, increased degradation products or even a complete loss of efficacy, after exposure to ultraviolet rays from light.

Embodiment Construction

[0015]With reference to the figures, several embodiments of the present invention are directed to a container, which may be used to house liquids, including chemical compounds, and in particular APA-containing compositions. Any APA-containing composition may be housed in the container, and in particular, the APA-containing compositions may include APAs in liquid form. Further, the APA-containing compositions may include light or dark colored compounds, or substantially transparent compounds. The APA-containing composition may be a photosensitive compound. As used herein, the term “photosensitive” may include any composition that reacts or degrades in the presence of light, and in particular may include compounds that react in the presence of ultraviolet rays. The term “photosensitive” is not limited to compounds that become completely ineffective in the presence of light, and may include compounds that only slightly react and / or lose effectiveness after exposure to light.

Abstract

Several embodiments of the invention provide a container (10) for housing a composition comprising at least one active pharmaceutical agent, the container including an interior (60) for housing the composition and a viewing window (30) allowing the user to view the interior region from the outside of the container. In some embodiments, the container is a multi-layered wall. In other aspects, the container (200) includes a main body portion (210) and a base portion (230), the base portion having a tapered bottom (235), and the main body portion having a viewing window (220) to allow viewing of the interior of the container from the outside thereof.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to containers for housing compositions, such as compositions containing active pharmaceutical agents (APAs) and the like.BACKGROUND[0002]Certain drug products that contain compositions with active pharmaceutical agents, such as those in liquid or powder form, may be stored in containers clear, white or opaque containers. Desirably, the user of the drug product is able to view the contents of the interior of the container to determine amount remaining and whether there is enough of the composition to administer a dosage. Many active pharmaceutical agents (APAs) are housed in either colored glass containers, or in opaque plastic containers, which may present difficulties to the user in determining the level of APA compound contained therein. This is especially problematic when the composition containing the APA is a light or clear colored liquid, which may be difficult to see when housed in a clear container.[0003]Storing APA c...
