DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system for packaging a medicine to be given to a patient based on a prescription made by a medical institution. Is a useful packaging system when a plurality of different drugs are prescribed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Patients who have consulted medical institutions such as hospitals and clinics due to illness or injuries are prescribed drugs by a doctor, and are given medication at a pharmacy inside or outside the hospital based on the prescription.

[0003] Conventionally, in a pharmacy, when there are few kinds of prescribed medicines, all the medicines are packaged in one medicine bag, and the usage and dose of each medicine are written in the medicine bag and given to the patient. However, when a plurality of drugs are prescribed, they are often packaged in different medicine bags for each drug in order to avoid confusion.

[0004]

However, when the medicine bags are separately packaged for each medicine, the patient, at the time of taking the medicine, refers to the usage and dose written on the medicine bag, and obtains the necessary amount of medicine from each medicine bag. I had to take it out and take it, which required messy self-management. For this reason, a predetermined effect may not be obtained due to forgetting to take a necessary medicine or erroneous taking.

[0005] In addition, for example, when taking a drug at noon in the office, such as at work, go out with all the drugs,
Alternatively, it is necessary to take out the necessary medicine from the medicine bag, replace it with another container or bag, and carry it around, which is extremely troublesome.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention divides all drugs prescribed for one patient at the time of taking them,
All the drugs taken at the same time were taken in the same medicine bag, and the medicines taken at different times were packed in different medicine bags.

[0007] When the medicine is packaged by such a system, the patient takes out the medicine contained in the medicine bag dedicated to “after breakfast” in the morning, takes the medicine, and goes out at noon, for example.
Since only the medicine bag dedicated to “after lunch” needs to be carried, there is no possibility of taking the medicine by mistake.

[0008] With respect to the medicine bags at different time points,
For example, changing colors, displaying symbols, illustrations, etc.
If an identification means that can be visually identified at a glance is used, even a child or an elderly person can easily be identified, and the effect of preventing erroneous use is enhanced.

Further, if an identification means, such as a braille, which can be identified by a tactile sensation, such as a braille, is used for each medicine bag, it can be applied to a visually impaired person.

[0010] In addition, if all the medicines to be taken at one time among the medicines packed in the medicine bag are wrapped in one packing paper, the patient may forget to take the necessary medicine or make an incorrect dose. As a result, accurate administration of medication to the patient on the medical side can be realized more easily.

[0011] If the medicine bag and the packaging paper packaged in the medicine bag are provided with, for example, a notation using characters or the above-mentioned common identifying means that can be identified by visual or tactile sensation, the packaging paper can be ejected from the medicine bag. Even if left unchecked, the patient does not mistake the point of taking the drug.

[0012] Further, by printing a photograph of the naked drug of the packaged medicine and the medicine information on the surface of each medicine bag, the patient can
The contents of the medicine can be checked every time the medicine is taken.

The color of the bag itself or the color of the characters to be printed can be changed for each of 1, 12, and 13, and different illustrations 21, 22, and
For example, an identification means such as displaying a symbol 2 such as 23 can be used to easily identify a case where the eyesight is weak in an elderly person or an infant who cannot read characters.

Further, when the patient is a visually impaired person, an identification means which can be identified by a tactile sensation, such as Braille, is used at an appropriate place in each of the medicine bags 11, 12, and 13.

Also, on the surface of each medicine bag 11, 12, 13 is printed a photograph of a naked agent of each medicine packaged, and medicine information such as the possibility of their action and side effects and precautions when taking the medicine. Then, the patient confirms the medicine at the time of taking the medicine and raises the interest in the medicine to prevent troubles due to erroneous use and the like.

A plurality of types of medicines are packaged in each of the medicine bags 11, 12, and 13. In particular, when the dose differs depending on the medicine, the amount of medicine to be taken at one time is all reduced to one sheet. By wrapping in a wrapper, the correct amount of medicine can always be taken without omission.

In this packaging paper, the time point of ingestion is written in characters, and by using the same color, symbol 2, etc. as in each of the medicine bags 11, 12, and 13, the medicine bag 1 is used.
Even if you take out the packaging paper and leave it, make sure that the time of taking is not unknown. Also, the packing paper should be transparent or translucent so that the medicine can be viewed from the outside so that the type of the medicine can be confirmed by comparing it with the photograph of the naked medicine printed on each medicine bag 11, 12, and 13. Is preferred.

As described above, according to the present invention, even if a patient is administered a plurality of medicines at different time points, the patient can easily and correctly take the medicine without causing erroneous or omission of the medicine. Is a great help in managing medication for patients.

In addition, for example, when a patient takes a drug on the go at noon, he / she can carry the drug bag for the day without mistakes in the type and time of taking the drug. is there.
