Definitions
- the invention relates to a use of a blister pack according to claim 1.
- Tablets, capsules and the like are sold in the form of blister strips, which are usually packaged in several layers in a receiving box.
- a blister strip is usually 10 tablets and a bulk pack e.g. 10 strips and therefore 100 tablets. In other countries, however, 12 or 14 tablets per strip are common. Therefore, if blister packs from such a country e.g. are imported into Germany, they are repacked in the usual container size in Germany.
- a use of a blister pack for receiving blister strip sections is already known, resulting from the cutting of blister strips, when importing medicines, the number of tablets, capsules or the like does not correspond to the size of the container in the importing country.
- a blister strip portion is attached to a support plate, which corresponds to the size of the receiving box in the import country to prevent slipping of the blister strip sections in the receiving box.
- the known blister pack is a blister strip section and not an original blister strip.
- the blister strip section can be detached from the carrier plate with its edge region.
- Types of different tablets are prescribed to facilitate compliance with the therapy.
- the packaging is constructed according to GB-A-2 228 922, wherein the individual blister strip sections contain the same drug, but in different doses, for example, to be able to deposit a drug without withdrawal symptoms.
- GB-A-2 228 922 discloses a blister pack containing tablets, capsules or the like and comprising sections of blister strips in which the tablets, capsules or the like are individually received in depressions in a grid and pushable through the back cover sheet for use are, wherein the portions are fixed to a support plate and each support plate consists of a bottom portion and a cover portion, which are formed by folding a blank of cardboard or the like sheet-like material, the bottom portion and the cover portion are provided with recesses, and between the bottom portion and a plurality of blister strip sections are attached to the cover section in such a way that the depressions of the blister strip sections protrude from the recesses of the cover section and the tablets, capsules or the like can be pushed out by the opposite recesses in the bottom section.
- the object of the invention is to propose a new use of a blister pack for tablets, capsules and the like.
- the carrier plate consists of a bottom section and a cover section which form a shell in which a plurality of blister strip sections are located.
- the cover section and the bottom section each have recesses through which the recesses of the blister strip sections project individually or the tablets can be pushed out.
- the blister strip sections are thus completely covered.
- a blister pack consisting of several BlisterstMailschnipseln.
- the blister pack thus meets the high quality and originality claims that are made of drugs.
- the tablets have been manipulated, not even arise and trigger corresponding irritation.
- the blank for the envelope of the blister pack consists of cardboard or another sheet-like material, for example a plastic film.
- the blister strip sections are also connected by gluing or, for example, by a seal made of a plastic film by sealing with the shell.
- the blister strip sections can be fastened in the sleeve alone or in addition by connecting the cover and bottom sections, in particular in their edge region, e.g. glued or welded. This also has the advantage that one can not unfold the cover section and the bottom section and then recognize that the blister pack contains blister strip sections.
- the recesses in the cover section and the bottom section are preferably arranged at a distance from one another or a grid which corresponds to the spacing or the grid of the recesses of a conventional blister strip. That is, the recesses are e.g. arranged in rows, each extending over the entire length and width of the carrier plate or shell. The recesses may thereby form rows and rows extending perpendicular to the rows or the recesses of adjacent rows may be offset, for example by half the distance between two adjacent recesses of a row. But it is also possible any other arrangement of the recesses; e.g. For example, the recesses in the cover section and the bottom section can also be arranged in a circle, semi-circle or in another way.
- some blister strip ribs in the film of the blister strip in which the recesses are provided.
- the cover portion may be provided with slot-shaped recesses through which the ribs protrude. The impression that the blister pack consists of only a single blister strip is not affected.
- one or more carrier plates with the blister strip sections fastened thereto can be packed in a receiving box, for example in a conventional rectangular box which can be opened on the opposite short narrow sides by pulling out a push-in tab.
- a receiving box for example in a conventional rectangular box which can be opened on the opposite short narrow sides by pulling out a push-in tab.
- this box in addition to the or the support plates with the attached blister strip sections and a leaflet that contains the necessary information for the patient to be introduced.
- such a box can be dispensed with if a cover part which can be folded over the cover section or the carrier plate adjoins the bottom section of the blank.
- the cover part folded over the cover section can then be connected, for example, with an adhesive, plug or the like connection, e.g. a tab attached to the support plate.
- the leaflet may also be attached to the inside of the lid part, e.g. glued or pinned.
- the cover part also covers the bottom section, it preferably consists of a middle part and an end part, which can be folded over the cover section or onto the bottom section of the carrier plate.
- each transverse folds are provided between the bottom portion and the middle part and the middle part and the end part, leading to the fold between the bottom portion and the cover portion of the support plate are parallel.
- further connecting sections are respectively provided between the bottom portion of the carrier plate and the middle part and between the middle part and the end part by corresponding transverse folds.
- the end part is then fastened, for example with an adhesive, plug or the like. Connection on the bottom portion.
- a blister pack with such a lid part of the leaflet is preferably attached to the inside of the middle part.
- the leaflet occupies a larger area than the middle part, it can be folded up. If it is longer than the middle part, the leaflet can be glued to an edge region of its four sides on the edge of the lid part or middle part and folded by transverse folds to the length of the lid part or middle part. Preferably, the leaflet is adhered to its upper side. If the leaflet is wider than the Dekkelteil or middle part, it can be folded with at least one longitudinal fold, and if it is wider and longer than the lid part or middle part, the folded transversely to the length of the lid part or middle part leaflet with at least a longitudinal fold to the width of the lid part or middle part are folded.
- another printed product can be used instead of the leaflet, for example a booklet which is glued to the inside of the cover part, that is, for example, the middle or end part.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Verwendung einer Blisterpackung gemäß Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a use of a blister pack according to
Tabletten, Kapseln und dgl. werden in Form von Blisterstreifen vertrieben, die meist in mehreren Lagen in einer Aufnahmeschachtel abgepackt sind.Tablets, capsules and the like. Are sold in the form of blister strips, which are usually packaged in several layers in a receiving box.
Allerdings gibt es Fälle, bei denen keine ganzen Blisterstreifen in die Aufnahmeschachtel eingesetzt werden. Solche Fälle ergeben sich z.B. beim Import von Arzneimitteln, die für einen anderen Markt und damit auch für andere Packungsgrößen hergestellt sind. Innerhalb des Arzneimittelmarktes haben sich nationale Gebindegrößen entwickelt, die in dem jeweiligen Land üblich sind und von der Arzneimittelindustrie so gut wie ausnahmslos angeboten werden.However, there are cases where no blister strips are inserted into the receiving box. Such cases arise e.g. Importing medicines produced for another market and therefore for other pack sizes. Within the pharmaceutical market, national container sizes have developed, which are common in the respective country and are offered by the pharmaceutical industry as well as without exception.
So enthält z.B. in Deutschland ein Blisterstreifen üblicherweise 10 Tabletten und eine Großpackung z.B. 10 Streifen und damit 100 Tabletten. In anderen Ländern sind hingegen 12 oder 14 Tabletten pro Streifen üblich. Wenn daher Blisterpackungen aus einem solchen Land z.B. nach Deutschland importiert werden, werden sie in die in Deutschland übliche Gebindegröße umgepackt.Thus, e.g. in Germany a blister strip is usually 10 tablets and a bulk pack e.g. 10 strips and therefore 100 tablets. In other countries, however, 12 or 14 tablets per strip are common. Therefore, if blister packs from such a country e.g. are imported into Germany, they are repacked in the usual container size in Germany.
Das heißt, von einem Blisterstreifen mit 12 oder 14 Tabletten werden 2 bzw. 4 Tabletten abgeschnitten, um die in Deutschland übliche Anzahl von 10 Tabletten pro Streifen zu erreichen, während z.B. einer Großpackung aus dem Ausland mit 7 Streifen mit je 14 Tabletten, also insgesamt 98 Tabletten, in Deutschland ein Blisterstreifenabschnitt mit 2 Tabletten hinzugefügt wird, um ein Gebinde mit 100 Tabletten zu erhalten. Die im ersten Fall abgeschnittenen 2 bzw. 4 Tabletten müssen verworfen werden, wodurch sich die Kosten entsprechend erhöhen. Im anderen Fall führt der Blisterstreifenschnipsel mit 2 Tabletten in der Großpackung zu einer Beeinträchtigung der hohen Qualitäts- und Originalitätsansprüche, die an Arzneimittel gestellt werden. Denn, obwohl beim Zerschneiden der Blisterstreifen in kleinere Abschnitte an den Tabletten an sich gar nicht manipuliert wird, entsteht beim Patienten ein gegenteiliger Eindruck, der entsprechende Irritationen auslöst. 2That is, from a blister strip with 12 or 14 tablets, 2 or 4 tablets are cut off to reach the usual number of 10 tablets per strip in Germany, while, for example, a large pack from abroad with 7 strips of 14 tablets each, so a total of 98 tablets, a blister strip section is added in Germany with 2 tablets to get a pack of 100 tablets. The cut in the
Aus DE-A-36 07 012 ist bereits eine Verwendung einer Blisterpackung zur Aufnahme von Blisterstreifen-Abschnitten bekannt, die beim Zerschneiden von Blisterstreifen anfallen, wenn beim Import von Arzneimitteln die Anzahl der Tabletten, Kapseln oder dergleichen nicht der Gebindegröße im Importland entspricht. Dabei ist jeweils ein Blisterstreifen-Abschnitt an einer Trägerplatte befestigt, die der Größe der Aufnahmeschachtel im Importland entspricht, um ein Herumrutschen der Blisterstreifen-Abschnitte in der Aufnahmeschachtel zu verhindern.From DE-A-36 07 012 a use of a blister pack for receiving blister strip sections is already known, resulting from the cutting of blister strips, when importing medicines, the number of tablets, capsules or the like does not correspond to the size of the container in the importing country. In each case, a blister strip portion is attached to a support plate, which corresponds to the size of the receiving box in the import country to prevent slipping of the blister strip sections in the receiving box.
Man kann jedoch sofort erkennen, dass es sich bei der bekannten Blisterpackung um einen Blisterstreifen-Abschnitt und nicht einen Originalblisterstreifen handelt. Zudem kann sich insbesondere bei einem großen Blisterstreifenabschnitt und damit einer entsprechend großen Aussparung in der Trägerplatte beim Durchdrücken der Tabletten der Blisterstreifenabschnitt mit seinem Randbereich von der Trägerplatte lösen.However, one can immediately see that the known blister pack is a blister strip section and not an original blister strip. In addition, in particular with a large blister strip section and thus a correspondingly large recess in the carrier plate when the tablets are pressed through, the blister strip section can be detached from the carrier plate with its edge region.
Aus DE-A-29 20 162 ist es bekannt, Blisterstreifen-Abschnitte, die jeweils unterschiedliche Tabletten enthalten, zwischen dem Bodenabschnitt und dem Deckabschnitt einer Trägerplatte zu befestigen. Damit soll Patienten, denen mehrereFrom DE-A-29 20 162 it is known to attach blister strip sections, each containing different tablets, between the bottom section and the cover section of a carrier plate. This is intended to help patients who have multiple
Arten unterschiedlicher Tabletten verschrieben werden, die Einhaltung der Therapie erleichtert werden.Types of different tablets are prescribed to facilitate compliance with the therapy.
In gleicher Weise ist die Verpackung nach GB-A-2 228 922 aufgebaut, wobei die einzelnen Blisterstreifen-Abschnitte das gleiche Arzneimittel, jedoch in unterschiedlichen Dosen enthalten, um z.B. eine Droge ohne Entzugserscheinungen absetzen zu könnten.In the same way, the packaging is constructed according to GB-A-2 228 922, wherein the individual blister strip sections contain the same drug, but in different doses, for example, to be able to deposit a drug without withdrawal symptoms.
Aus GB-A-2 228 922 ist insbesondere eine Blisterpackung bekannt, die Tabletten, Kapseln oder dergleichen enthält und Abschnitte von Blisterstreifen umfasst, in denen die Tabletten, Kapseln oder dergleichen in einem Raster jeweils einzeln in Vertiefungen aufgenommen und zum Gebrauch durch dessen Rückenabdeckfolie durchdrückbar sind, wobei die Abschnitte an einer Trägerplatte befestigt sind und jede Trägerplatte aus einem Bodenabschnitt und einem Deckabschnitt besteht, die durch Zusammenfalten eines Zuschnitts aus Karton oder dergleichen bogenförmigen Material gebildet sind, der Bodenabschnitt und der Deckabschnitt mit Aussparungen versehen sind, und zwischen dem Bodenabschnitt und dem Deckabschnitt mehrere Blisterstreifenabschnitte derart befestigt sind, dass die Vertiefungen der Blisterstreifenabschnitte aus den Aussparungen des Deckabschnitts ragen und die Tabletten, Kapseln oder dergleichen durch die gegenüberliegenden Aussparungen in dem Bodenabschnitt herausdrückbar sind.In particular, GB-A-2 228 922 discloses a blister pack containing tablets, capsules or the like and comprising sections of blister strips in which the tablets, capsules or the like are individually received in depressions in a grid and pushable through the back cover sheet for use are, wherein the portions are fixed to a support plate and each support plate consists of a bottom portion and a cover portion, which are formed by folding a blank of cardboard or the like sheet-like material, the bottom portion and the cover portion are provided with recesses, and between the bottom portion and a plurality of blister strip sections are attached to the cover section in such a way that the depressions of the blister strip sections protrude from the recesses of the cover section and the tablets, capsules or the like can be pushed out by the opposite recesses in the bottom section.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine neue Verwendung einer Blisterpackung für Tabletten, Kapseln und dgl. Arzneimittelzubereitungen vorzuschlagen, die mehrere Blisterstreifen-Abschnitte fest verankert enthält, ohne dass erkennbar ist, dass es sich um Blisterstreifen-Abschnitte handelt.The object of the invention is to propose a new use of a blister pack for tablets, capsules and the like. Pharmaceutical preparations containing a plurality of blister strip sections firmly anchored, without recognizing that it is blister strip sections.
Dies wird erfindungsgemäß mit der im Anspruch 1 definierten Verwendungs erreicht. In den Unteransprüchen sind vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung wiedergegeben.This is achieved according to the invention with the use defined in
Erfindungsgemäß besteht die Trägerplatte aus einem Bodenabschnitt und einem Deckabschnitt, die eine Hülle bilden, in der sich mehrere Blisterstreifen-Abschnitte befinden. Der Deckabschnitt und der Bodenabschnitt weisen jeweils Aussparungen auf, durch die die Vertiefungen der Blisterstreifen-Abschnitte einzeln ragen bzw. die Tabletten herausdrückbar sind.According to the invention, the carrier plate consists of a bottom section and a cover section which form a shell in which a plurality of blister strip sections are located. The cover section and the bottom section each have recesses through which the recesses of the blister strip sections project individually or the tablets can be pushed out.
Abgesehen von den Vertiefungen der Blisterstreifen-Abschnitte in den Aussparungen in dem Deckabschnitt und der Durchdrückfolie an der Unterseite der Blisterstreifen-Abschnitte in den Aussparungen in dem Bodenabschnitt sind damit die Blisterstreifen-Abschnitte völlig abgedeckt. Damit ist von aussen nicht erkennbar, dass es sich um eine aus mehreren Blisterstreifenschnipseln bestehende Blisterpackung handelt. Trotz ihrer Herstellung aus Blisterstreifenschnipseln entspricht die Blisterpackung damit den hohen Qualitäts- und Originalitätsansprüchen, die an Arzneimittel gestellt werden. Damit kann der falsche Eindruck beim Patienten, an den Tabletten sei manipuliert worden, gar nicht erst aufkommen und entsprechende Irritationen auslösen.Apart from the depressions of the blister strip sections in the recesses in the cover section and the push-through film on the underside of the blister strip sections in the recesses in the bottom section, the blister strip sections are thus completely covered. Thus, it is not apparent from the outside, that it is a blister pack consisting of several Blisterstreifenschnipseln. Despite their production from Blisterstreifenschnipseln the blister pack thus meets the high quality and originality claims that are made of drugs. Thus, the wrong impression in the patient, the tablets have been manipulated, not even arise and trigger corresponding irritation.
Der Zuschnitt für die Hülle der Blisterpackung besteht aus Karton oder einem anderen bogenförmigen Material, beispielsweise einer Kunststoffolie. Die Blisterstreifen-Abschnitte werden z.B. durch Ankleben oder bei einer Hülle aus einer Kunststoffolie auch durch Versiegeln mit der Hülle verbunden.The blank for the envelope of the blister pack consists of cardboard or another sheet-like material, for example a plastic film. The blister strip sections are also connected by gluing or, for example, by a seal made of a plastic film by sealing with the shell.
Es ist jedoch auch möglich, die Blisterstreifen-Abschnitte allein oder zusätzlich dadurch in der Hülle zu befestigen, dass der Deck- und Bodenabschnitt insbesondere in ihrem Randbereich miteinander verbunden, also z.B. verklebt oder verschweißt werden. Dies hat auch zum Vorteil, dass man den Deckabschnitt und den Bodenabschnitt nicht auseinanderklappen und dann erkennen kann, dass die Blisterpackung Blisterstreifen-Abschnitte enthält.However, it is also possible for the blister strip sections to be fastened in the sleeve alone or in addition by connecting the cover and bottom sections, in particular in their edge region, e.g. glued or welded. This also has the advantage that one can not unfold the cover section and the bottom section and then recognize that the blister pack contains blister strip sections.
Um den Eindruck zu erwecken, sie bestehe aus nur einem Blisterstreifen, sind die Aussparungen in dem Deckabschnitt und dem Bodenabschnitt vorzugsweise in einem Abstand voneinander oder einem Raster angeordnet, welches dem Abstand oder dem Raster der Vertiefungen eines üblichen Blisterstreifens entspricht. Das heißt, die Aussparungen sind z.B. in Reihen angeordnet, die sich jeweils über die gesamte Länge und Breite der Trägerplatte oder Hülle erstrecken. Die Aussparungen können dabei Reihen und senkrecht zu den Reihen verlaufende Zeilen bilden oder die Aussparungen benachbarter Reihen können versetzt sein, beispielsweise um den halben Abstand zwischen zwei benachbarten Aussparungen einer Reihe. Es ist aber auch jede andere Anordnung der Aussparungen möglich; z.B. können die Aussparungen in dem Deckabschnitt und dem Bodenabschnitt auch kreis-, halbkreis- oder in anderer Weise angeordnet sein.To give the impression that it consists of only one blister strip, the recesses in the cover section and the bottom section are preferably arranged at a distance from one another or a grid which corresponds to the spacing or the grid of the recesses of a conventional blister strip. That is, the recesses are e.g. arranged in rows, each extending over the entire length and width of the carrier plate or shell. The recesses may thereby form rows and rows extending perpendicular to the rows or the recesses of adjacent rows may be offset, for example by half the distance between two adjacent recesses of a row. But it is also possible any other arrangement of the recesses; e.g. For example, the recesses in the cover section and the bottom section can also be arranged in a circle, semi-circle or in another way.
Zur Führung beim Einblistern in der Einblistermaschine weisen manche Blisterstreifen Rippen in der Folie des Blisterstreifens auf, in der die Vertiefungen vorgesehen sind. Für solche Rippen kann der Deckabschnitt mit schlitzförmigen Aussparungen versehen sein, durch die die Rippen ragen. Der Eindruck, die Blisterpackung bestehe aus nur einem einzigen Blisterstreifen, wird dadurch nicht beeinträchtigt.To guide the Einblistern in the single-blister, some blister strip ribs in the film of the blister strip, in which the recesses are provided. For such ribs, the cover portion may be provided with slot-shaped recesses through which the ribs protrude. The impression that the blister pack consists of only a single blister strip is not affected.
Wie bei Arzneimittelpackungen für Blisterstreifen üblich, können eine oder mehrere Trägerplatten mit den daran befestigten Blisterstreifen-Abschnitten in einer Aufnahmeschachtel abgepackt werden, beispielsweise in einer üblichen rechteckigen Schachtel, die an den gegenüberliegenden kurzen Schmalseiten durch Herausziehen einer Einstecklasche geöffnet werden kann. In diese Schachtel kann neben der oder den Trägerplatten mit den daran befestigten Blisterstreifen-Abschnitten auch ein Beipackzettel, der die notwendigen Informationen für den Patienten enthält, eingeführt werden.As is usual with blister strip medicament packs, one or more carrier plates with the blister strip sections fastened thereto can be packed in a receiving box, for example in a conventional rectangular box which can be opened on the opposite short narrow sides by pulling out a push-in tab. In this box, in addition to the or the support plates with the attached blister strip sections and a leaflet that contains the necessary information for the patient to be introduced.
Auf eine solche Schachtel kann ggf. verzichtet werden, wenn sich an den Bodenabschnitt des Zuschnitts ein über den Deckabschnitt bzw. die Trägerplatte klappbares Deckelteil anschließt. Das über den Deckabschnitt geklappte Deckelteil kann dann beispielsweise mit einer Klebe-, Steck- oder dgl. Verbindung, z.B. einer Lasche an der Trägerplatte befestigt werden.If necessary, such a box can be dispensed with if a cover part which can be folded over the cover section or the carrier plate adjoins the bottom section of the blank. The cover part folded over the cover section can then be connected, for example, with an adhesive, plug or the like connection, e.g. a tab attached to the support plate.
Bei einer solchen Packung kann zudem der Beipackzettel an der Innenseite des Deckelteils befestigt, also z.B. angeklebt oder angeheftet werden.In such a package, the leaflet may also be attached to the inside of the lid part, e.g. glued or pinned.
Damit das Deckelteil auch den Bodenabschnitt abdeckt, besteht es vorzugsweise aus einem Mittelteil und einem Endteil, welche über den Deckabschnitt bzw. auf den Bodenabschnitt der Trägerplatte klappbar sind. Dazu sind zwischen dem Bodenabschnitt und dem Mittelteil sowie dem Mittelteil und dem Endteil jeweils Querfalten vorgesehen, die zu der Falte zwischen dem Bodenabschnitt und dem Deckabschnitt der Trägerplatte parallel verlaufen. Damit das Deckelteil die Trägerplatte spannungsfrei umschließt, sind ferner zwischen dem Bodenabschnitt der Trägerplatte und dem Mittelteil sowie zwischen dem Mittelteil und dem Endteil durch entsprechende Querfalten jeweils Verbindungsabschnitte vorgesehen. Das Endteil wird dann beispielsweise mit einer Klebe-, Steck- oder dgl. Verbindung auf dem Bodenabschnitt befestigt.In order that the cover part also covers the bottom section, it preferably consists of a middle part and an end part, which can be folded over the cover section or onto the bottom section of the carrier plate. For this purpose, each transverse folds are provided between the bottom portion and the middle part and the middle part and the end part, leading to the fold between the bottom portion and the cover portion of the support plate are parallel. So that the cover part surrounds the carrier plate without tension, further connecting sections are respectively provided between the bottom portion of the carrier plate and the middle part and between the middle part and the end part by corresponding transverse folds. The end part is then fastened, for example with an adhesive, plug or the like. Connection on the bottom portion.
Bei einer Blisterpackung mit einem solchen Deckelteil ist der Beipackzettel vorzugsweise an der Innenseite des Mittelteils befestigt.In a blister pack with such a lid part of the leaflet is preferably attached to the inside of the middle part.
Wenn der Beipackzettel eine größere Fläche einnimmt als das Mittelteil, kann er zusammengefaltet werden. Wenn er länger als das Mittelteil ist, kann der Beipackzettel dazu mit einem Randbereich seiner vier Seiten am Rand des Deckelteils bzw. Mittelteils angeklebt und durch Querfalten auf die Länge des Deckelteils bzw. Mittelteils zusammengefaltet werden. Vorzugsweise wird der Beipackzettel dabei an seiner oberen Seite angeklebt. Falls der Beipackzettel breiter ist als das Dekkelteil bzw. Mittelteil, kann er mit wenigstens einer Längsfalte zusammengefaltet werden, und wenn er breiter und länger als das Deckelteil bzw. Mittelteil ist, kann der quer auf die Länge des Deckelteils bzw. Mittelteils zusammengefaltete Beipackzettel mit wenigstens einer Längsfalte auf die Breite des Deckelteils bzw. Mittelteils zusammengefaltet werden.If the leaflet occupies a larger area than the middle part, it can be folded up. If it is longer than the middle part, the leaflet can be glued to an edge region of its four sides on the edge of the lid part or middle part and folded by transverse folds to the length of the lid part or middle part. Preferably, the leaflet is adhered to its upper side. If the leaflet is wider than the Dekkelteil or middle part, it can be folded with at least one longitudinal fold, and if it is wider and longer than the lid part or middle part, the folded transversely to the length of the lid part or middle part leaflet with at least a longitudinal fold to the width of the lid part or middle part are folded.
Um den Patienten die notwendige Gebrauchsinformation zu geben, kann statt dem Beipackzettel auch ein anderes Druckerzeugnis verwendet werden, beispielsweise ein Heft, das an der Innenseite des Deckelteils, also beispielsweise des Mittel- oder Endteils angeklebt wird.In order to give the patient the necessary leaflet, another printed product can be used instead of the leaflet, for example a booklet which is glued to the inside of the cover part, that is, for example, the middle or end part.
Die aus der Trägerplatte mit den darin befestigten Blisterstreifen-Abschnitten sowie dem Deckelteil, also dem Mittelteil und dem Endteil, gebildete Blisterpackung kann erfindungsgemäß dazu benutzt werden, weitere (unzerschnittene) Blisterstreifen und/oder weitere Trägerplatten mit darin befestigten Blisterstreifen-Abschnitten aufzunehmen.The blister pack formed from the carrier plate with the blister strip sections and the lid part, that is to say the middle part and the end part, can be used according to the invention to receive further (unsewn) blister strips and / or further carrier plates with blister strip sections fastened therein.
Dazu weisen die Verbindungsabschnitte zwischen dem Bodenabschnitt der Trägerplatte und dem Mittelteil sowie zwischen dem Mittelteil und dem Endteil eine solche Länge auf, dass zwischen der Trägerplatte und dem über die Trägerplatte geklappten Mittelteil wenigstens eine weitere Trägerplatte aus einem Bodenabschnitt und einem Deckabschnitt mit dazwischen befestigten Blisterstreifen-Abschnitten und/oder wenigstens ein weiterer (unzerschnittener) Blisterstreifen angeordnet werden kann. Das heißt, die Länge der Verbindungsabschnitte zwischen dem Bodenabschnitt der Bodenplatte und dem Mittelteil sowie zwischen dem Mittelteil und dem Endteil entspricht etwa der Höhe des Stapels, den die (unterste) Trägerplatte sowie die zwischen der untersten Trägerplatte und dem Mittelteil angeordneten weiteren Trägerplatten mit den darin befestigten Blisterstreifen-Abschnitten bzw. Blisterstreifen bilden.For this purpose, the connecting portions between the bottom portion of the support plate and the middle part and between the middle part and the end part to such a length that between the support plate and the folded over the support plate middle part at least one further support plate of a bottom portion and a cover portion with blister strip attached therebetween Sections and / or at least one further (uncut) blister strip can be arranged. That is, the length of the connecting portions between the bottom portion of the bottom plate and the central portion and between the central portion and the end portion corresponds approximately to the height of the stack, the (bottom) support plate and arranged between the bottom support plate and the middle part further support plates with the therein form attached blister strip sections or blister strips.
Um zu verhindern, dass die weiteren Trägerplatten mit den darin befestigten Blisterstreifen-Abschnitten bzw. Blisterstreifen aus einer solchen Packung seitlich herausrutschen, sind zwischen den Längsseiten des Bodenabschnitts der untersten Trägerplatte und den Längsseiten des Mittelteils des Deckelteils Verbindungslaschen vorgesehen, beispielsweise Klebelaschen oder Einstecklaschen, z.B. Einstecklaschen, die zwischen den Bodenabschnitt und den Deckabschnitt der untersten Trägerplatte gesteckt werden.In order to prevent the further carrier plates with the blister strip sections or blister strips mounted therein from slipping out of such a package, connecting straps are provided between the longitudinal sides of the bottom section of the lowermost carrier plate and the longitudinal sides of the middle section of the lid section, for example adhesive tabs or tuck-in tabs, eg Insert tabs which are inserted between the bottom portion and the cover portion of the bottom support plate.
