Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the structural field of medicine bottles, and in particular relates to a medicine bottle structure for storing micro tablets. Background Art

[0002] Oral solid preparations cannot meet the needs of special populations and high-value specialty drugs for drug delivery due to the disadvantages of difficulty in swallowing and the inability to finely adjust fixed doses. As a new trend in solid dosage form design, the increasing maturity of mini tablets may change the future of oral preparations and enable them to occupy a place in the field of high-value drugs.

[0003] Mini-tablets refer to miniature tablets that are pressed by a special tablet press, generally with a diameter of less than 3 mm. The World Health Organization (WHO) Expert Committee on Pharmaceutical Preparation Specifications describes the diameter of mini-tablets as no more than 4 mm. Due to the small size of mini-tablets, the compliance problem of patients with dysphagia is solved, and they are particularly suitable for children and the elderly. In recent years, there have been an increasing number of research reports on mini-tablets, and some products have been launched on the market, which also shows that mini-tablets are a new trend in the research and development of solid preparations.

[0004] However, in the prior art, the packaging materials associated with micro-tablets have not "kept pace", but have continued to use packaging materials for traditional oral preparations. Traditional solid preparations have not been optimized for the characteristics of the preparations. Due to the particularity of micro-tablets, when pouring them out of the medicine bottle for administration, an excess amount is often poured onto the hands or the table. After taking the dose, the excess micro-tablets are put back into the medicine bottle, which can easily cause contamination in the long run and affect the stability of the drug. If the patient taking the drug is an elderly person, the drug-taking process is even more volatile.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design a special structure that can limit the amount of medicine discharged during administration within a certain range to improve the usage dilemma in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0006] In response to the above problems, the inventor originally planned to reserve a drug outlet at the mouth of the bottle to reduce the amount of micro-tablets that pass through at a time, so as to control the amount of drugs that can be discharged. However, in actual experiments, it was found that although the size of the drug outlet was limited, the number of micro-tablets discharged each time the drug was administered was still 10-20 tablets, which did not fundamentally improve the drug discharge problem. Through continuous research and development, the inventor added a blocking plate at the mouth of the bottle to control the number of drugs that can be discharged at a time. In the later stage of the experiment, when the remaining tablets in the medicine bottle were less than one-fifth of the total, it would be difficult to discharge the medicine. After continuous attempts by the inventor, it was found that an independent counterweight area could be added to a specific part of the bottle to ensure that when the remaining amount of micro-tablets in the medicine bottle was less than one-fifth of the total, they could still pass through the blocking plate smoothly.

[0070] 1. First unscrew the bottle cap from the bottle mouth.

[0071] 2. Rotate the bottle to a nearly horizontal position.

[0072] 3. Shake the bottle to make the mini tablets pop out of the bottle.

[0073]

[0074] Conclusion: Comparative Example 1 shows that when traditional medicine bottles are used to store mini tablets, the dosage cannot be effectively controlled, which is not conducive to daily use.

[0075] Comparative Example 2 - Usage of a mini-tablet medicine bottle without the counterweight area A (11) and the counterweight area B (15) (when the amount of stored medicine accounts for four fifths or more of the total amount).

[0076] 1. First, unscrew the bottle cap (50) from the bottle mouth (5).

[0077] 2. Rotate the bottle body (1) until the medicine outlet (30) in the bottle mouth (5) is at a vertical angle of about 30 degrees to the horizontal tabletop.

[0078] 3. Shake the medicine bottle, and the mini tablets can pass through the blocking piece (22) and pass through the medicine outlet.

[0079] Comparative Example 3 - Usage of a mini-tablet medicine bottle without counterweight area A (11) and counterweight area B (15) (when the amount of stored medicine accounts for less than four-fifths and more than one-fifth of the total amount).

[0080] 1. First, unscrew the bottle cap (50) from the bottle mouth (5).

[0081] 2. Rotate the bottle body (1) until the medicine outlet (30) in the bottle mouth (5) is at a vertical angle of about 30 degrees to the horizontal tabletop.

[0082] 3. Shake the medicine bottle slightly, and the mini tablets can pass through the blocking piece (22) and pass through the medicine outlet.

[0083] Comparative Example 4 - Usage of a mini-tablet medicine bottle without counterweight area A (11) and counterweight area B (15) (when the amount of stored medicine accounts for one fifth or less of the total amount).

[0084] 1. First, unscrew the bottle cap (50) from the bottle mouth (5).

[0085] 2. Rotate the bottle body (1) until the medicine outlet (30) in the bottle mouth (5) is at a vertical angle of about 30 degrees to the horizontal tabletop.

[0086] 3. Shake the medicine bottle vigorously, and the mini tablets can pass through the blocking piece (22) and pass through the medicine outlet.

[0087] Example 6 - Statistics of the amount of medicine discharged from a mini-tablet medicine bottle when it is used without the counterweight area A (11) and the counterweight area B (15).

[0088]

[0089] Conclusion: It can be seen from Comparative Examples 2, 3, 4, and Example 6 that when the amount of stored medicine accounts for more than one fifth of the total amount, the use of the mini-tablet medicine bottle without the counterweight area A (11) and the counterweight area B (15) meets expectations, but when the amount of stored medicine accounts for one fifth or less of the total amount, the amount of medicine output cannot be effectively controlled. Therefore, the use of the counterweight area A (11), the counterweight area B (15) and their related counterweights a (12) and counterweights b (16) is reasonable and important.
