Definitions

  • the invention provides a packaging means for use in packaging solid dose pharmaceutical formulations, methods and processes for the preparation of said packaging means and uses thereof.
  • GMP Good Manufacturing Practice
  • EP 0940 353 describes a form of self-contained reclosable packaging especially suitable for containing different medicament types.
  • WO98/00351 describes a foldable blister pack wherein the blister parts are offset relative to each other and are contained in a supporting unit.
  • US4974729 discloses a calender type dispenser
  • WO01/66438 discloses a packaging system for storing and dispensing individual doses of medication
  • GB2228922 discloses a packaging with certain doses of medicaments grouped together. The aim of such packaging is to aid patient compliance with particular dosing regimes.
  • GB2266880 describes a blister package comprising two card portions which are sealable on the other by contact adhesive.
  • CA-A-2,212,112 there is disclosed a foldable, unitary packaging means according to the pre-characterising part of claim 1.
  • the present invention provides a foldable, unitary, packaging means according to claim 1.
  • packaging means is unitary is important because only one product code is necessary to identify the said packaging means. This means the potential for errors is much smaller as it is not necessary to ensure that the correct combination of components, including the instruction leaflet, is used. Thus there is a safety aspect and possibly a cost benefit associated with the unitary nature of the packaging means.
  • the said folding mechanism allows the packaging means to be essentially unitary whilst still performing all the necessary functions.
  • the first and second surface areas of the packaging means are defined in panel(s) which are hingedly located to facilitate a folding type mechanism. This allows the packaging means to fold into a compact unit that is convenient for transit and also has a large total surface area that is made available when the packaging means is open.
  • This large total surface area can accommodate the instructions/information relating to the medicament.
  • FIG. 1 An exemplary folding means is illustrated in the diagrams, of which Figs 1 and 2 are not in accord with the invention, and described as follows.
  • Fig 4 shows a packaging means comprising 8 panels arid a method of folding comprising:
  • An alternative example of a method of folding the packaging means as shown in fig. 4bb, fig 4cc, fig4ee and fig 4dd comprises:
  • folding mechanisms are within the scope of this invention, for example, where the number of panels is varied and/or wherein the medicament is located in a panel other than a or Z and/or where the order of folding the panels is different.
  • the folding mechanism of the packaging means protects the blister pack efficiently due to at least one layer of material covering each side of the said blister pack and usually a multiplicity of layers covering the foil side of the blister pack, which is the side most susceptible to damage.
  • the said folding mechanism used also has the advantage that a deliberate act of unfolding is required to open the packaging means.
  • the content is less likely to spill out due to the natural bias in the system to remain closed, unlike a box wherein the fastening flap may be forced open when dropped.
  • another aspect of the invention is a packaging means which once closed has an inherent bias to remain closed.
  • the packaging means can be used with existing blister packs, which means the expense and delay of redesigning the blister packs, to be inserted, may be avoided.
  • the packaging means is extremely flexible in that it can easily be varied and designed to facilitate use with various shaped blister packs. This means development times for the packaging means are rapid.
  • the design of the said packaging means allows the blister pack(s) to be inserted without the need for processing which may induce changes in the blister pack(s), for example by printing on the blister pack.
  • perforations in the material may preferably be used to facilitate access to the pharmaceutical formulation which is located behind it.
  • the packaging means is disposable.
  • the packaging means will contain one type of medicament or one type of therapy.
  • One therapy type may require one or more medicaments to be present in the same packaging.
  • An aspect of the invention is a packaging means with a surface area presenting substantially complete instructions.
  • the packaging means must provide a surface area capable of accommodating all the necessary patient instructions and/or information, optionally for a variety of classes of patients, which obviates the requirement for a supplementary instruction/information leaflet to be supplied with the said packaging means.
  • the presentation of information on the surface of the packaging means will be by direct and/or indirect printed means and/or braille. More preferably by direct printed means and/or braille, especially printed means or braille.
  • the packaging means Once the packaging means is closed it has the advantage of being slimline due to the efficient use of space and all the elements being in close proximity possibly leading to a certain amount of resistance to moderate crushing.
  • This in conjunction with the lightweight of the complete unit makes the packaging means very suitable for transit by the end-user, for example, in a purse or wallet, and also to the end-user as the slimline design and preferably regular shape, when closed, allows efficient packing of the said packaging means for bulk transportation. The latter may result in cost savings if more units can be transported with less weight per unit in less space, which may be advantageous.
  • a further aspect of this invention is the use of said means in the packaging of pharmaceutical formulations, preferably solid dose pharmaceutical formulations.
  • a suitable process for preparing a packaging means comprises:
