Definitions
- the present invention relates to a label intended to be attached to pharmaceutical, parapharmaceutical, phytosanitary and similar products.
- the doctor After a consultation with a doctor, for example, the doctor issues a prescription in which he identifies the different drugs or products needed for the treatment and their dosage. It turned out that, in some cases, the writing of the practitioner who issued the prescription is difficult to decipher. Therefore, it follows then for the patient a difficulty to comply with said prescription, in fact most often, only the dosage appears clearly while the name of the drug concerned is not decipherable.
- the pharmacist who delivers to the patient the various drugs indicates most often on the boxes the dosage to be respected.
- the second problem that may arise is the loss of the package with the indicated dosage.
- the patient is left with a prescription that is difficult to read or even illegible as the only source of information to follow his treatment.
- the purpose of the labeling on prescription drugs is to describe and identify it, so as to contribute to an optimal therapeutic result and to avoid any error in dosage.
- the packaging of the medicament conventionally has a main surface on which are printed the product identification elements such as the trade name, the name of the pharmaceutical laboratory and other various elements, such as logos, figurative elements. or abstract decoration, which help in particular to a visual recognition of the whole product (name, colors, shapes) etc.
- product identification elements such as the trade name, the name of the pharmaceutical laboratory and other various elements, such as logos, figurative elements. or abstract decoration, which help in particular to a visual recognition of the whole product (name, colors, shapes) etc.
- a detachable label the commercial name of said drug, its dosage form, its price, mentioned therein while traceability indications and a possible bar code, the information Regarding the composition, the mode and the route of administration, the therapeutic indications are generally carried by the package itself on the other faces of the latter.
- a pharmaceutical prescription label which consists of two layers of paper one of which is attached to the package and the other is positioned on it but can be removed to be glued to another medium such as the prescription.
- Such a label makes it possible during the renewals of prescriptions to take the label of the packaging to put it on the prescription so that there is no ambiguity on the product for the pharmacist.
- the identifiers of the label that are mentioned may be the trade name of the product and the prescribed dosage as well as an identification bar code.
- the document FR 2 815 158 proposes a labeling system for substitution aid for pharmaceutical products.
- the label described comprises means of identification of the generic specialty, these means of identification being the name of the generic specialty.
- the label includes the name of the drug, the code and other legal notices and has two detachable parts each with the name of the said drug.
- the pharmacist can therefore detach a component with the name of the drug and paste it on the prescription at the level of the pharmaceutical specialty that is substituted by this generic drug.
- the patient can have the name of the substitute medication on his prescription.
- a pharmaceutical prescription labeling device obtained by a method of manufacturing such a label is proposed.
- This method therefore makes it possible to receive a request to fulfill the prescription of a patient for a pharmaceutical product, to access an identification database comprising identification images, to remove a specific identification image of the prescription. from said database and print a label including the specific identification image.
- These identification images consist of the image of the patient, the image of the drug interacting with the prescribed drug and which must not be taken with, an image or an illustration of the pharmaceutical product, for example the pill or capsule or package that identifies a pharmaceutical product prescribed by its appearance or the appearance of its packaging and the prescription, the physician's name, the pharmacist.
- Such a label is therefore produced each time specifically to mark a package not identified beforehand and containing the prescription prepared by the pharmacist.
- Such a label is therefore intended only to identify the container and what it contains by placing on said label the prescribed prescription.
- Such a label manufacturing process can only be applied to drugs packaged in pharmacies. Indeed, such a labeling device is generally used in the Anglo-Saxon drug delivery system, that is to say in a system where the pharmacist prepares a bottle containing the number of tablets required for prescription and requiring so a particular labeling that can then have as many identification elements as desired. Such a label is intended to remain on the bottle or the box containing the drugs and must not be removed from the latter, which, in general, does not include any other indication of identification. Accordingly, such a label can not be used for affixing an order to make it clearly legible. Indeed, if this label was detached from the bottle, it would then be unidentifiable that may then entail risks to the health of the user.
- the purpose of the present invention is to propose a simple solution allowing a rapid and safe identification of the drugs prescribed on a prescription, whether it is legible or no, whether the prescribed drugs have been replaced or not by generics.
- the subject of the invention is a label intended to be joined to a product such as a medicament, pharmaceutical products, parapharmaceutical products, phytosanitary products and the like, said label having on its upper face identification elements of said product and being provided on its opposite side of appropriate adhesive means to allow the apposition of said label on a support detachably, characterized in that the identification elements of the label are obtained by identical reproduction of the packaging.
- this label or still according to the invention comprising, reproduced above, a "photograph" of the packaging of the product, allows the pharmacist or the patient or any other person to take the label attached to the product for the stick on the prescription next to the corresponding prescription line indicating in particular the dosage.
- This provides a clear, direct and unambiguous visual correspondence between the prescription line containing the label and the product.
- identification elements identical to the identification elements provided on the packaging of the product, reproduced in identical manner, namely, the same colors, the same arrangement, the same graphic design, However, this reproduction is identical but preferably on a reduced scale.
- a product such as a medicament may be contained in a container such as a bottle carrying a label affixed to it, the container possibly being contained in a package, for example cardboard box, additional exterior.
- the identification elements of the product of the label are obtained by reproducing identically at least the main face of the packaging constituting the outer packaging of the product, comprising in particular the commercial name of the product.
- the identification elements of the product are obtained by identical reproduction of the label comprising in particular the trade name and affixed to a container when the product is enclosed in a container such as than bottle, bottle or the like.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne une étiquette destinée à être jointe à des produits pharmaceutiques, parapharmaceutiques, phytosanitaires et similaires.The present invention relates to a label intended to be attached to pharmaceutical, parapharmaceutical, phytosanitary and similar products.
A l'issue d'une consultation chez un médecin, par exemple, celui-ci émet une ordonnance dans laquelle il identifie les différents médicaments ou produits nécessaires pour le traitement ainsi que leur posologie. Il s'est avéré, que dans certains cas, l'écriture du praticien ayant délivré l'ordonnance est difficile à déchiffrer. Par conséquent, il s'ensuit alors pour le patient une difficulté à respecter ladite prescription, en effet le plus souvent, seule la posologie apparaît clairement alors que le nom du médicament concerné n'est pas déchiffrable.After a consultation with a doctor, for example, the doctor issues a prescription in which he identifies the different drugs or products needed for the treatment and their dosage. It turned out that, in some cases, the writing of the practitioner who issued the prescription is difficult to decipher. Therefore, it follows then for the patient a difficulty to comply with said prescription, in fact most often, only the dosage appears clearly while the name of the drug concerned is not decipherable.
Ainsi, le pharmacien qui délivre au patient les différents médicaments, indique le plus souvent sur les boîtes la posologie à respecter. Toutefois, il existe alors un premier risque d'erreur dans la prescription entre la lecture de l'ordonnance et le report sur l'emballage du médicament, puis le deuxième problème pouvant survenir est la perte de l'emballage avec la posologie indiquée. De ce fait, le patient se retrouve avec son ordonnance difficilement lisible voire illisible comme seule source d'informations pour suivre son traitement.Thus, the pharmacist who delivers to the patient the various drugs, indicates most often on the boxes the dosage to be respected. However, there is then a first risk of error in the prescription between the reading of the prescription and the postponement on the packaging of the drug, then the second problem that may arise is the loss of the package with the indicated dosage. As a result, the patient is left with a prescription that is difficult to read or even illegible as the only source of information to follow his treatment.
Or d'autres problèmes peuvent également survenir. En effet, à l'heure actuelle, on délivre fréquemment à la place du médicament prescrit un médicament générique similaire et souvent moins onéreux. Il s'ensuit que le patient se retrouve en possession d'un médicament dont le nom commercial n'est pas celui indiqué sur son ordonnance. Ainsi, si le pharmacien a inscrit sur l'emballage la posologie, ce qui n'est pas systématique, et que cet emballage est perdu, le patient ne sait plus à quel médicament prescrit correspond le médicament en sa possession. La seule solution est donc de retourner voir le pharmacien pour qu'il lui reprécise le traitement à suivre compte tenu de son ordonnance. Ceci n'est pas toujours simple pour un patient.But other problems can also arise. Indeed, currently, instead of the prescribed drug is frequently issued a generic drug similar and often less expensive. It follows that the patient is in possession of a drug whose commercial name is not the one indicated on his prescription. Thus, if the pharmacist has written on the package the dosage, which is not systematic, and that this package is lost, the patient no longer knows what prescription drug corresponds to the drug in his possession. The only solution is to return to see the pharmacist to re-detail the treatment to follow given his prescription. This is not always easy for a patient.
En effet, l'étiquetage apposé sur les médicaments délivrés sur ordonnance ont pour but de le décrire et de l'identifier, de manière à contribuer à un résultat thérapeutique optimal et d'éviter toute erreur de posologie.The purpose of the labeling on prescription drugs is to describe and identify it, so as to contribute to an optimal therapeutic result and to avoid any error in dosage.
Ainsi, l'emballage du médicament présente de manière classique une face principale sur laquelle sont imprimés les éléments d'identification du produit tels que la dénomination commerciale, le nom du laboratoire pharmaceutique et d'autres éléments variés, comme des logos, des éléments figuratifs ou abstraits de décoration, qui aident notamment à une reconnaissance visuelle d'ensemble du produit (nom, couleurs, formes) etc. Cependant, sur une autre face de l'emballage, est généralement apposée une étiquette détachable, le nom commercial dudit médicament, sa forme galénique, son prix, y étant mentionnés tandis que des indications de traçabilité ainsi qu'un éventuel code barre, les informations relatives à la composition, le mode et la voie d'administration, les indications thérapeutiques sont en général portées par l'emballage lui-même sur les autres faces de ce dernier.Thus, the packaging of the medicament conventionally has a main surface on which are printed the product identification elements such as the trade name, the name of the pharmaceutical laboratory and other various elements, such as logos, figurative elements. or abstract decoration, which help in particular to a visual recognition of the whole product (name, colors, shapes) etc. However, on another side of the packaging, is generally affixed a detachable label, the commercial name of said drug, its dosage form, its price, mentioned therein while traceability indications and a possible bar code, the information Regarding the composition, the mode and the route of administration, the therapeutic indications are generally carried by the package itself on the other faces of the latter.
On se retrouve donc toujours avec le médicament et son emballage d'un côté et l'ordonnance portant la prescription de l'autre.So we always end up with the drug and its packaging on one side and the prescription prescription of the other.

Toutefois, dans les deux dispositifs d'étiquetage évoqués ci-dessus, se pose également le problème de l'identification des médicaments par leur nom pour les personnes illettrées ou de langue étrangère.However, in the two labeling schemes mentioned above, there is also the problem of identifying drugs by name for illiterate or foreign-language people.
On a proposé également de régler le problème autrement. Ainsi, dans
Un tel procédé de fabrication d'étiquette ne peut s'appliquer qu'à des médicaments conditionnés en pharmacie. En effet, un tel dispositif d'étiquetage est généralement utilisé dans le système anglo-saxon de délivrance de médicament, c'est-à-dire dans un système où le pharmacien prépare un flacon comportant le nombre de comprimés nécessaires à la prescription et nécessitant donc un étiquetage particulier qui peut alors comporter autant d'éléments d'identification que souhaité. Une telle étiquette a pour vocation de rester sur le flacon ou la boîte renfermant les médicaments et ne doit surtout pas être retirée de ce dernier qui, en général, ne comporte aucune autre indication d'identification. En conséquence, une telle étiquette ne peut être utilisée en vue d'une apposition sur une ordonnance pour rendre celle-ci clairement lisible. En effet, si cette étiquette était détachée du flacon, celui-ci serait alors non identifiable pouvant entraîner alors des risques pour la santé du l'utilisateur.Such a label manufacturing process can only be applied to drugs packaged in pharmacies. Indeed, such a labeling device is generally used in the Anglo-Saxon drug delivery system, that is to say in a system where the pharmacist prepares a bottle containing the number of tablets required for prescription and requiring so a particular labeling that can then have as many identification elements as desired. Such a label is intended to remain on the bottle or the box containing the drugs and must not be removed from the latter, which, in general, does not include any other indication of identification. Accordingly, such a label can not be used for affixing an order to make it clearly legible. Indeed, if this label was detached from the bottle, it would then be unidentifiable that may then entail risks to the health of the user.
Pour tous les médicaments fabriqués, conditionnés et emballés par les laboratoires pharmaceutiques, et distribués ensuite en pharmacie, une telle étiquette ne peut être envisagée.For all drugs manufactured, packaged and packaged by pharmaceutical companies, and then distributed in pharmacies, such a label can not be considered.
Afin de résoudre ces problèmes relativement nombreux et qui entraînent pour les patients un risque pour leur santé, la présente invention a pour but de proposer une solution simple permettant une identification rapide et sûre des médicaments prescrits sur une ordonnance, que celle-ci soit lisible ou non, que les médicaments prescrits aient été remplacés ou non par des génériques.In order to solve these relatively numerous problems and which pose a risk to the patients for their health, the purpose of the present invention is to propose a simple solution allowing a rapid and safe identification of the drugs prescribed on a prescription, whether it is legible or no, whether the prescribed drugs have been replaced or not by generics.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet une étiquette destinée à être jointe à un produit tel que médicament, produits pharmaceutiques, parapharmaceutiques, phytosanitaires et similaires, ladite étiquette présentant sur sa face supérieure des éléments d'identification dudit produit et étant pourvue sur sa face opposée de moyens adhésifs appropriés pour permettre l'apposition de ladite étiquette sur un support de manière détachable, caractérisée en ce que les éléments d'identification de l'étiquette sont obtenus par reproduction à l'identique du conditionnement.To this end, the subject of the invention is a label intended to be joined to a product such as a medicament, pharmaceutical products, parapharmaceutical products, phytosanitary products and the like, said label having on its upper face identification elements of said product and being provided on its opposite side of appropriate adhesive means to allow the apposition of said label on a support detachably, characterized in that the identification elements of the label are obtained by identical reproduction of the packaging.
Ainsi de manière très avantageuse, cette étiquette ou encore vignette selon l'invention comportant, reproduite dessus, une « photographie » du conditionnement du produit, permet au pharmacien ou au patient ou à toute autre personne de prendre l'étiquette jointe au produit pour la coller sur l'ordonnance en regard de la ligne de prescription correspondante indiquant notamment la posologie. On obtient ainsi une correspondance visuelle claire, directe et sans ambiguïté entre la ligne de prescription comportant l'étiquette et le produit.Thus very advantageously, this label or still according to the invention comprising, reproduced above, a "photograph" of the packaging of the product, allows the pharmacist or the patient or any other person to take the label attached to the product for the stick on the prescription next to the corresponding prescription line indicating in particular the dosage. This provides a clear, direct and unambiguous visual correspondence between the prescription line containing the label and the product.
On peut donc avoir sur l'étiquette selon l'invention des éléments d'identification identiques aux éléments d'identification prévus sur l'emballage du produit, reproduits de manière identique à savoir, les mêmes couleurs, le même agencement, le même graphisme, etc....Toutefois, cette reproduction se présente identique mais de préférence à une échelle réduite.It is therefore possible to have on the label according to the invention identification elements identical to the identification elements provided on the packaging of the product, reproduced in identical manner, namely, the same colors, the same arrangement, the same graphic design, However, this reproduction is identical but preferably on a reduced scale.
De manière classique, un produit tel qu'un médicament peut être contenu dans un récipient tel un flacon portant une étiquette apposée dessus, le récipient pouvant éventuellement être contenu dans un emballage, par exemple boîte en carton, extérieur supplémentaire.In a conventional manner, a product such as a medicament may be contained in a container such as a bottle carrying a label affixed to it, the container possibly being contained in a package, for example cardboard box, additional exterior.
Il existe également d'autres conditionnements d'un produit tel qu'un médicament faisant appel à des conditionnements dits intérieurs tels que plaquettes alvéolées renfermant un comprimé ou pilule, sachet renfermant une poudre ou un comprimé, flacon, bouteille, etc. qui sont ensuite renfermés dans un conditionnement dit extérieur, le plus souvent constitué d'un emballage tel qu'une boîte.There are also other packaging of a product such as a drug using so-called inner packaging such as blister packs containing a tablet or pill, sachet containing a powder or a tablet, bottle, bottle, etc. which are then enclosed in an outer packaging, usually consisting of a package such as a box.
Selon une première forme de réalisation de l'invention, les éléments d'identification du produit de l'étiquette sont obtenus par reproduction à l'identique d'au moins la face principale de l'emballage constituant le conditionnement extérieur du produit, comprenant notamment la dénomination commerciale du produit.According to a first embodiment of the invention, the identification elements of the product of the label are obtained by reproducing identically at least the main face of the packaging constituting the outer packaging of the product, comprising in particular the commercial name of the product.
Selon une deuxième forme de réalisation de l'invention, les éléments d'identification du produit sont obtenus par reproduction à l'identique de l'étiquette comprenant en particulier la dénomination commerciale et apposée sur un récipient lorsque le produit est renfermé dans un récipient tel que flacon, bouteille ou similaire.According to a second embodiment of the invention, the identification elements of the product are obtained by identical reproduction of the label comprising in particular the trade name and affixed to a container when the product is enclosed in a container such as than bottle, bottle or the like.
Selon une troisième forme de réalisation de l'invention, les éléments d'identification du produit sont obtenus par reproduction à l'identique des éléments d'identification du conditionnement intérieur du produit, tel que, flacon, plaquette alvéolée renfermant les pilules ou comprimés, visibles ou non, sachets, présentés de manière identique.According to a third embodiment of the invention, the identification elements of the product are obtained by identical reproduction of the identification elements of the product's internal packaging, such as, vial, blister pack containing the pills or tablets, visible or not, sachets, presented in an identical way.
Ainsi non seulement il peut y avoir reprise de la dénomination commerciale mais également de tout l'aspect visuel (couleurs, graphisme, etc.) de ce conditionnement intérieur et/ou extérieur du produit constitué par l'emballage, l'étiquette, la plaquette alvéolée, etc., permettant une identification visuelle directe sans même avoir besoin de savoir lire. En effet, les emballages, étiquettes, flacons et autres peuvent présenter un graphisme, des couleurs spécifiques et autres, constituant des éléments d'identification visuelle, en plus de la dénomination commerciale du produit concerné.Thus not only can the commercial name be taken over but also all the visual aspect (colors, graphics, etc.) of this inner and / or outer packaging of the product constituted by the packaging, the label, the wafer alveolate, etc., allowing direct visual identification without even needing to read. Indeed, the packaging, labels, bottles and others may have a graphic, specific colors and others, constituting elements of visual identification, in addition to the commercial name of the product concerned.
Ainsi, une fois que l'étiquette selon l'invention jointe au produit et comportant une reproduction à l'identique du conditionnement du produit visé est rapportée sur l'ordonnance et ce, pour chaque produit listé, la lecture de l'ordonnance, au moins en ce qui concerne les produits à utiliser pour le traitement, se fait directement par reconnaissance du conditionnement des produits à l'aide des étiquettes de l'invention apposées sur l'ordonnance. La reprise à l'identique de l'ensemble des moyens d'identification visuelle du conditionnement du produit par reproduction sur une étiquette évite tout risque de confusion entre les différents produits portés par une même ordonnance.Thus, once the label according to the invention attached to the product and comprising an identical reproduction of the packaging of the product concerned is reported on the order and for each product listed, reading the order, at less with regard to the products to be used for the treatment, is done directly by recognition of the packaging of products using the labels of the invention affixed to the prescription. The identical recovery of all means of visual identification of the packaging of the product by reproduction on a label avoids any risk of confusion between the different products carried by the same order.
De manière très avantageuse, lorsqu'on donne un médicament générique à la place du médicament prescrit, l'étiquette selon l'invention jointe audit médicament générique et positionnable en regard de la ligne correspondant à la prescription du médicament remplacé par le générique, permet de l'identifier de manière claire et formelle puisqu'elle constitue une reproduction à l'identique du conditionnement dudit médicament générique.Very advantageously, when a generic drug is given instead of the prescribed drug, the label according to the invention attached to said generic drug and positionable next to the line corresponding to the prescription of the drug replaced by the generic, allows to identify it clearly and formally since it constitutes an identical reproduction of the packaging of said generic drug.
Ainsi, le patient grâce à l'étiquette selon l'invention sait quel médicament prescrit a été remplacé par le médicament générique sans qu'il soit nécessaire pour lui de connaître le principe actif concerné.Thus, the patient with the label according to the invention knows which drug has been replaced by the generic drug without it being necessary for him to know the active ingredient concerned.
Ainsi, l'étiquette ou vignette selon l'invention portant une reproduction à l'identique du conditionnement d'un produit permet de simplifier la lecture des ordonnances lorsque celles-ci sont peu lisibles, permet d'identifier les médicaments génériques ayant substitué les médicaments prescrits et donc permet de garantir une meilleure prise des médicaments par le patient en limitant les risques d'erreur de posologie.Thus, the label or label according to the invention bearing an identical reproduction of the packaging of a product makes it possible to simplify the reading of the prescriptions when they are not very readable, makes it possible to identify the generic drugs having substituted the prescribed drugs and thus helps ensure better medication intake by the patient by limiting the risk of dosage error.
De préférence, les éléments d'identification sont obtenus par impression d'une reproduction à l'identique du conditionnement sur la face supérieure de l'étiquette, sa face opposée étant pourvue de moyens adhésifs lui permettant d'être collée directement sur le conditionnement du produit, ou sur un support joint au conditionnement (le support pouvant être inséré dans le conditionnement ou éventuellement collé dessus), lesdits moyens adhésifs étant appropriés pour permettre le décollage de ladite étiquette et son collage ensuite sur un support autre tel qu'une ordonnance.Preferably, the identification elements are obtained by printing an identical reproduction of the packaging on the upper face of the label, its opposite face being provided with adhesive means allowing it to be glued directly onto the packaging of the packaging. product, or on a support attached to the packaging (the support can be inserted into the packaging or possibly glued on), said adhesive means being suitable for allowing the takeoff of said label and its subsequent gluing on a different support such as a prescription.
De manière avantageuse, on peut prévoir qu'un produit tel qu'un médicament comporte au moins une étiquette selon l'invention, mais il peut en posséder également deux l'une reprenant en tant qu'éléments d'identification, le conditionnement extérieur du produit (face principale de l'emballage) et l'autre le conditionnement intérieur du produit (plaquette alvéolée par exemple).Advantageously, it is possible for a product such as a medicament to comprise at least one label according to the invention, but it may also have two of them, one of which, as identification elements, includes the external packaging of the product. product (main face of the packaging) and the other the inner packaging of the product (blister pack for example).
On décrira maintenant l'invention plus en détail en référence au dessin dans lequel :
- la figure 1 représente une vue en perspective du dessus d'un emballage de produit pharmaceutique ;
- la figure 2 représente une vue de dessous de l'emballage de la figure 1 sur lequel est apposée une étiquette selon l'invention ; et
- la figure 3 représente une vue de dessus d'une ordonnance comportant une étiquette selon l'invention.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view from above of a pharmaceutical product package;
- Figure 2 shows a bottom view of the package of Figure 1 on which is affixed a label according to the invention; and
- FIG. 3 represents a view from above of a prescription comprising a label according to the invention.
Un conditionnement extérieur de médicament tel qu'une boîte d'emballage de médicament 1 est représenté à la figure 1 et présente une face principale comportant la dénomination commerciale 2 du produit, ainsi que le nombre de comprimés renfermés 3, le poids 4 de chaque comprimé, le nom du laboratoire pharmaceutique fabricant 5 ainsi que des éléments de graphisme tels qu'une bande 6 de couleur différente du fond 7. Cet ensemble d'éléments constitue des moyens d'identification visuelle du produit.An outer packaging of medicine such as a
Comme on peut le voir à la figure 2, la face de l'emballage 1 opposée à la face principale dudit emballage comporte d'autres informations relatives au produit concerné telles qu'une vignette 8 détachable comportant la dénomination commerciale du produit ainsi que son prix, son taux de remboursement par l'administration, et d'autres informations permettant notamment la traçabilité du produit. Sur cette face opposée de l'emballage peut également être imprimé un code barre 9 renfermant des informations sur le produit également. On prévoit en outre sur cette face opposée une étiquette 10 selon l'invention. Cette étiquette 10 comporte des éléments d'identification du produit obtenus par reproduction à l'identique du conditionnement du produit, qui en reprenant le graphisme, la couleur, etc., c'est-à-dire l'ensemble des moyens d'identification visuelle du conditionnement du produit, permet une reconnaissance directe et visuelle de celui-ci, ici la face principale de l'emballage visible à la figure 1.As can be seen in FIG. 2, the face of the
Cette étiquette 10 se présente de préférence avec sa face supérieure visible comportant la reproduction, sa face inférieure étant pourvue de moyens adhésifs lui permettant d'être collée soit directement sur l'emballage 1, soit sur un support collé à l'emballage 1, ou encore sur un support inséré dans l'emballage 1, les moyens adhésifs étant appropriés pour permettre le décollage de ladite étiquette 10 de l'emballage 1 ou de son support et autoriser son collage ensuite sur un support autre tel qu'une ordonnance 11 comme cela est représenté à la figure 3.This
Ainsi, on appose l'étiquette 10 selon l'invention pour le produit XYXYXY en regard de la ligne de prescription correspondante sur l'ordonnance 11. Une autre étiquette 12 selon l'invention concernant un autre produit prescrit ZZZBZ est elle collée sur l'ordonnance 11 en regard de la ligne de prescription correspondante.Thus, the
De cette manière on améliore grandement la lisibilité des ordonnances par une reconnaissance visuelle directe du conditionnement du médicament et on limite les risques d'erreur dans la prise du traitement.In this way, the readability of the prescriptions is greatly improved by a direct visual recognition of the packaging of the drug and the risks of error in the treatment are limited.
Bien entendu, l'exemple donné ne l'est qu'à titre indicatif et l'invention ne peut être nullement limitée à cet exemple. En particulier, une étiquette selon l'invention peut également être utilisée pour des produits de parapharmacie, des produits phytosanitaires, etc, pouvant donner lieu à une prescription.Of course, the example given is only indicative and the invention can not be limited to this example. In particular, a label according to the invention may also be used for parapharmacy products, phytosanitary products, etc., which may give rise to a prescription.
