Description

  The present invention relates to a package for a drug sheet capable of containing a drug sheet containing a drug.

  Many medicines prescribed as drugs for oral administration are delivered to sick people (users of medicines) by a PTP (Press Through Package) sheet in which a required number of medicines are enclosed. In the PTP sheet, one drug is enclosed in each pocket (also referred to as "blister"). The sick person takes out as many medicines as needed for one dose, taking out the pockets and taking the taken out medicines.

  Such a PTP-type drug sheet is convenient, and a sick person who can lead daily life often takes a drug at home. However, some prescription drugs brought into the home may include drugs with high risk of side effects, such as anticancer drugs. For such dangerous drugs, it is necessary to manage with care, such as storing the drug sheet in a special place, etc., so that children and infants will not be accidentally removed or accidentally swallowed. is there.

In the past, packages and devices have been proposed in which measures are taken so that children and the like can not easily take out medicines.
For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a blister pack integrally provided with a protective panel facing the foil surface (surface on the side from which the drug is taken out) of the drug sheet. The protective panel comprises an arrangement of holes substantially equal to the arrangement of pockets containing the drug, the first position wherein the holes are partially offset from the pockets, and the holes aligned with the pockets It is possible to slide between the two positions. The drug sheet is biased to the first position by a spring web formed between the drug sheet and the protective panel.

  Further, for example, the device for holding a blister pack described in Patent Document 2 includes a base portion in which openings corresponding to a plurality of pockets are formed and arranged in a housing that accommodates the blister pack, and the blister pack is It is movable between a first position in which the pocket and the opening of the base member are offset, and a second position in which the pocket and the opening are aligned. Also, the device of Patent Document 2 is provided with a locking mechanism for locking the pocket in the first position, and further moves from the locking position for locking the blister pack in the first position to the second position. An operating means is provided which is operable to a possible non-locking position.

  A plurality of preferred embodiments of the pharmaceutical sheet package according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view of a package 10 for a drug sheet according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a developed view of the package 10. Furthermore, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the package 10 when it is cut at the III-III position of FIG.

  The package 10 is formed of, for example, one sheet-like formed body shown in the developed view of FIG. Such a sheet-like molded product is integrally formed of a flexible (flexible elastic) thermoplastic transparent resin sheet. As an example of the sheet-like molded object (transparent resin sheet) which is a main body of a package, for example, A-PET having a sheet thickness of 0.1 to 1.0 mm (preferably 0.25 to 0.8 mm) It can be used. The tensile elastic modulus which shows the mechanical property of the sheet-like molded object made as an experiment is 2020 Mpa (sheet thickness 0.3 mm, ISO527-3: 2012 (measured value measured by JIS (JIS K 7127) test method)).

  The package 10 shown in FIG. 1 as a finished product is processed by processing the sheet-like compact shown in the developed view of FIG. 2 by an appropriate press molding method (vacuum molding or thermoforming etc.) and bending a predetermined location It is formed. That is, the package 10 has the base sheet 11 having the surface 11a opposed to the foil surface (the surface on the side for taking out the drug) of the drug sheet 50, and the width direction of the base sheet 11 (horizontal direction in FIGS. 1 and 2) The first fold-back portions 12 and 13 are folded back at both ends, and the medicine sheet 50 is slidably held at both sides thereof. In addition, the package 10 is a stopper at one end (upper end in FIGS. 1 and 2) where the first folded portions 12 and 13 are not formed in the longitudinal direction (that is, the sliding direction) of the base sheet 11. A second fold back portion 14 is formed as a portion.

Here, a plurality of pockets 51a, 51b, 52a, 52b,... Are generally arranged in the medicine sheet 50 packaged by the package 10 of the present embodiment. In the example of FIG. 4, a total of 10 pockets of 2 × 5 are shown. Further, a plurality of slits (perforations) 57, 57,... Are formed at equal intervals so as to cross the medicine sheet 50. In the medicine sheet 50, the cuts by the slits 57, 57, ... divide the pockets 51a, 51b, 52a, 52b, ..., 55a, 55b in a row.
In the present specification, the “row” of the pockets refers to an arrangement of one or more pockets separated by the slits 57, 57,. According to this definition, it can be said that in the drug sheet 50 of FIG. 4, five rows of two pockets are arranged in each row.

  Moreover, the slide direction (longitudinal direction) of the drug sheet 50 packaged in the package 10, and the row direction of the pockets 51a, 51b, 52a, 52b, ..., 55a, 55b and the slits 57, 57, ... Can be said to be in agreement. In addition, the pharmaceutical sheet package of the present invention can handle a pharmaceutical sheet in which a slit is not formed. However, even in such a drug sheet, the “pocket row direction” can be interpreted as the “sliding direction” of the drug sheet.

  In the base sheet 11, holes 15 a and 15 b for taking out the medicine to the outside are formed corresponding to one row of the pockets formed in the medicine sheet 50. For example, in a package 10 for packaging a drug sheet 50 (see, for example, FIG. 4) in which two pockets are formed in one row, two holes 15a and 15b are formed as shown in FIG. Also, "corresponding to one row of pockets" means that the number of pockets in one row of medicine sheet 50 and the number of holes are not only the same, but also the spacing between pockets and holes formed in one row Are identical, and the diameter of the hole is larger than the diameter of the drug and formed to have substantially the same size as the diameter of the pocket so that the drug can be taken out through the hole.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, according to the package 10 of the present embodiment, the positions of the holes 15a and 15b in the longitudinal direction of the base sheet 11 are such that one end portion of the medicine sheet 50 is a stopper portion (folded portion 14). When the end position is in contact, the other end of the medicine sheet 50 is formed at a position where all or part of the holes 15a and 15b is closed. In this position, one end portion of the medicine sheet 50 enters between the base sheet 11 and the turnback portion 14 and regulates the medicine sheet 50 from sliding outward than that position. This can prevent the medicine sheet 50 from being removed carelessly from the package 10. Further, since the medicine can be taken out by sliding operation of the medicine sheet 50 only in one direction, the operability for taking out the medicine by the user is simplified and made good.

  Further, according to the package 10 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the ribs 24a, 24b protruding from the surface 11a of the base sheet 11 to the medicine sheet side along the outer edges of the individual holes 15a, 15b. (A recessed groove when viewed from the back side) is formed. Such ribs 24a and 24b can increase the rigidity around the holes 15a and 15b, and in particular, the base sheet 11 may be bent or deformed even if a force is applied in the direction to crush the pocket for taking out the medicine. The amount can be kept small.

  The base sheet 11 has a width slightly larger than the width direction width of the medicine sheet 50 to be packaged. At both ends in the width direction of the base sheet 11, first folded portions 12, 13 are turned toward the pocket surface of the drug sheet 50 (surface opposite to the foil surface on which the blister for containing the drug is formed). It is formed. The fold lines 12a, 13a separating the face 11a of the base sheet 11 and the first folds 12, 13 are slightly thinner than the longitudinal direction of the drug sheet 50, such as a slotted slit or some suitable It consists of perforations with a combination of penetration and non-penetration at pitch. As a result, when a certain external force is applied to the folded portions 12, 13, the folded portions 12, 13 can be easily folded inward along the folding lines 12a, 13a. In the state where the medicine sheet 50 is packaged in the package 10, the both sides of the medicine sheet 50 are held by the folded portions 12, 13. Thereby, the medicine sheet 50 is slidably held in the package 10 along the longitudinal direction of the folded back portions 12 and 13.

  Further, at the edges of the folded back portions 12 and 13, holding portions 21 and 22 provided with a plurality of concave portions 21a, 21a, ..., 22a, 22a, ... formed in a wave shape are formed. The holding portions 21 and 22 are formed symmetrically in the left-right direction, and the pockets 51a, 51b, 52a, 52b,..., 55a of the medicine sheet 50 in the recesses 21a, 21a, ..., 22a, 22a,. , 55b elastically fit in part of the left and right outer edges. For example, by forming the package 10 (in particular, the holding portions 21 and 22) under the manufacturing conditions shown in FIG. 6, when the user of the medicine slides the medicine sheet 50, appropriate moderation is achieved at each fitting position. It becomes possible to give a feeling.

The drug sheet 50 is adjacent to a first slide position (for example, a first fitting position shown in FIG. 7) in which the pockets of one row align with the positions of the holes 15a and 15b by the holders 21 and 22. In the second slide position (for example, the second fitting position shown in FIG. 8) which blocks all or at least a part of the holes 15a and 15b in the middle of the two rows of pockets, the position is stably held.
Here, in the example of the first slide position (first fitting position) of FIG. 7, the positions of the holes 15a of the base sheet 11 and the pockets 52a of the drug sheet 50 are aligned, and the holes 15b of the base sheet 11 and the drug A state in which the sheet 50 is aligned with the pocket 52b is shown. In the example of the second slide position (second fitting position) of FIG. 8, the hole 15 a of the base sheet 11 is closed with the medicine sheet 50 between the pocket 53 a and the pocket 54 a, and the hole 15 b of the base sheet 11 Is shown being blocked by the drug sheet 50 between the pockets 53b and the pockets 54b.

  The recesses 21a, 21a, ..., 22a, 22a, ... at the edge of the turnbacks 12, 13 are the distance between the first and second slide positions described above, that is, the rows of pockets of the drug sheet 50 It is formed in a wavelike manner with a spatial period of 1/2 pitch of the interval of. Thereby, when the medicine sheet 50 is slid, the left and right outer edges of the pockets 51a, 51b, 52a, 52b,... Are partially recessed at the first and second slide positions alternately repeated sequentially. 21a,..., 22a, 22a,.

As a result, the user of the medicine merely slides the medicine sheet 50, and the first slide in which the pocket of any one row in which the medicine is enclosed is aligned with the holes 15a and 15b of the base sheet 11. It can be held in position (first mating position) and by pushing the pocket in that position the drug can be easily removed.
Further, according to the present embodiment, the holes 15a and 15b of the base sheet 11 are formed in only one row (two in the case of the present embodiment) corresponding to one row of the pockets of the medicine sheet 50. Therefore, the doser is used immediately after taking out a row of medicines or in a state where the medicine sheet 50 is held at the second slide position (second fitting position) where the holes 15a and 15b of the base sheet 11 are closed. However, the drug can not be taken out unless the drug sheet 50 is intentionally slid so that the pocket in which the drug is enclosed is in the position of the holes 15a, 15b. That is, since the drug can not be taken out unless the user deliberately manipulates the slide, there is a risk that the drug may be taken carelessly or accidentally even if it is mischief by a child or the like. It can be made extremely small.

[Other Embodiments of Package for Pharmaceutical Sheet]
Next, some variations of the pharmaceutical sheet package of the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 9 is a side view and a plan view of a package 60 according to another embodiment. In the modification of FIG. 9, the stopper portion at one end (upper end in FIG. 9) of the base sheet 11 in the longitudinal direction is formed as a convex portion 31 which is elongated in a bank shape from the base sheet 11. Also by such a convex portion 31, it is possible to restrict the drug sheet (not shown) from sliding outward beyond one end of the base sheet 11. This can prevent the medicine sheet from being removed carelessly from the package 60.

  Next, FIG. 10 is a plan view of a package 70 according to still another embodiment. In this modification, the holes 15a and 15b of the base sheet 11 are on the sliding direction side (the lower side in FIG. 10) than the other end of the drug sheet 50 when the one end of the drug sheet 50 is in the end position in contact with the turnback portion 14 It is formed to be located on the side). According to this embodiment, the distance by which the drug sheet 50 is slid to the first slide position where the drug can be removed is longer than the embodiment described above, and thus the risk of accidental drug removal by a child or the like. Can be further reduced.

  Next, FIG. 11 is a plan view of a package 80 according to still another embodiment. FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view of the package 80 when it is cut at the position of XII-XII shown in FIG. In this modification, the holes 15a and 15b for taking out the medicine are formed in the platform 32 projecting from the surface 11a of the base sheet 11 facing the medicine sheet. By forming such a platform 32, the rigidity around the holes 15a, 15b can be increased, and in particular, even if a force is applied in the direction to crush the pocket for taking out the medicine, It is possible to keep the amount of bending and its deformation small.

  Next, FIG. 13 is a plan view of a package 90 according to still another embodiment. In this modification, the holding portion 21 is provided with a plurality of concave portions 21a, 21a, ..., 22a, 22a, ... formed in a wave shape at the edges of the folding portions 12, 13 turned back on both sides of the base sheet 11. , 22 are formed. The pockets 51a, 51b, 52a, 52b,..., 55a, 55b of the medicine sheet 50 in the recesses 21a, 21a,. By fitting, it is possible to generate an appropriate moderation feeling at each fitted position where the drug sheet 50 is slid.

  The recesses 21a, 21a,... 22a, 22a,... The drug sheet 50 packaged in the package 90 by the holding portions 21 and 22 including such concave portions 21a, 21a, ..., 22a, 22a, ... has one row of pockets and holes 15a, It is stably held at a plurality of fitting positions where the position of 15b is aligned.

  Thereby, the user of the medicine simply slides the medicine sheet 50 to place the pocket of any one row in which the medicine is enclosed in the fitting position in which the holes 15a and 15b of the base sheet 11 are aligned. It can be held and the drug can be easily removed by pushing the pocket in that position. Further, the holes 15a and 15b of the base sheet 11 are formed in only one row (two in the case of the present embodiment) corresponding to one row of the pockets of the medicine sheet 50. Therefore, in a state where the medicine sheet 50 is held at the fitting position where the row of empty pockets after taking out the medicine and the positions of the holes 15a and 15b are aligned, the user takes the pocket in which the medicine is enclosed. The drug can not be removed unless the drug sheet 50 is intentionally slid to fit the holes 15a and 15b. In other words, since the drug can not be taken out unless the user deliberately manipulates the slide, even if it is mischief by a child or the like, the risk of the drug being taken out accidentally is extremely reduced. it can.

  Moreover, FIG.14 and FIG.15 is the expanded view and top view of the package body 91 by further another embodiment. As shown in these figures, the base sheet 11 of the package 91 may have a third folded portion 17 formed on the opposite side of the second folded portion 14. According to this embodiment, when taking out the drug, a new operation is performed in which the third folded portion 17 in the folded state is inserted into the gap between the drug sheet and the base sheet 11 and then the drug sheet is slid. It will be necessary. Therefore, the child resistance function at the time of packaging of the medicine sheet can be further improved. Moreover, since the packaging body 91 by this embodiment can hold | maintain a chemical | medical agent sheet in the state which turned back 4 sides of the base sheet 11, it can hold | maintain in a comparatively stable form rather than the aspect which bends three sides mentioned above. We can expect the effect of that.

  According to the package 10, 60, 70, 80, 90 for the medicine sheet of each embodiment described above, a child or the like may accidentally or not take care of the operation performance for taking out the medicine by the person taking the medicine. It can be equipped with a protective function (child resistance function) which can not take out medicine in preparation.
