Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to an oral medicine tablet, more particularly to an easy-to-break flat-elliptical cylindrical tablet. BACKGROUND

[0002] Some oral medicine tablets, some patients need to eat 1 / 2, 1 / 3, 1 / 4, 1 / 5 tablets, or even smaller amounts in clinical practice. However, the common oral medicine tablets on the market usually have a notch that is divided into two parts, and the notch is very shallow. It is still not easy to break the tablet with hands directly, and the accuracy of the dosage may be poor.

[0003] After searching, the Chinese utility model patent document (application number 200920243757.8) discloses a rice-shaped western medicine tablet, which includes a cylindrical tablet body. There are three notch lines on the upper and lower surfaces of the tablet body, and the three notch lines intersect at the center of the tablet. The notch lines on the upper and lower surfaces of the tablet body correspond to each other.

[0004] However, the inventors found in practice that the upper and lower notches are difficult to correspond accurately, and there will inevitably be deviations. When breaking the tablet, these slight deviations will cause uneven distribution of the dosage. Moreover, during the actual manufacture of such tablets, the number of broken tablets increases, the proportion of qualified tablets decreases, and it is difficult to promote in actual application.

[0005] In addition, some medicine cutters for cutting tablets have appeared on the market. These cutters are mostly made of blades, and the blades themselves have a certain thickness, which will cause the broken oral tablets after cutting. It is also difficult to ensure the accuracy of the dosage, and it also increases the time cost of the medical staff before each medication. If you travel or go on business, you need to carry a medicine cutter with you, which is very inconvenient.

[0006] There is an urgent need to design an oral medicine tablet that is easier to break. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0035] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this technical solution, the technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0036] The structures, proportions, and sizes illustrated in the accompanying drawings are merely for illustrative purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to size, provided they do not affect the effectiveness or purpose of this invention, should still fall within the scope of the disclosed technical content. Furthermore, terms such as "first," "third," "upper side," "lower side," "one end," and "the other end" used in this specification are merely for clarity and not intended to limit the scope of implementation. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered within the scope of this invention.

[0037] like Figs. 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an easily breakable flattened elliptical cylindrical tablet, comprising a flattened elliptical cylindrical tablet body 1, wherein the flattened elliptical cylindrical tablet body 1 is provided with at least two scoring lines 2, the depth of each scoring line 2 being one-quarter to one-half the thickness of the flattened cylindrical tablet body 1; and at least one scoring line 2 extending downward from the upper side of the flattened elliptical cylindrical tablet body 1; and at least one scoring line 2 extending upward from the lower side of the flattened elliptical cylindrical tablet body 1.

[0038] The term "flat oval-shaped tablet" generally refers to tablets with a certain thickness, usually greater than or equal to 4 mm, and a certain length, usually greater than or equal to 15 mm, resembling a flat oval block shape, similar to Pien Tze Huang. If there are no scoring marks or the scoring marks are shallow, such as when the depth of the scoring line is less than one-quarter of the tablet's thickness, it is not easy to break the tablet by hand, making it inconvenient for patients to take orally.

[0039] If shallow scoring lines are placed on the top and bottom of a flattened oval-shaped tablet, the two scoring lines are difficult to align vertically, and the tablet will inevitably tilt to some extent when broken by hand along the scoring lines, making it difficult to distribute the dosage evenly. If a scoring line with a depth of one-quarter to one-half the thickness is placed on one side of the flattened oval-shaped tablet, the greater depth makes it easier to break by hand, and the tablet will break along the direction of the scoring line, resulting in a more even dosage distribution. Of course, the deeper the scoring line, the easier it is to break, but excessively deep scoring lines will affect the overall stability of the tablet. When the depth of the scoring line exceeds 1 / 2 the thickness of the flattened oval-shaped tablet, the tablet is prone to breakage during the manufacturing process, and it is also prone to breakage under accidental external force, which is not conducive to transportation and carrying. If the oral tablet itself is relatively thin and soft, it is easy to break by hand even without scoring lines, and there is no need to set deep scoring lines.

[0040] At least one score line 2 extends downward from the upper side of the flattened elliptical cylindrical tablet body 1; and at least one score line 2 extends upward from the lower side of the flattened elliptical cylindrical tablet body 1. This arrangement of score lines makes it easier to break the tablet apart and helps maintain the overall stability of the tablet. It is also easier to transport and carry than placing the score lines on the same side of the flattened elliptical cylindrical tablet body 1.

[0041] When there are two scoring lines 2, including a first scoring line 21 and a second scoring line 22; the first scoring line 21 can be located in the middle of the flattened elliptical cylindrical tablet body 1 and extend downward from the upper side of the flattened elliptical cylindrical tablet 1; and the second scoring line 22 can be located at 1 / 4 of the distance from the end of the flattened elliptical cylindrical tablet body 1 and extend upward from the lower side of the flattened elliptical cylindrical tablet 1. With this arrangement, the flattened elliptical tablet 1 can be easily broken into 1 / 2 or 1 / 4 portions by hand.

[0042] When there are two score lines 2, the positions of the score lines can be changed. The first score line 21 can be located at 1 / 3 of the distance from one end of the flattened elliptical cylindrical tablet body 1 and extend downward from the upper side of the flattened elliptical cylindrical tablet 1; and the second score line 22 can be located at 1 / 3 of the distance from the other end of the flattened elliptical cylindrical tablet body 1 and extend upward from the lower side of the flattened elliptical cylindrical tablet 1. In this case, the tablet can be easily broken into 1 / 3 portions evenly.

[0043] Furthermore, when there are three scoring lines 2, including a first scoring line 21, a second scoring line 22, and a third scoring line 23; the first scoring line 21 is located at one-quarter of the length of the flattened elliptical cylindrical tablet body 1; the second scoring line 22 is located in the middle of the flattened elliptical cylindrical tablet body 1; and the third scoring line 23 is located at one-quarter of the length of the length of the flattened elliptical cylindrical tablet body 1 at the other end. In this case, the tablet can be easily and evenly broken into quarter portions.

[0044] When there are three scoring lines 2, it is preferable that the scoring lines at both ends of the flattened elliptical cylindrical tablet body 1 are located on the opposite side of the scoring line at the middle position of the flattened elliptical cylindrical tablet body 1. That is, if the scoring lines at both ends of the flattened elliptical cylindrical tablet body 1 extend from the top side of the tablet towards the interior, then the scoring line at the middle position extends from the bottom side towards the interior. Conversely, if the scoring lines at both ends of the flattened elliptical cylindrical tablet body 1 extend from the bottom side towards the interior, then the scoring line at the middle position extends from the top side towards the interior. This symmetrical arrangement of the scoring lines at both ends relative to the middle scoring line, and the arrangement of the scoring lines at both ends and the middle scoring line from the top / bottom sides respectively, can maximize the balance of force on the tablet, maintain the overall stability of the tablet, and prevent it from breaking easily when accidentally subjected to force during transportation and carrying.

[0045] The width of the scoring line 2 is set between 1-3 mm. This satisfies the requirement that the elliptical cylindrical tablets are easy to break, while also effectively controlling the overall stability of the tablets to prevent them from breaking due to accidental slight contact, thus facilitating transportation and carrying. In practice, 2 mm is preferred for better results.

[0046] The scoring line 2 is V-shaped, wider on the side facing the opening and narrower on the side extending into the flattened elliptical cylindrical tablet body 1. The V-shaped scoring makes the tablet easier to break. Furthermore, the included angle of the V-shaped scoring can be set to greater than or equal to 30°.

[0047] Of course, as needed, four, five, or even more scoring lines can be set on the tablet to easily divide it into five, six, or even more equal parts. This arrangement is naturally within the scope of the present invention.

[0048] Because the score lines are deep, they themselves can affect the dosage distribution of the tablet. Therefore, the space occupied by the score lines can be taken into account before tablet preparation, so that when the tablet is broken open by hand along the score lines, the dosage distribution can be kept uniform.

[0049] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above illustratively. This description is not restrictive, and the figures shown are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. If any person skilled in the art, inspired by this description, designs a similar structure to the present invention without departing from its inventive spirit, such design shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
