Definitions

  • the present invention is a novel blister containing drug portions, a process for its preparation, a method for providing drug portions for patients and a system for producing packaged drug portions, which are intended for distribution to patients.
  • Blister packs are preferred packaging for drug portions such as tablets and capsules.
  • the tablets or capsules are in an arrangement of individual wells (cavities) in a plastic or aluminum foil.
  • the cavities 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 packages in blister packs is the easy recognition of the remaining number of available drug portions.
  • Blister packs, devices for their manufacture and devices for packaging medicament portions in blister packs are well described in the prior art (see for example US4384649A, GB2184086A, EP2272763A1, EP0849055A1, EP0257990A2, EP0210823A1, DE3803979A1, CN203003955U).
  • FIG. La of the published patent application GB2184086A 15 individual drug portions are in a flat arrangement of an estimated 6-8 cm x 4-6 cm before.
  • blisters are placed in another package prior to delivery to the patient.
  • This secondary packaging is typically a folding box, which usually contains, in addition to a number of about 1 to 10 blisters, a leaflet with usage and safety information.
  • this problem is solved in that the process of primary packaging, secondary packaging and labeling of drug portions is separated into two areas.
  • macro blisters are generated, which are a variety of Contain medicine portions.
  • These macroblisters do not contain and / or carry country-specific and / or customer-specific information. They represent an intermediate stage in which the drug portions can be transported and stored.
  • secondary-wrapped and labeled drugs are generated from the macrobeasts and are suitable for distribution to specific customers / patients in, for example, a particular country. They contain or carry all country-specific and / or customer-specific markings, leaflets, warnings, etc. that are required.
  • the drug portions are brought into a state that allows maximum flexibility in terms of later use (location, time and purpose).
  • the inventive separation of the previous process costs can be reduced at the same time, because due to the flexible use of macroblister overcapacities can be avoided.
  • even small batches can be produced very effectively and cost-reduced.
  • WO20090261 (A1) describes a method in which conventional blisters are first of all packaged and stored unmarked in order to be unpacked, labeled and repacked at a later time before they are sent to their final destination.
