Abstract
The invention relates to a medicament box/medicament dispenser, which comprises a fingerprint recognition circuit positioned in a cover connected to the medicament box. The cover is locked on the medicament box, and if the cover is not moved at first, tablets cannot be dispensed from the medicament box. When a person puts a thumb on the cover of the medicament dispenser, a computer chip reads thefingerprint of the thumb. If the person is an authorized user, the cover is opened and released from the medicament box, so that pills can be dispensed from the medicament box. If the fingerprint is not recognized, the cover remains locked in the position, so that the pills cannot be dispensed. In addition, if the computer chip recognizes interference, for example, an unauthorized user continuously tries to move the cover, chemical spray sprays from the cover to the inside of the medicament box. The spray can dilute or destroy the effectiveness of the remaining pills in the medicament box.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates generally to and put medicine box, more specifically, relate to the medicine box of putting in conjunction with locking device, this locking device is used to prevent that pill is from wherein distributing up to discharging this locking device.
Background technology
Tablet is the mixture of active substance and receptor (recipients), normally is pressed with powder type or is compressed into a solid.Excipient comprises that binding agent, filter aid and lubricant are to guarantee effective tabletting; Disintegrating agent is to guarantee that tablet is decomposed at digestive tract; Sweeting agent or spice are with the taste of the not good active component of taste masking; With pigment so that the tablet of coating is visually not attractive.Coating can be used for covering the taste of tablet ingredients, so that tablet is more level and smooth and be easier to swallow, and makes it resist environment more, and the result prolongs its shelf-life.
Oral medicine provides with tablet form usually.The so-called pill of tablet and capsule.Other with the tablet form manufacturing and be designed to the dissolving or analytical product comprise the cleaning and deodorising product.
Tablet is intended to be swallowed usually, and therefore it is suitable dimensions and shape.The tablet that is used for other purpose (for example effervescent tablet and non-tablet) can be bigger.
Tablet is made into the shape of a disk at first, and their component determines its color, but nowadays it is made into a variety of shapes and color and distinguishes the different pharmaceutical that they are taken to help user.Tablet is printed on symbol, the letter and number that makes that they can be distinguished usually.The size that manufactures the tablet of swallowing from several millimeters to about 1 centimetre of variation.Some tablets are capsular shapes, and therefore are known as " coated tablet (caplet) ".
When
Capsule adds cyanide, and many people stop to buy this capsule because they are easy to pollute.The substitute is and buy on-contaminated tablet.The manufacturer of some nonprescription drugss reacts to this by making " coated tablet " (it is the tablet made from capsule shape).Tablet is used for more low dose of by indentation to allow them to be easy to fracture into equal two halves usually.Some swallow tablet difficulties, this is known as dysphagia.This is caused by swallowing reflex usually.
The medicine that uses pill form is with recovery and maintenance physiology and mental health, and the selection of prescription drugs, application and effect increase along with the progress of pharmaceutical science.Similarly, oneself taking prescription drugs by the individual over the years also increases.This is in that can to take medicine (need in the past/allow user be in hospital) at home especially true under with the situation of resisting disease or symptom.The minimizing of the time of being in hospital along with needs of patients does not have the self administration of the complicated Drug therapy (complex medication) of suitable doctor's advice significantly to increase.Regrettably, the drug side effect for the patient of the medicine of suitably not taking correct dose or excessive use also increases.
To overdose take, the situation of wrong clothes and abuse all put down in writing well in each community.These unfortunate behaviors can cause user life, and those people's relevant various side effect with user, comprise health risk, individual and social unrest, reaction, addiction, swindle, swindle and forfeiture normal function sexual life, for example keep work, look after family and other primary responsibility.The Drug therapy arrangement of not observing self administration is a health problem that expense is huge, and it causes the increase of seeing a doctor and being in hospital.When a high proportion of mistake is taken medicine those people (promptly or have at present those people of drug dependence or drug dependence problem) of product when being considered to excessive risk, those are not considered to high risk people may submit to same problem not guiltyly, because the highly habit-forming medicine of their designated use, anesthetis or equivalence prescription are to tackle pain, sleep relevant issues, depression or other health problem.
Should habit-forming risk relate to prescription doctor, pharmacists and manufacturer because misuse and habit-forming risk may than at symptom more harmful.The doctor may write a prescription thing (under-prescribe) avoiding this worry less to the patient, also weakens simultaneously the positive role and the contribution that may provide when suitably taking prescription drugs (be provided).At will near one bottle of efficient, medicine habit-forming, that form the habit can make doctor and user be in troubling, may jeopardize safe state.
Increasing by the importance that uses prophylactic methods (for example using domestic intelligent to put medicine box) to avoid confusion.Yet existing pill device is not fit to the required application of this kind well.
In the past, in design more function auto levelizer, improved complexity and cost and solved these problems.Usually, it is very big that medicine system general size is put by former family, is not easy to carry, and do not provide the effective and easy machinery of relative cost to place medicine.Fill out to put and fill out again to put and to need (in-home) assistance in the family.Change (transfer) and put into the probability that medicine brings medicine discriminating mistake by person of looking after of family rather than pharmacists.By designing, many these devices are provided and are supervised by the person of looking after who is trained by intention, and need to monitor and keep.Some complexity of these devices and function are included in a multiple dose in the compartment, and the user or the person of looking after load dosage compartment, computer program, computer interface, many alarm devices, many timing are provided with function, logout and monitoring, remote monitoring and sound and visual alarm.These abilities are labour intensives, take and consume cost.
On the contrary, but the device of simplification lacks enough overtreatment protection features usually keeping offering help in the dosage arrangement.Therefore, need no matter where user is positioned at, only allow method, process and the system of user near medicine at predetermined distance, and enough simple and little of keeping cheap manufacturing cost.Valuably, this device and system will provide the expectation of pharmaceutical manufacturer, prescription doctor and pharmacists's medicine to use the confidence that will be abideed by, and offer user one compression put medicine box to guarantee that to a certain degree protection avoids possible misuse, relying on or habit-forming.
The restriction baby is known near the problem of medicine bottle.The reaction of the problem that the baby's that caused by the domestic prescription drugs accidental poisoning is produced has caused generally using basically child-proof (child-proof) shutoff device, and it is designed to make baby and child can not open the medicine box opening.This child-proof shutoff device the design generally used comprise such lid, it need be aimed at allowing with specific direction of rotation and open, with comprise such lid, it need have downward pressure to be used for the essential rotation of turning on to mesh inner lid on the top of lid, perhaps discharges lid from locking device.Many these known child-proof shutoff device designs are rational and effective for its purpose of wanting at first, also exist simultaneously some undesired side effect to make for many adults, for example, old people especially, have defective vision or the defective people of hands, be difficult to open medicine box.Consequently in many families, the adult who is difficult to open " child-proof " medicine box may be tending towards removing simply lid and with the bottle opening, thoroughly destroy the purpose that child-proof shutoff device is provided of putting in the first place.Because grand parents and grandchildren stay in the demography development trend in the same family, recognize that at present this problem becomes more and more serious.
In the tablet compression process, it is highly important that all the components should quite dry, powdered or particulate, particle size homogeneous and free-flow slightly.The powder of blended particle size is because the operation vibration can separate, and this can cause tablet to have the homogeneity of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) content of poor medicament contg homogeneity or difference.Content uniformity guarantees that each tablet discharges identical API dosage.
Some API can be pure material by tabulation, but this situation seldom; Most preparations comprise excipient.Usually, add the non-active ingredient (excipient) be known as binding agent to help to keep tablet coalescent and give its intensity.Can use multiple binding agent, some binding agents commonly used comprise lactose powder, dicalcium phosphate, sucrose, corn starch, microcrystalline Cellulose and modified cellulose.
Usually, also need to act as the composition of disintegrating agent, it is easy to hydrolysis just dispersion in case quilt is swallowed to help tablet in water, discharge API and be used for absorbing.Some binding agents, for example starch and cellulose also are excellent disintegrating agents.Usually also add lubricant in a small amount.The most frequently used is magnesium stearate; Yet other tablet lubricants commonly used comprises stearic acid, hydrogenant oil and sodium stearyl fumarate (sodium stearylfumarate).These lubricants help tablet more easily to draw off (ejected) when compression from mould.
Nowadays, many tablets coating all after compression.Although the pop over sweet tablet, this method has many shortcomings.Modern tablet coating is to comprise the polymer of plasticizer and pigment and polysaccharide class.Tablet coating must be stablely and strong can remain when handling tablet to being enough to, and can not in the coating process tablet be sticked together, and must be according to tablet epirelief lettering symbol or the meticulous profile that indicates.
If desired, coating also can promote to print on tablet.Coating needs the tablet with taste unsatisfactory, and the feasible easier a large amount of tablets of swallowing of more level and smooth finished product.Tablet coating is easy to the component of humidity or oxidation to prolongation shelf-life also is useful.The opaque material of similar titanium dioxide can prevent light activated active substance light degradation.Special coating also can strengthen brand recognition.
If the active component acid labile of tablet, or gastric stimulation thing can be used enteric coating, it prevents gastric acid and high pH place dissolving in intestinal.Enteric coating also is used for such medicine, and it is owing to experience one long-time its absorbed small intestinal that arrives produces adverse influence.Usually select coating to control medicine in the gastrointestinal dissolution velocity.
Some medicines will be absorbed better at the diverse location of digestive system.If the highest percentage ratio of drug absorption betides stomach, will be chosen in the acid fast and be easy to dissolved coating.If absorption rate is maximum in large intestine or colon, before decomposition, arrive in this position to guarantee it use antiacid and dissolve slow coating.Usually by the definite gastrointestinal region that arbitrary certain drug is had optimal absorption of clinical trial.
The tablet forcing press is also referred to as tablet machine, industrial from small-sized, cheap desktop type (once making a slice) to the mainframe computer with bigger pressure (can make hundreds and thousands of even millions of tablets in one hour).Some tablet forcing presses can be made very large tablet, for example some toilet cleaning and deodorising products, or the soap that washes the dishes.
Other can make less tablet, from conventional aspirin to some BB bullet sizes.The tablet forcing press also can be used for forming tablet by multiple material (from the metal of powder to the dessert piece).The tablet forcing press is the necessary machine part of any medicine and nutraceutical manufacturer.
Sometimes, need be in two or 4 half with tablet.If indentation, tablet is easy to accurately separately so, but the device that is called the pill splitter is arranged, and it cuts indentation and tablet indentation.Tablet with special coating should not separate before use, because this will make the tablet core be exposed to Digestive system, shortens the slow release effect of wanting.Need be used to prevent to steal, sell and abuse the device of pill by once from put medicine box, ejecting a pill.
The problem of putting medicine box before many is that the child can approaching wherein contained pill.Not having the child of supervision, can take can be to the deleterious pill of his or her health.Other pill in past and tablet are put medicine box and are combined the feature that prevents the child so that the child more is difficult to open medicine box.Yet, these prevent child's feature usually make want the people that uses too difficulty open.Further purpose of the present invention is to provide one to be used for the retaining mechanism that prevents the child that pill and tablet are put medicine box, and it provides rapidly the adult and takes.
