Drug dispenser

Technical field

The technical solution relates to a medicament dispenser, in particular for storing a weekly dose of medicaments to be administered several times, usually three or four times a day.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Dispensers for storing drugs for a certain period of time are known. It is a treatment used mainly for elderly patients and for patients with memory disorders who are forced to take medication even when the person who is normally caring for them is not present. It is usually a box or moldings with a certain number of wells to store several types of drugs that the patient has to take some time _t, boxes are filled usually in hospitals or laboratories, pharmacies. The boxes are covered with a lid that is sliding or hinged.

In this arrangement of the lid, in addition to the doses of various medicaments intended for ingestion at a certain time, other doses may be discharged from the container, which are not easily returned to the recess especially because, for example, doses of different medicaments in the ingested medicament mixture. in the morning, at noon and in the evening they are not usually the same. This difficulty increases if the patient sees poorly or the mobility of the fingers of his hand is reduced. It would therefore be desirable to ensure that the dispenser reliably withdraws only a single dose of medicaments at a time. The essence of the technical solution

The essence of the invention consists of a medicament dispenser for dispensing a mixture of medicaments to patients during the week, consisting of a plastic molding with a number of hollows corresponding to the number of days per week when administered three or four times a day.

In this new dispenser design for this purpose, the disposable dose is removed from the dispenser by tearing the cover foil from above the corresponding recess. In this way, only a single dose of different medicaments stored in the recess is released, while the other recesses remain securely closed.

A further advantage of using the dispenser according to the new solution is that the drug mixture is deposited in the lower portion of the disposable dispenser so that the impurities of the medicaments cannot be contaminated, as is the case with dispensers in the form of reusable cartons, appropriate hygiene conditions for dosing are easily observed.

The molding may be made of any plastic material, for example PP, PVC, PS and the like, the covering film may be made of aluminum, various laminates and the like.

The technical solution will be explained in more detail by means of drawings.
