Definitions

  • the present invention relates to single blister packs, processes for their preparation, stacked arrangements containing such individual blister packs and boxes containing stacked arrangements of individual blister packs.
  • Blister packs have long been known. Medicament portions such as tablets and capsules are preferably delivered in blister packs as primary packaging. In a blister pack, the tablets or capsules are in an arrangement of individual wells (bubbles) in a plastic or aluminum foil. The recesses are usually sealed by an aluminum foil. The medicine portions can be removed individually and are protected against dirt and humidity. Another advantage of drug portions in blister packs is the easy recognition of the remaining number of available drug portions.
  • a typical blister pack is shown in Fig. 1a of the disclosure GB2184086A 15 individual drug portions are present in an areal arrangement of approximately 6-8 cm ⁇ 4-6 cm.
  • blister packs are placed in another package prior to delivery to the patient.
  • This secondary packaging is typically a folding box which, in addition to a number of approximately 1 to 10 blister packs, usually also contains a package insert with usage and safety information.
  • the secondary packaging prevents slippage of stacked blister packs. It is essentially only needed for transport and falls to the consumer as waste. Due to the bulky and voluminous bubble structure of conventional blister packs, the secondary packaging is comparatively bulky.
  • a blister pack which, in addition to the wells for receiving drug portions has additional Zentriernoppen that extend beyond the bottom of the wells.
  • the blister pack on supporting knobs, which also protrude beyond the underside of the wells.
  • the cover sheet has perforations in the area around each one Zentriernoppe, so that in a flush stacking of the blister packs each Zentriernoppe a blister strip rests on a perforation of the underlying blister strip.
  • the support nubs lie on the cover sheet of the underlying blister strip, so that the blister strips are supported against each other. Since the so stacked blister packs can not slip against each other, can be dispensed with an elaborate outer packaging or can be very easily formed. The disadvantage, however, is that no volume reduction in the overpack compared to a stack of analog blister strips without Zentriernoppen results by the stacking described. Furthermore, a single blister strip can not be easily removed from the outer packaging; he must first be released from the stack, which is possible only in one direction.
  • DE 19680564 T1 discloses a foldable blister strip. It has two parallel rows of bubbles that are offset from each other so that the bubbles of one row engage in the spaces between the bubbles of the other row as the blister strip folds. As a result, the folded blister strip takes up less space than if the rows of blisters were stacked in a conventional manner. For use, however, the folded blister strip of the outer packaging must first be removed and unfolded, which is relatively cumbersome.
  • a similar foldable blister pack is also in DE 29780456 U1 disclosed.
  • the blister packs described so far contain more than one portion of medication.
  • a patient only takes a single drug portion at the time of taking it. If, for example, the patient has to take a portion of medication every day, he will gradually empty the blister pack by taking a single dose of medication each day.
  • a patient carries a blister strip containing several drug portions with him, for example, to have a portion of medicines ready when needed and / or to be reminded of a regular intake.
  • more drug portions are carried along than are actually needed. There is a risk that the blister strip will be lost or damaged, and that individual portions of the medication will be lost, broken, become wet, or otherwise rendered unusable.
  • blister strips which have perforations to separate individual bubbles with drug portions can (see, for example EP 679587 A1 ). This makes it possible to carry only the amount of drug portions that is actually needed. It is thus also possible to transfer packaged medicament portions to a patient in a hospital or a resident in a nursing home.
  • these blister units do not have the complete information about the contents, since usually the label on the back side of a blister strip is destroyed or dismembered by separating individual blister units.
  • the cover sheet may tear. By separating individual units often also sharp corners and edges, where you can injure yourself, or caused by the damage to materials, such as when blister units or remnants of blister strips are stored without packaging in bags or coats.
  • blister strips with a fixed number of multiple drug portions limit the flexibility. For example, if a blister strip contains 10 portions of medication, only packs of this number or a multiple thereof (20, 30, ...) can be offered.
  • One problem underlying the present invention is therefore to provide packaged medicament portions which allow a greater degree of flexibility and security in provision and handling while saving space and conserving resources.
  • a medication portion is understood to be a solid dosage form of a drug that can be taken by a patient as a single unit.
  • medicament portions are tablets, pills, dragees and capsules.
  • a single blister pack is understood as meaning a combination of a single blister pack and one or more drug portions.
  • One or more drug portions are packaged in the individual blister pack and form with this single blister pack a single blister pack containing one or more drug portions or short a single blister.
  • the term "single” refers to the number of bubbles.
  • a single blister is thus a unit that has a single bladder. Synonymous terms used in the prior art instead of the term bladder are e.g. Cavity and depression.
  • the Einzelblisterverpackung comprises a flat body.
  • the flat body usually consists of a film layer.
  • Another film layer - here called cover film - is used to seal the bubble.
  • a flat body is understood to mean a body which has a greater extent in two of the three spatial directions in a Cartesian coordinate system than in the third spatial direction. If one thinks of the bubble away and one assumes that the main body has no curvature, then the expansion in the third spatial direction (z-direction, thickness of the film layer) is only a fraction of the expansion in the other two spatial directions (x and y -Direction).
  • the thickness of the film layer d G (expansion in the z direction) is preferably less than one-tenth of the expansion in the thickness perpendicular orthogonal spatial directions (x and y direction), more preferably less than one twentieth.
  • the flat body preferably has no or only a slight curvature.
  • the radius of curvature is at least 10 times the extent in the x and / or y direction. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the radius of curvature is at least 20 times the extent in the x and / or y direction. In a very particularly preferred embodiment, the radius of curvature is at least 50 times the extent in the x and / or y direction.
  • the flat basic body always has a certain curvature, even if the aim is to make the basic body (with the exception of the bladder) as flat as possible.
  • the introduction of the bladder into the body which is usually done by thermoforming, can cause stresses in the body that lead to a curvature.
  • the mechanical processing such as printing, cutting, gripping (e.g., during transportation), etc., bends may be introduced into the main body.
  • the application of the cover sheet represents a mechanical stress, which can lead to deformation.
  • an ideal, non-curved base body is assumed. However, this is done only to better illustrate the invention and should not be construed as limiting the invention.
  • the flat body can take many forms. It may assume a circular, oval, triangular, quadrangular (e.g., rectangular or square), pentagonal, hexagonal, and other basic shapes in the xy plane, the corners each being rounded.
  • the planar body has a square, rectangular or angular basic shape in the xy plane, but the corners may be rounded.
  • the term "angular” is explained in more detail below.
  • the corners of the flat body are rounded to avoid injury to the persons handling the individual blisters and / or damage to materials with which the Einzelblister come into contact.
  • the base body must be at least so large that a blister for receiving a drug portion can be introduced and the bladder can be closed with a cover foil.
  • a typical size is, for example, an extension in the x and y direction from 0.6 cm to 6 cm and in the z direction from 0.2 mm to 2 mm.
  • the main body can also be made larger or smaller.
  • information about the drug in the bladder is applied to the cover sheet.
  • information about the drug in the bladder may e.g. the name of the active substance, the name of the manufacturer and / or distributor, a lot number (Ch.B.), the expiry date, a dosage and other information.
  • Some information is required by authorities supervising the placing on the market of medicinal products, other information may be useful for the people involved in the packaged medicine, such as patients, doctors, nurses, transport and logistics companies, packers and others.
  • targeted colors may be used; conceivable is e.g. a red color for taking in the morning and a blue color for taking in the evening / night.
  • the ventral side is the side on which the bladder protrudes from the main body and which is opposite to the side on which the cover film is applied.
  • the main body therefore has a minimum size which allows at least the information required by the authorities to be applied to the base body and / or the cover film.
  • a certain minimum size also offers the advantages that the single blister is not lost so quickly, and that it is easier to handle and open especially for the elderly.
  • information can also be incorporated, for example, as an engraving in the base body and / or the cover sheet.
  • the bubble is introduced into the base body. It usually serves to receive a single portion of medication. But it is also conceivable that there are several drug portions in a bladder. For example, it is conceivable that the amount of drug a patient must take at a given time is too large for a single dose of medication to cause problems when swallowed. Therefore, it may be appropriate to distribute the drug to several, smaller drug portions.
  • the bladder contains a maximum of four drug portions; most preferably it contains a single drug portion.
  • the bladder may be centrally or decentrally incorporated in the body.
  • central and “decentralized” are explained in more detail below.
  • the cover film is applied to the so-called back side of the body and closes the bladder, which protrudes on the opposite side of the stomach from the body.
  • FIG. 1 clarifies this.
  • FIG. 1 shows an example of a single blister 1 in the top view and from two sides.
  • the Einzelblister 1 comprises a flat body 2, in which a bubble 3 is introduced.

  • the bladder is closed by a cover sheet 4.
  • the bladder 3 is centrally introduced in the flat body 2.
  • the basic shape of the main body is rectangular-with the corners being rounded.
  • the cover sheet usually does not necessarily extend over the entire back side of the main body and ends flush with the edges of the main body.
  • the cover film preferably also has the basic shape of the base body and is ideally designed flat (without curvature).
  • the cover films are preferably in planes which run parallel to one another.
  • cover sheets are horizontal to gravity and the blister packs are stacked "one above the other".
  • coversheets are vertical to gravity and the blister packs are stacked "side-by-side”.
  • cover sheets can be brought by turning the stack in any other orientation between "vertical” and "horizontal”.
  • the present invention is not limited to any orientation of the stack with respect to gravity.
  • the term “stack” in the present description is broader than in the vernacular, which is usually understood to mean only a "superordinate arrangement”.
  • the term “height h s of the stacked arrangement” is not to be understood as meaning that only "stacked” individual blisters are the subject of the present invention.
  • the term “height” is here also broader than is usually understood. These considerations, which are based on parallel cover sheets, are not interpreted to be valid only for stacks with parallel cover sheets.
  • the present invention also includes, for example, stacks which are arranged “next to one another" and in which the cover sheets of the individual blisters do not lie in planes which run parallel to one another.
  • a stack is assumed in which the cover sheets of Einzelblister horizontal to gravity, the Einzelblister thus "superimposed” are arranged.
  • Under an adjacent Einzelblister is understood in such a stack that Einzelblister, which is in contact with the considered Einzelblister. In this case, the adjacent Einzelblister above or below the considered Einzelblisters.
  • the lowest single blister has only a single adjacent blister; this is above the lowest individual blister.
  • the uppermost Einzelblister also has only one adjacent Einzelblister; this is below the uppermost Einzelblister.
  • Typical numbers N of individual blisters in a stacked arrangement are 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 21, 28, 30 and 31. However, they are other quantities conceivable.

  • N is equal to 7.
  • N is equal to 28.
  • the bubbles preferably point in the same direction.
  • the Einzelblister are each arranged alternately back side to back side and stomach side on the stomach side. Mixed forms between the mentioned stack shapes are also conceivable.
  • the stack height N ⁇ d G + d D + H B ⁇ H S ⁇ N ⁇ H B + d G + d D
  • h N denotes the height of the support structures, which are described in more detail below.
  • the individual blisters are stacked so that the cover sheet of a single blister rests against the body of an adjacent single blister in a region adjacent to the bladder.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates this embodiment.
  • FIG. 3 shows an example of an arrangement according to the invention in the top view (bottom) and from one side (top). Seven copies (1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 1-6, 1-7) of single blister 1 off Fig. 1 are stacked one above the other. All bubbles point in the same direction.
