Apparatus and use for storing and providing drug wafers

Description:

Field of the invention

The invention relates to a device and a use for storing and providing pharmaceutical wafem, d h of medicaments in layer form, in particular for contraception or for hormone replacement therapy

State of the art

Drug wafers are film-like devices containing active pharmaceutical ingredients contained in a drug carrier. The active substances in the wafers can be administered, for example, transmucosally, ie via the oral mucosa, by placing the wafers on or under the tongue, whereby the active ingredient carrier The wafers are provided enclosed in foil pouches. According to DE 101 59 746 B4, these pouches can consist of at least one carrier foil and at least one cover foil, wherein at least the flatly larger foil has two parallel side edges and wherein between the carrier foil and the cover sheet, the sheet or sheet-like material (wafer) is gas- and moisture-tight enclosed devices for storing and providing the drug wafers may contain stacked foil pockets therein

The device for storing and providing the wafers described in DE 101 59 746 B4 comprises an at least single-split housing, against which the lateral edges of the stacked foil pockets abut, while on a front inner side the edge of a carrier foil rests over the edge of a corresponding foil Cover film protrudes and with the stacked film pockets spring-loaded pressed against the upper inside of the housing The front, upper portion of the housing has two slots for separately dispensing the carrier film and the cover film, wherein the wafer can be provided with the carrier film or with the cover film. Between the slots, a separating tool for separating the carrier film from the cover sheet is arranged, against which the uppermost carrier film rests with its lying in front of the front edge of the cover sheet area. To transport the drug pockets from the housing serves a rotatable about a rotation axis transport element.

This device has the disadvantage that a user does not receive any control as to whether or not a prescribed intake for a certain period of time has already been followed. Therefore, it can easily come to a double intake, or the user ever forgets to take the wafer.

However, such controls are known for drug blisters, i. for facilities for storing tablets, dragees, etc., in which the tablets, dragees o.a. contained in pockets embossed in a first film and the film is connected to a tearable second film closing the pockets.

For example, in EP 0 166 763 B1 a blister is provided with pockets for the tablets arranged in a row, the pockets corresponding in one-to-one to the days of at least one calendar month, further comprising sequential integer numerical indications arranged in a one-to-one relation near the pockets in that each pocket is visually identifiable with one and only one calendar day of the calendar month, and wherein consecutive integer numerical indicia of near rupturable zones in the second sheet are arranged to be visible on the second sheet from the back, and wherein each Zone is visually identifiable with one and only one calendar day of the calendar month. This allows each pocket to be visually identified from both the front and back with one and only one calendar day. Thus, the removal of tablets on a daily basis and compliance with user compliance can be facilitated.

Furthermore, EP 0 511 726 B1 describes an arrangement for receiving tablets in a field, comprising: a blister pack having a predetermined area in which a plurality of tablets configured in a selected field are located, a container for holding the blister pack and a Daily calendar that can be aligned to the field of tablets in the blister pack, with the daily calendar being shiftable to one to position a selected starting day on a first tablet in the field of tablets, and wherein pointers are provided on the container and the blister pack has a locating notch close to and in proximity to a first tablet so that the first tablet to be withdrawn is displayed.

Furthermore, DE 10 2005 032 015 A1 discloses a case for receiving a blister pack which has a first and a second half hinged thereto. The first Etuihälfte is designed as a pocket for receiving the blister pack and has an outer part and an inner visible part and first openings in the visible part and second openings in the outer part, wherein the first openings are aligned with the second openings, at least where the containers for the tablets are in the blister pack after picking up in the bag. The second half of the case has a compartment for receiving a display of the days of the week and windows for displaying the days of the week in an inner visible area of the second half of the compartment in the area of the compartment, wherein the windows are arranged such that they correspond to the columns of the containers of a pocket Blister pack are assigned.

However, these embodiments of devices for storing and providing drug units involve tablets in blister packs, but not drug wafers in drug pockets.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a device for storing and providing drug wafers.

Another object of the present invention is to ensure that the wafers are safely taken out of the device at a predetermined rate, i. the device is suitable for allowing the user (s) to control the prescription of a drug wafer over a certain period of time.

Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a device for storing and providing the drug wafers which is suitable for everyday use, which has the required mechanical stability and which can be produced easily and simply and thus inexpensively. Yet another object of the present invention is to provide secure storage for the drug wafers.

Summary of the invention

These and other objects are achieved by the present invention.

Typically, a drug pocket of the inventive device consists of a base sheet and a cover sheet. The cover film can be connected, for example glued, to the base film by way of a preferably strip-shaped connection extending along the side edges of the cover film. Furthermore, in a particularly preferred embodiment, the base film and the cover film may each have on each at least one side edge protruding tabs which are not connected to each other. Thus, a pulling apart and thus opening the drug bag for removing the wafer contained therein is greatly simplified, because the two films can be easily grasped. A drug wafer is enclosed between the base sheet and the coversheet within an area formed by the bond.

The device according to the invention, which is used for storing and providing drug wafers, contains drug pockets arranged in a pocket stack with drug wafers contained therein. In the device, a carrier is arranged substantially parallel to an edge of the drug pockets. In order to give the user the possibility to check whether a drug intake intended for a given period of time has already been completed, a time stamp is affixed to the carrier and a marking is affixed to each drug bag, so that one on the other in the bag stack following markings on the carrier are aligned with successive times.

The fact that the drug pockets are arranged in the device in a stack of bags and provided with mutually staggered markings and preferably and arranged substantially parallel to an edge of the drug pockets on a carrier display means for timings for taking the wafer, a (e) Always check if a wafer has been taken in a current intake period or if this is not the case. Detailed description of the invention

For attachment of the drug pockets with the wafers contained therein in the device, the drug pockets may preferably be connected to the edge of the carrier. •

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the carrier is formed by stacks of sheets arranged in a stack of sheets. These staples are connected to each other at least in the region of a respective first sheet edge. Further, in this case, each drug pouch is associated with one of the leaflet sheets over a respective second sheet edge opposite the first sheet edge, which also includes integrally forming the leaflet sheets with the drug pouches, i. The medicine bags are widened at one edge and form at this widened edge in each case the Heftblätter. In this embodiment, the times are applied to a staple sheet lying in the top of the sheet stack along its second sheet edge or on a tab covering the staple sheet above, which together then form the support.

Alternatively, the carrier may also be disposed adjacent to a first edge of the drug pouches opposite to a second edge of the drug pouches at which the drug pouches with the pellicle sheets overlay a respective second sheet edge opposite the first sheet edge of the pellicle sheets Staples are connected.

The drug pouches with the wafers contained therein are stacked by the chosen design of the device as in a booklet or book and can be sequentially preferably removed from above. By each of the top pocket is removed in a first intake period, the underlying bag in the stack is visible. This underlying pocket can then be removed during a subsequent second intake period. The other pockets with the wafers can be removed according to the order of the pockets in the stack. The pockets are each connected to staples and are held over these in the stack. For removal, a pocket in one embodiment may be removed from the staple sheet to which it is attached by severing it. In an alternative embodiment, each bag may be removed from the stack along with the associated staple sheet, such as by tearing or stapling. By on a carrier, for example, on a staple sheet lying in the top of the sheet stack along the second sheet edge time and on each of the drug bags a mark are mounted so that the attached to the drug bags markers are aligned with the times, the / can User must always determine if a bag with a wafer has been removed from the stack during the current collection period and the wafer has been ingested or if it is not. This can be seen from the fact that the mark located on the bag is aligned with a certain time on the next arranged carrier, preferably overhead stapling sheet. As a result, the user (in) recognizes whether the current time falls within the time period indicated by the time or whether this is not the case. By aligning the markers on successively-spaced pockets in the pocket stack, by removing an overhead pocket from the pocket stack, a mark on the underlying pocket becomes visible, offset by one unit of time, indicating that it will be taken in the next take period becomes. With this structure of the assignment of individual bags to the time information on the booklets safe compliance with the intake behavior is easily achievable, since the user at the mark on the top pocket together with the times on the carrier or along the sheet edge always can recognize whether currently a wafer must be taken and taken.

Forms a stack of sheets the carrier, are in a first embodiment in which each bag is removed from the associated stapling sheet by separating from the stack, times only on an overhead stapling sheet, since only this overhead staple sheet is always visible. In a second embodiment, in which a stack of sheets forms the carrier and in which each pocket is removed from the stack together with the associated stapling sheet, not only the stapling sheet above, but each staple sheet which is connected to a pocket, with the Times are provided, since the sheets are removed when removing the bags each with. In this case, the carrier is formed in each case by the current top staple sheet together with all the remaining stapling sheets. However, since the time information in the latter case must be applied to all booklets, the first embodiment is preferable to the second embodiment.

In a preferred further embodiment of the invention, each drug pocket is separably connected to one of the staple sheets, for example by a perforation. This will allow the pockets to be easily removed from the stack, such as through Tearing out. Each of the pockets can be made with an associated booklet sheet in one unit, such as by the components of the pockets (base film, cover film) are made widened on one side. This formed by the widening part corresponds to the booklet.

When the wafers are to be taken daily, in a preferred embodiment, the times are weekdays or calendar days, the latter represented by the numbering of the days of a month. Weekday data have the advantage over the calendar day data, on the one hand, that the repetition rhythm takes place more frequently than in the latter. This allows for easier attachment of time information on the carrier or an overhead leaflet, since for the first day only the appropriate day of the week must be selected from all seven days of the week, while in the case of calendar days the appropriate calendar day from 28, 29, 30 or 31 Calendar days must be selected. On the other hand, in the case of calendar days, at least as many calendar days are to be affixed to the carrier or topmost stapling sheet (depending on the month, however, not more than 28, 29, 30 or 31 statements), as pockets are contained in the stack, since a repetition of the calendar day information only with the beginning of a new month. In addition, depending on the month, it should be noted that the length may be 28, 29, 30 or 31 days. This can easily lead to incorrect operation of the device. Therefore, the times are preferably weekdays. In this case, very particular preference is given to seven weekday indications on the carrier, preferably on the stapling sheet lying in the top of the sheet stack.

The weekdays, calendar days or other times are preferably applied at the beginning of a take-up phase of the wafers on the carrier, preferably the overhead stapling sheet. For this purpose, the user (s) brings the time information on the carrier, preferably along the sheet edge, so that the time of the first intake period, about the first intake day, either at the top, depending on the sequence of markings on the successive drug bags or at the bottom and following times, such as weekday, below, and above, of course, keeping the grid of markings on the medicine bags for the application of time so that the times are aligned with the marks.

The time information is preferably displayed on the carrier, in particular along the second sheet edge, by applying a time-indicative display means to the carrier applied. For example, a display strip containing the times can be attached by insertion into a holder on the carrier or by sticking to the carrier. The holder may be, for example, a slot in the carrier which has windows in the region of the time indications applied to the inserted display strip, which releases the view of the times and allows the association with a mark aligned therewith on the overhead medicine bag.

For example, such a display strip may initially have about twice as many successive times as can be accommodated on the sheet edge in order to be able to prepare the display strip for mounting on the carrier in a suitable manner. After determining the time period for the first capture of a wafer, the associated time indication on the display strip is assigned to the upper or lower position on the carrier and the length of the display strip then, based on this determined time indication, reduced to the length range of the available length corresponds to the carrier. For example, the display strip for attachment to the carrier may be kinked or trimmed above or below the time of first taking. Upwards or downwards protruding parts of the display strip can also be bent or cut off. The thus prepared display strip is then mounted in the holder on the carrier, for example, inserted into this or clamped there, or glued to the carrier so that the times are aligned with the markings on the drug bags.

Of course, the time information can be applied to the carrier also by hand.

The stapling sheets are preferably joined together by clamping, gluing, stapling or a ring or a spiral binding. Basically, of course, other types of connections are conceivable. The sheets can be connected to each other, for example, by surface bonding, such as sticking together, in the region of its edge. As a result, an intimate and firm connection of the individual sheets is achieved with each other. In another embodiment, the stitching sheets may be hinged together. The latter is achieved by connecting the staples exclusively or substantially over the edges of the first sheet edge. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the sheets are connected to each other by a ring binding or a spiral binding, as in a notebook, or hinged together. Furthermore, to protect against external mechanical or other effects on at least one side of the bag stack, an additional cover may be attached, for example, on the carrier or on the side opposite the carrier of the bag stack. This lid can rest against the pocket stack when closed. In one embodiment, the lid may be fastened to the carrier, particularly preferably articulated, and in another embodiment on the side of the pocket stack opposite the carrier. The lid may be provided primarily for the protection of drug bags. The lid is preferably made of a stable material, such as cardboard or plastic. On the lid may also be attached a label or a logo or a different design, which does not fulfill exclusively or no functional purposes but also or exclusively aesthetic purposes.

Further, on one side of the pocket stack there may be provided a lid connected thereto in the region of the carrier which engages over both sides of the pocket stack by being folded back on a side edge of the drug pockets opposite the carrier. For example, such a lid can be folded or folded from a cardboard or plastic sheet. The lid may be connected by one of its edges to the carrier and spaced therefrom and preferably parallel to a fold, which allows the Rückfalzung over the bag stack. The cover can thus completely cover both the front and the back of the bag stack and thus protect it effectively. The fold in the lid is preferably designed to be broad enough to comfortably encase the thickness of the pocket stack. The top bag is protected in the closed state of the lid from the free folded back front portion of the lid, while the rear part of the lid, which is connected to the carrier protects the back of the bag stack. Furthermore, in the region in which it is connected to the carrier, the lid can be folded over the connection point to the front and over the stack of sheets and cover it there. Thus, in this case, the carrier is formed by the sheet stack and the lid folded around. This also protects the stack of sheets from mechanical damage. Therefore, the time indications according to the present invention may be placed on a tab on the stack of sheets instead of on the stack of sheets, which results from the folding of the lid over the stack of sheets. The sheet stack and the tab in this case together form the carrier. Such structures are known, for example, from matchbooks. Their production is simple and efficient. Alternatively, the cover which engages over both sides of the device can also be fastened to the device on the side of the pocket stack opposite the stack of sheets and be folded back over the side on which the stack of sheets is arranged. In this case, the carrier may be arranged, for example, on the side of the bag stack opposite the stack of sheets, and the fold of the lid forms, for example, the carrier.

The device of the invention may preferably contain 120 drug pockets for containing drug wafers in a pocket stack. Although it has hitherto been customary for contraception to have one intake unit each within 21 days, i. a wafer is taken and followed by an interruption phase of 7 days at this intake phase. However, in modern contraceptive use cycles are scheduled to last longer than 21 days, for example up to 120 days. This prolonged intake phase is then followed by an interruption period of 4 days. In order to be able to provide wafers in sufficient numbers for such a case, 120 drug pockets may be provided in the device.

For a more detailed explanation of the invention serve the figures and examples described below. Of course, the embodiments illustrated in the figures and examples are merely illustrative. A limitation of the protection of the invention is not associated with this illustration. On the contrary, those skilled in the art will be made aware of the illustrated specific variants of the invention by the following description, as well as other variants of the invention, not shown, which can easily be found.

Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a first embodiment of the invention; Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of a second embodiment of the invention in the open state, Fig. 3 shows a perspective view of the second embodiment of the invention in the closed state; Fig. 4 shows a perspective view of a third embodiment of the invention.

Like reference numerals in the figures indicate the same features.

1 shows a device according to the invention for storing and providing goods. The device consists of a cover 2, for example made of plastic, and a plurality of drug pouches 1 in which the wafers are enclosed (not shown). At the back of the device, a further lid (not shown) may be arranged to protect the drug pouches 1 against mechanical damage. Each of the medicine pouches 1 has laterally a stapling sheet 3, which is separated at a second sheet edge 3 "from the medicament pouch 1 only by a perforation 4. The perforation 4 serves a medicament pouch 1 as needed from the stapling sheet 3, in order to be able to remove this bag 1 from the device The stapling sheet 3 remains behind This is shown in Fig. 1: The medicament bag 1.1 lying above is already torn away from the stapling sheet 3.1 above, and one underneath The stapled medicament pouch 1.2, which is still connected to the associated stapling sheet (not visible) via the perforation 4, can be provided in the apparatus, for example, 120 medicament pouches 1. The lid 2 has a label which is used, for example, for information on use and to identify the drug and the manufacturer.

The medicine bags 1 with the associated stapling sheets 3 and the cover 2 are connected to each other in the manner of a binding bound with a ring binding. Serve for this purpose first holes 6 in each case a first sheet edge 3 ^{1 of} the Heftblätter 3 to each drug bag 1 and second holes 7 in one of the cover edges 7 ', reach through the rings 5 of the ring bond.

The stapling sheets 3 form a stack of sheets, which forms a carrier 9 for times. For this purpose, time indications are applied to the uppermost stapling sheet 3.1, which are applied to a weekday strip 10. The times in this case represent weekdays, here represented by the letters "M" (Monday), "D" (Tuesday), "M" (Wednesday), "D" (Thursday), "F" (Friday), " S "(Saturday)," S "(Sunday) This weekday strip is in this case affixed to the above stapling sheet 3.1 The weekday" M "for Monday is applied at the bottom and the other day of the week follow chronologically upwards. The weekday "S" for Sunday is the last one in this series, and this selection of the order of weekdays on weekday strip 10 clearly states that the first wafer should be taken on a Monday "D") should be taken, then the weekday strip 10 should have been differently designed glued to the above stapling sheet 3.1, namely in the order (from below): D, F, S, S, M, D, M. The same applies for other revenue rhythms. Therefore, it is preferable to provide a user with a weekday strip 10 for preparation of the device prior to commencement of administration, on which all weekday data are printed approximately twice in the weekday order, so that the user can prepare on the display strip 10 the row of 7 weekday data beginning with the selected start day of the week. The unneeded end portions of the weekday strip 10 are then cut off (or optionally kinked when the strip 10 is mounted in a holder or inserted into a slot).

Marks 20 are also attached to the drug pouches 1. The first medicine bag 1.1 bears a first marking 21, which is aligned with the day of the week "M" = Monday on the weekday strip 10. Thus, the wafer contained in this bag is intended to be taken on a Monday Drug Bag 1.1 Visible below underlying medicine bag 1.2 carries a second mark 22, which is aligned with the day of the week "D" for Tuesday on the weekday strip 10. Therefore, the wafer is to be taken in this second bag 1.2 on a Tuesday. Further markings 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 are only indicated because they are concealed in the order given on the subsequent drug pockets 1. Each of these marks 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 is aligned with one of the weekdays "M" for Wednesday, "D" for Thursday, "F" for Friday, "S" for Saturday and "S" for Sunday (in the given Therefore, the wafers contained in the drug bags below are to be taken on the corresponding days of the week, so it is easy for the user to know whether a wafer has already been taken on a particular day of the week or not Case is.

2, a second embodiment of the invention is shown. The device in turn has a lid 2, for example made of cardboard, and medicine bags 1. The cover 2 here also has a label which can be used for the information leaflet and for the identification of the drug and the manufacturer. The lid 2 may be connected to a stack of sheets by gluing. This sheet stack consists of several sheets of 3, which are glued together. These booklets 3 are separated from the drug bags 1 by a perforation 4. To prepare a medicine bag 1 with a stapling sheet 3, the required carrier and cover films are prepared in a suitable size, so as not only to form the medicine bag 1, but at the same time also the subsequent stapling sheet 3. and / or cover sheets suitably larger than is required for the inclusion of the wafer. After making the pockets 1 with the wafers therein and attaching the perforation, which is used to separate each of the drug pouches 1 of the associated stapling sheet 3, the drug pockets 1 are stacked with the stapling sheets 3 for producing the device, and the stapling sheets 3 are glued exclusively in the area of the stapling sheets 3. The sheet stack formed by gluing the sheets 3 may be connected to the cover 2 via an adhesive bond.

In the lower part of the device, the cover 2 is folded back to form a tab 15 towards the pocket stack. As a result, the carrier 9 is formed for the time information. Above the stack of sheets, the lid 1 forms an upper fold 11, so that the lid 2 can be folded back over the front of the pocket stack.

A weekday tag strip 10 is applied to the carrier 9 by gluing having the weekday indications "M", "D", "M", "D", "F", "S", "S" 1, so that the initial weekday indication appears on the leftmost side of the strip 10, and adhered to the carrier 9. Further, markings 20 are applied to the medicine bags 1, which are aligned with the day of the week indications on the weekday strip 10. On the above lying pharmaceutical bag 1.1 is a aligned with the day of the week "M" aligned first mark 21 and on the subsequent pharmaceutical bag 1.2 with the day of the week "D" aligned second mark 22. This is only hinted at because these are covered by the preceding drug pockets 1.

In Fig. 3, the second embodiment of the device according to the invention is shown in the closed state. On the outside of the lid 2, a label and logos can be applied.

4, a third embodiment of the device according to the invention is shown. This device is made like a matchbook. The lid 2 is provided on the inside with a label, such as instructions for use, including the drug name and the manufacturer's name. The lid 2 forms in the lowermost portion of the device a tab 15 through a lower fold by the lid 2 is guided around a stack of stapling sheets 3 around and fixed there. The lid 2, however, does not completely cover the stapling sheets 3. In Fig. 4 it can be seen that the stack of sheets with respect to the tab 15 partially protrudes. By the tab 15 and the sheet stack of the carrier 9 is formed. The lid 2 protects the back of the bag stack and is at an upper fold 11 on the Front of the device kinked so that it can protect the front of the bag stack against mechanical damage.

The stapling sheets 3 are connected via a perforation 4 with associated drug pockets 1. As in the case of the device according to FIG. 2, the medicament bags with the associated stapling sheets 3 can be manufactured in one piece. With the help of the perforation 4, the two parts can be separated from each other.

Again, a weekday tag 10 is affixed to the carrier 9 and contains the day of the week indications "M", "D", "M", "D", "F", "S", "S." The medicine bags 1 have markings In the example shown, the weekday series starts with "M" for Monday and ends with "S" for Sunday A first overhead medicine bag 1.1 is torn off the carrier 3 thanks to the perforation 4. A portion of the uppermost stapling sheet 3.1 is visible, and the severed pocket 1.1 has a first mark 21 which has been aligned with "M" for Monday. An underlying drug pouch 1.2 is visible. This second pocket 1.2 has a second mark 22 that is aligned with the day of the week "D" for Tuesday. By assigning the markers 20 to the weekday details, it becomes possible for the user (s) to recognize whether a wafer is in the current position Intake period has already been taken or if this is not the case.
