Description

  The present invention relates to a drug oral administration device that allows a user to easily swallow a drug when orally administering the drug, and a tubular member applied to the device.

  The technique of Patent Document 1 is known as a device for immersing a drug in a viscous liquid and allowing the drug to be swallowed together with the viscous liquid when the drug is orally administered.

  In the technique described in Patent Document 1, the drug is once put into the back of the liquid container, the drug and the viscous liquid are mixed, and the mixed liquid and drug are taken together.

Japanese Patent No. 6168160

  However, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, the procedure of mixing the drug and the viscous liquid in the container is complicated. In particular, the viscous liquid is inconvenient for the user who wants to swallow the drug immediately because the drug cannot easily move to the back of the container due to its viscous property.

  In view of the above points, the present invention has an object to provide a drug oral administration device that is easy to mix with a viscous liquid and can be easily used by a user only by arranging the drug at the entrance portion of the container. To do.

  In order to achieve the above object, in the invention described in claim 1, a flexible bag container such as polypropylene or polyethylene is filled with a viscous liquid. At one end of this bag container, there is arranged a tubular member having an opening of a size large enough to contain a drug, and the user can open the lid of the tubular member from the opening if the lid is opened. A drug can be added.

  The tubular member is formed to have a diameter suitable for the user to suck the viscous liquid. This tubular portion has a double pipe structure, and an inner hole is opened in the inner wall. When the user pressurizes and deforms the bag container with the medicine being put therein, the viscous liquid can cover the upper portion of the medicine from the inner hole.

  That is, when the user holds the bag container, the drug is covered in a sandwich by the viscous liquid. In this state, the user can swallow the drug together with the viscous liquid by holding the tubular portion with his/her mouth and further gripping the bag container at the same time to suck the viscous liquid inside the bag container.

  In the present invention, it is not necessary to push the drug into the bag container, the drug can be swallowed together with the viscous liquid simply by opening the lid and inserting the drug, and the drug can be easily taken without complicated labor. You can drink In particular, since the viscous liquid is retained inside the bag container, the drug can be orally administered even in the absence of water or a cup, and the portability is excellent.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In each of the following embodiments, the same or equivalent portions will be denoted by the same reference numerals for description.

(First embodiment)
Hereinafter, one embodiment of the drug oral administration device of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a front view of the device, and 100 is a bag container made of a flexible film material such as polypropylene or polyethylene, which holds a jelly-like viscous liquid inside. As shown in FIG. 2, the bag container 100 has a space 101 in which the viscous liquid is held therein by welding the three sides of the bag. Reference numeral 102 in FIG. 2 indicates a welded portion. The width of the welded portion 102 is about 5 mm. The bottom 103 of the bag container 100 has an elliptical shape.

  The bag container 100 has a bottom portion 103 having a size of about 80 mm and a height of about 55 mm. An opening 104 having a width of about 20 mm is provided on the upper portion of the bag container 100. In other words, the opening 104 is not welded.

  A resin cylindrical member 200 shown in FIG. 3 is disposed in the opening 104. The bag container 100 is in close contact with the periphery of the tubular member 200 so that the viscous liquid does not leak out. A screw portion 201 to which the lid member 300 is screwed is formed on the outer periphery above the tubular member 200.

  The diameter of the upper portion of the tubular member 200 is large enough to be included in the mouth by the user, and is 25 mm in this embodiment. In order to prevent the tubular member 200 from slipping out of the opening 104 of the bag container 100, the lower portion has a flared shape and the outer diameter of the lower end is 32 mm in this embodiment.

  A bar 202 for locking the medicine is formed in a cross shape inside the tubular member. Further, the inside of the tubular member 200 has a double structure, and a hollow inner wall 203 in the present embodiment is formed in a funnel shape. The open end 204 of the inner wall 203 is continuous with the upper end of the tubular member 200 and has a diameter of 25 mm. On the other hand, the lower end 205 of the inner wall 203 has a reduced diameter, and its diameter is 10 mm. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 7, the inner wall 203 is provided with a number of internal holes 206.

  The lid member 300 includes a fixing portion 302 fixed to the tubular member 200, and a removal cap portion 303 that is screwed with the screw portion 201 of the tubular member 200. A cut is provided between the fixing portion 302 and the removal cap portion 303 so as to be separated (see FIG. 1). As shown in FIG. 5, the removal cap portion 303 is formed with a screw portion 301 that is screwed into the screw portion 201 of the tubular member 200.

  The inner diameter of the removal cap portion 303 is similar to the outer shape of the upper portion of the tubular member 200, and the outer diameter of the removal cap portion 303 is 29 mm. Further, the height of the removal cap portion 303 is 19 mm.

The viscous liquid is an amount necessary to take the medicine, and as an example, an amount of 30 ml is desirable. As will be described later, the viscosity of viscous liquid is such that the drug does not sink into the liquid early when the drug is injected through the opening and the user can easily swallow the liquid when swallowing it. Is desirable.
Moreover, since the viscous liquid is taken by the user together with the drug, it is desirable that the viscous liquid does not contain any special component. However, in order to make it easier for the user to drink, the aroma and taste of fruit juice may be added.

  Next, a usage example of this instrument will be described.

  Before the user uses the device, the fixing portion 302 of the lid member 300 and the detaching cap portion 303 are integrated. In use, when the user grasps and turns the removal cap portion 303, the removal cap portion 303 is pulled upward by the engagement between the screw portion 201 of the tubular member 200 and the screw portion 301 of the lid member 300. Be done. As a result, the detaching cap portion 303 is separated from the fixing portion 302 due to the cut of the lid member 300.

  With the removal cap portion 303 removed, the user puts the medicine inside the tubular member 200. Since the medicine is usually a tablet having a diameter of about several mm to 1 cm, the injected medicine is locked by the bar 202.

  After inserting the medicine, the user pressurizes and deforms the bag container 100 so as to crush it to some extent. As a result of this crushing, as shown in FIG. 6, the viscous liquid 400 advances upward through the inner wall 203 of the tubular member 200 having a double pipe structure, and flows into the inside of the funnel-shaped inner wall 203 through the inner hole 206.

  That is, in the tubular member 200 having a double pipe structure, the inner wall 203 is closed at the open end 204 side and is opened at the lower end 205 side, and the inner wall 203 is reduced in funnel shape. The viscous liquid 400 that has flowed in during the period flows upward faster than the viscous liquid in the central portion and drops from the internal hole 206.

  The drug 500 is sandwiched between the viscous liquid 400 inside the bag container 100 and the viscous liquid 400 flowing from above by the inflow of the viscous liquid 400 upward in the tubular member 200 having the double-tube structure. ..

  In this state, the user suctions the viscous liquid 400 at the same time as the bag member 100 is deformed under pressure so as to further crush the bag container 100 by including the tubular member 200 in its mouth. In this suction state, the medicine 500 locked on the bar 202 is located in the upper portion of the bag container 100, that is, in the portion close to the mouth of the user, so that the medicine can be swallowed reliably during suction.

  In the present embodiment, about 30 ml of the viscous liquid 400 is contained, but since only the liquid in the upper part of the bag container 100 is sufficient to swallow one tablet, many tablets are swallowed at once. In this case, instead of putting all the tablets from the tubular member 200 at once, the tablets can be taken in several divided doses.

  Of course, depending on the needs of the user, it is possible to take many tablets at once. Further, the drug is not limited to a tablet, and may be a powdery drug.

  In view of the characteristic of being an instrument for drinking an orally administered drug, it is desirable that this device be used up by taking each drug.

(Second embodiment)
A drug oral administration device according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the drug oral administration device after the tubular member 200 according to the present embodiment is attached. Further, FIG. 9 is a view showing a state of the drug oral administration device before the tubular member 200 is attached. In this embodiment, the tubular member 200 is detachable. As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, as the bag container 100, for example, a general-purpose product in which the viscous liquid 400 is enclosed is applied, and the tubular member 200 is attached to the bag container 100 to perform the drug oral administration. The administration device is configured.

  As the bag container 100 for a general-purpose product, a container in which a jelly-like viscous liquid 400 such as a jelly drink is enclosed in a space 101 is used. The general-purpose bag container 100 is configured to have a cylindrical drinking port 110 at the opening 104. The diameter of the drinking hole 110 is set to a diameter that the user can include in the mouth, and is smaller than the outer diameter of the tubular member 200, for example. A screw portion 111 is formed on the outer circumference of the drinking spout 110. As shown in FIG. 9, the drinking spout 110 is covered with a lid member 112 before the user takes the viscous liquid 400. A threaded portion 113 is formed on the inner wall surface of the lid member 112, and the threaded portion 113 of the lid member 112 is screwed onto the threaded portion 111 of the drinking spout 110 to cover the drinking spout 110 with the lid member 112. It is like this.

  The tubular member 200 of the present embodiment is attached to the drinking port 110 after the lid member 112 is removed from the drinking port 110. For this reason, the tubular member 200 of the present embodiment is provided with the fastening portion 210 for fastening to the drinking spout 110. The fastening portion 210 is provided on the side opposite to the open end 204, has a cylindrical shape, and has a threaded portion 211 on the inner wall surface. Then, the threaded portion 211 of the fastening portion 210 is screwed onto the threaded portion 111 of the spout 110, so that the fastening portion 210 is fastened to the spout 110. In this way, the tubular member 200 is attached to the general-purpose bag container 100.

  The fastening portion 210 is formed at a position separated from the inner wall 203 by a predetermined distance. Therefore, the inside of the fastening portion 210, the hollow inside of the inner wall 203 on the inner peripheral side, and the space on the outer peripheral side of the inner wall 203 are connected. Then, when the bag container 100 is crushed, the viscous liquid 400 is made to flow in the hollow inside the inner wall 203 and on the outer peripheral side of the inner wall. Further, the outer diameter of the fastening portion 210 is set corresponding to the outer diameter of the drinking spout 110. When there is a difference between the outer diameter of the fastening portion 210 and the outer diameter of the portion of the tubular member 200 other than the fastening portion 210, the fastening portion 210 is reduced in diameter.

  The configuration of the portion of the tubular member 200 other than the fastening portion 210 is the same as that of the first embodiment.

  As described above, the tubular member 200 is attachable to and detachable from the bag container 100. Even with such a structure, the viscous liquid 400 can flow upward in the tubular member 200 having the double-tube structure. Then, as in FIG. 6, the drug 500 can be sandwiched between the viscous liquid 400 inside the bag container 100 and the viscous liquid 400 flowing from above. Therefore, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be obtained.

  In addition, if the viscous liquid 400 remains in the bag container 100 after taking the medicine 500, it may be repeatedly used for taking the medicine 500. As described above, in view of the characteristics of the device for drinking the drug 500 to be orally administered, it is desirable that the device be used up by taking the drug 500 each time. However, in the case of the present embodiment, since the tubular member 200 is configured to be attachable to and detachable from the bag container 100, the tubular member 200 can be removed from the bag container 100 and washed again after the drug 500 is taken. .. Therefore, the tubular member 200 can be kept clean and can be reused. If the viscous liquid 400 attached to the mouth is also left in the tubular member 200 and the tubular member 200 is removed from the bag container 100, the viscous liquid 400 remaining in the bag container 100 can be kept clean. It will be possible. Therefore, the viscous liquid 400 contained in the same bag container 100 can be repeatedly used, which is economical.

(Other embodiments)
Although each of the above-described embodiments has shown a desirable form as an application example of the present invention, various modifications can be considered within the scope of the present invention. For example, the sizes of the bag container 100 and the lid member 300 are examples, and the dimensions can be changed appropriately. Further, the amount of the viscous liquid is 30 ml as an example, and can be changed. Adult and child sized appliances may be provided. Further, the drug oral administration device according to the first embodiment is preferably used up by taking the drug 500 once, but it is not always necessary to use up once.

  Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, the bar 202 that locks the drug 500 is provided, but since the drug usually floats on the surface of the viscous liquid, the bar 202 may be omitted.

  Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, a large number of internal holes 206 are formed in the inner wall 203 of the tubular member 200 over the entire circumference in the circumferential direction, but the position and number of the internal holes 206 can be changed as appropriate. The internal hole 206 is only required to be able to cover the drug with the viscous liquid 400 by crushing the bag container 100 after the drug is put therein.

  Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, the inner wall 203 has a funnel shape to facilitate the inflow of the viscous liquid 400 between the inner wall 203 of the double pipe structure and the tubular member 200, but this is required in manufacturing and the like. For example, the funnel shape is not essential.

  Further, in the above-described second embodiment, the structure of the tubular member 200 is the same as that of the first embodiment except for the fastening portion 210. That is, the lid member 300 has a structure in which the tubular member 200 can be covered, and the screw portion 201 is provided on the outer circumference. However, when the tubular member 200 is detachable from the bag container 100 as in the second embodiment, the tubular member 200 may not be covered with the lid member 300. The structure may be omitted.
