Description

  BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a medicine taking calendar for taking medicine prescribed at a hospital or a pharmacy at a designated time zone.

Medicines prescribed in hospitals and pharmacies cannot achieve a sufficient therapeutic effect unless taken as prescribed, but often forget to take them.
Conventionally, there is a medicine box in which medicines can be stored separately for each date.Such medicine boxes have a large number of drawers indicating the date, and the inside of the box is separated by a partition wall for each date. However, it takes time and labor to subdivide the medicine by date and cannot prevent forgetting to take the medicine.

  Therefore, the present invention displays a time period for taking a medicine in a date column of a calendar, and allows a medicine taking confirmation slip to be hung on a display portion thereof so as to prevent forgetting to take a medicine. After taking, it is easy to move the medicine bag and the taking confirmation slip to the next designated taking time.

  In order to achieve the above object, the medicine taking calendar according to the present invention is configured such that a medicine confirmation slip is removably attached to a calendar in which a time period of taking medicine such as morning, noon, evening etc. is displayed in a date column. It is of the configuration as shown.

  Also, engaging holes are formed side by side at locations corresponding to each taking time zone in the calendar, and the taking confirmation slip has a configuration in which the head is continuous with the cast body at a narrow neck portion, and The head of the confirmation slip is inserted into a required engagement hole of the calendar, is engaged with the back of the calendar, and is suspended.

  Furthermore, the above-mentioned taking confirmation slip is detachably attached by a removable adhesive.

  According to the calendar according to the present invention, the time period for taking the next medicine can be clearly understood at a glance, and the taking confirmation slip can be hung on the calendar, so that the confirming slip is easily noticeable, Therefore, forgetting to take the medicine can be prevented.

  In addition, there is also a practical advantage that it is easy to use as a medication guide in hospitals and pharmacies because it can be manufactured simply and at low cost.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, the medicine taking calendar 1 according to the present embodiment is a single sheet displaying a month calendar, and each date column 3, 3,. The minutes are printed in one horizontal row.

  Thus, in each date column, for example, the indication of the taking time zone 4 such as "morning", "daytime", "evening", etc., and the engaging holes 4a corresponding to the indication of each taking time zone, 4b and 4c are provided, and the medicine bag 2 is hung by a later-described engaging piece 6 into a required engaging hole.

  The engaging holes 4a, 4b and 4c for the taking time zone are connected to each other by a communicating portion 5 formed of a slit as shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 2, and the communicating portion 5 is connected to the engaging hole 4a for one day. , 4b, and 4c, or may be provided continuously for several days or for one week.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the engaging piece 6 is made of a thin cardboard or a synthetic resin plate or the like in which a head 7 and a hook 8 are continuous with a narrow neck 9 as shown in FIG. Is inserted into a hole 10 formed in the upper part of the medicine bag 2, and the head is engaged with the calendar 1 on the back side of the engagement hole so that the medicine bag is suspended.

  As the medicine bag, there is a case where the prescription bag 2a given from a hospital or a pharmacy is used as it is, or as shown in FIG. 4, the prescription bag 2a is further put into a wrapping bag 2b such as a plastic film bag and used as the medicine bag 2. In some cases, the wrapper 2b has a flap 11 at the top of the rear trunk, and a hole 10a is formed in the flap to pass the head of the engaging piece.

  Since the engagement piece 6 has its head 7 inserted into the engagement holes 4a, 4b, 4c and engaged with the back surface of the calender, the width R + α of the head 6 is larger than the width R of the engagement hole, and The width R-β of the neck 9 is smaller than the width R of the engagement hole and the width of the medicine bag engagement hole, and the width of the hook 8 is larger than the width of the medicine bag engagement hole.

Next, how to use the above-mentioned medicine taking calendar will be described.
The head 7 of the engagement piece 6 passed through the hole 10 of the medicine bag is inserted into the communication portion 5 connecting the engagement hole 4a after breakfast and the engagement hole 4b after lunch, and then the engagement piece is removed after breakfast. The medicine bag is suspended at the engagement hole 4a after breakfast by moving the communication piece 5 to the engagement hole 4a and dropping the head of the engagement piece into the engagement hole 4b after breakfast.

When the medicine is taken out of the medicine bag after breakfast and taken, the engaging piece is pulled up to the upper part of the engaging hole 4a, moved to the engaging hole 4b after lunch along the communication part 5, and dropped into the engaging hole 4b. The medicine bag is suspended at the medicine taking position after lunch.
Hereinafter, the engaging piece is moved to the engaging hole 4c after dinner by the communication part 5 in the same procedure, and the medicine bag is hung at the dose position after dinner.

  Therefore, once the medicine bag is hung in the engagement hole 4a after breakfast, the medicine bag is moved to the engagement hole 4c after dinner by removing the engagement piece from each engagement hole and inserting it into the next engagement hole. Can be eliminated.

  When the medicine is taken after dinner, the engaging hole is detached from the engaging hole 4c after dinner, and the medicine bag is hung by the engaging piece in the above-described manner into the engaging hole after breakfast on the next day.

  In the above-described embodiment, the medicine bag 2 is hung on the calendar 1. However, when taking many kinds of medicines, the medicine bag is suspended because the medicine bag becomes thick and bulky or heavy. Alternatively, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, a card or a sticky-type taking confirmation slip 12 with a display such as "Did you take medicine?" May be hung on the calendar 1.

  The dosing confirmation slip 12 has a head 7 at the top similarly to the engagement piece 6, and a narrow neck 9 is formed between the head and the check slip main body 13. The dimensional relationship and the engagement method with 4b and 4c are the same as those of the engagement piece, and the head 7 is hooked and hung from the engagement hole in a required dose time zone.

  In this case, the user takes out the medicine separately from the medicine bag, sees the medicine confirmation slip hanging in the medicine taking time, takes the medicine, and after taking the medicine, moves the medicine taking confirmation to the next medicine taking time.

  In addition, there is a case where the taking confirmation slip is not provided with the head or the neck, but is attached to the place of the taking time of the calendar by the adhesive 14 provided on the back surface of the upper side, and may be repeatedly attached to the adhesive. For example, an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive having good removability that can be peeled off is used.

  Also in this case, the user takes the medicine confirmation slip attached to the taking time slot, takes the medicine separately taken from the medicine bag, and after taking the medicine, attaches the medicine taking confirmation slip to the next taking time slot.

  In this case, it is only necessary to attach the dose confirmation slip to the position of the required dose time zone 4 on the calendar, so there is no need to make an engagement hole for the dose time zone in the calendar.

  Furthermore, in each of the above-described embodiments, an example of a single calendar for one month has been given. However, there is a case where a calendar for two months is used on one side, and in this case, an engagement hole is provided. Since both sides are shared, it is necessary to appropriately adjust the position where the engaging hole is formed or the printing position of the calendar. In addition, the calendar may be of a monthly or daily type.

  In addition, a margin for advertisement may be provided in an upper column or a lower column of the calendar, and an advertisement for a medical institution, a pharmaceutical company, a pharmacy, or the like may be printed in the margin.

  In the above description, taking a drug does not mean simply taking the drug, but broadly refers to the use of the drug, not to mention the use of topical drugs such as eye drops and topical drugs The calendar of the present invention can be used to do this.

FIG. 2 is a plan view showing an embodiment of the calendar according to the present invention. The top view which expands and shows an engagement hole. The top view of an engagement piece.
