[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a medicine explanation seal and a medicine bag used when a medical institution delivers medicine to a patient.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In medical institutions, when prescribing and delivering a drug, it is required to attach a description of the efficacy and side effects of the drug based on the request for drug information provided by the insurance medical treatment system. Therefore, medical institutions and dispensing pharmacies provide patients with detailed explanations of the effects and side effects of the drug, and ask the patient to read the instructions when taking the drug.

[0003] However, since the instructions contain detailed information about the drug, patients without knowledge of the drug can understand what is important information out of a lot of information. Hateful.

[0004] In addition, when there are many types of drugs, it is troublesome to check each drug at the time of taking it, and it is painful to read detailed information over time, especially for patients who are not in good physical condition. is there. As a result, patients often take medication without having to read the instructions. In addition, the instructions may be lost, making it impossible to check them when taking them.

[0005] However, some drugs are not preferable to be used in combination with other drugs, some have no effect when taken with certain foods, and some have side effects for people with a certain constitution. It is not advisable to take the drug without any knowledge of these.

[0006] Further, for medical institutions and dispensing pharmacies, since the medicines to be delivered are all different for each patient, it is troublesome and time-consuming to prepare individualized manuals, and the manuals require dedicated and expensive computer software. Since it must be created using it, the economic burden is large.

[0007] If a manual cannot be attached, it is necessary to write the explanation in a medicine bag by hand, or give a description to the patient by giving a memo while showing the medicine. Medical institutions and dispensing pharmacies need to provide specialized knowledge at the expense of time, effort and cost, and in some cases may need to increase the number of staff members.

[0008] Furthermore, even if the patient runs out of the received medicine and goes to a medical institution or dispensing pharmacy for additional medicine, he explains what kind of medicine he or she had previously received from the medical institution or dispensing pharmacy. There must be. However, elderly patients are not able to accurately convey the name of the drug, etc., and few patients can provide only obscure information such as "red and white capsule cold medicine" or "orange mount tablets". Absent. Even if the patient knows the name of the drug, there is a risk of memory mistakes, so it is not preferable to specify the drug based on that alone. It is also difficult to refer to the instructions, since some patients have given or lost their drug instructions before.

[0009] Medical institutions and dispensing pharmacies cannot deliver medicines based on uncertain information from the viewpoint of safety. Therefore, even if there is no change in prescription, the medicines delivered before can be checked in medical records, etc. Prescriptions do not occur.

[0010] Also, for some reason, the patient may request a change in the prescription. In this case, the attending physician knows the previous prescription and can take immediate action to make a new prescription, but the doctors and pharmacists do not always have the same responsibilities every day. If the physician in charge is different, it will take a great deal of effort and time since all past records must be searched to identify the drug based on the previous prescription, and a new prescription must be given.

[0011] Therefore, patients have to wait a long time between receiving a request and receiving a drug, and it is not unusual to wait for more than 30 minutes. It is painful and stressful for a patient to wait a long time in an unwell condition due to illness or injury. If a medical institution takes a long time to deliver the medicine, it may cause congestion in the waiting room, which may hinder smooth operations.

[0012]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described using preferred embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a view showing a medicine explanation seal (1) of the present embodiment. The sheet itself of the medicine explanation sticker (1) is a seal sheet having an adhesive surface on the back surface and a release paper provided on the adhesive surface. The size of one medicine explanation sticker (1) was 2 cm in length and 5 cm in width, because the size was considered to be easy to apply even to a relatively small medicine bag.

Although the sticker paper to be printed may be produced exclusively, in this embodiment, inexpensive A4 size name label paper which can be easily obtained at a stationery store, a personal computer shop, or the like was used. This means that the paper is cut in advance and can be used by peeling off a sticker of a predetermined size one by one.When printing with a printer, when peeling and sticking after printing, Easy to use.

The photograph of the medicine (2), the name of the medicine (3), the kind of the medicine (4), and the precautions (5) for taking this medicine are printed on the surface of the seal. For printing, a commercially available color printer for personal computers was used.

The photograph (2) of the medicine was a color photograph so that the patient could identify the medicine at a glance. Pharmaceutical photos are digital images for the purpose of digital processing and printing, but they may be taken with a digital camera, scanned on a flatbed scanner, or scanned from a silver halide film with a film scanner. Is also good.

It is preferable to perform image processing as much as possible so that the actual color of the medicine and the color of the photograph (2) of the printed medicine do not greatly differ from each other so that the two colors are the same. If the product number is printed on the medicine, it is preferable to take an image, correct the image quality, and print it so that it can be confirmed.

The name (3) of the medicine is a unique name of the medicine. The type (4) of the drug indicates a classification according to the use of the drug, and is described, for example, as "analgesic", "hypertensive agent", "antipyretic agent", or "anti-inflammatory enzyme agent".

As a precaution (5) when taking a medicine, information to be known when taking the medicine is briefly displayed in short sentences. For example, drugs that may cause undesirable symptoms when taken together, foods that should not be taken together, precautions for taking intervals, precautions for taking the method, and side effects are displayed.

", In the case of liquid medicine," shake well before taking. "

The information on the medicine printed on the medicine explanation sticker (1) is not necessarily limited to these, and if there is any other information that the patient needs to know, it may be printed together. . For example, information such as "Please keep in the refrigerator" may be printed as a storage method of the medicine.

If such a medicine explanation seal (1) has a commercially available inexpensive device or paper such as a personal computer or a printer, it can be used by using general-purpose inexpensive software (or attached to the personal computer). It can be easily created. The conventional instruction manual required expensive special software, but the medicine explanation seal (1) of the present invention can be manufactured at an extremely low cost as compared with the conventional instruction manual.

Although the present embodiment mainly describes a case where a medical institution or a dispensing pharmacy creates its own medicine explanation sticker (1), the pharmaceutical manufacturer provides the medicine explanation sticker (1) as a service. ) May be attached and delivered to a medical institution or dispensing pharmacy. For example, when selling a medicine containing 100 tablets in a small medicine box, the necessary number (for example, about 20) of medicine explanation stickers (1) should be put in each medicine box. It is convenient because it can be used immediately at dispensing pharmacies.

[0031] The attachment of the medicine explanation seal (1) by such a pharmaceutical maker is advantageous for the pharmaceutical maker. In other words, medical institutions and dispensing pharmacies recognize the added value of convenient drug description seals (1), and tend to adopt drugs with drug description seals (1) attached when prices and efficacy are of the same level. Can increase competitiveness with other pharmaceutical manufacturers. Furthermore, since the medicine explanation seal (1) itself is visually conspicuous and exhibits an advertising effect, it can also function as a low-cost advertising.

FIG. 2 is a view showing a medicine bag (10) to which a medicine explanation seal (1) is attached. When affixing to the medicine bag (10), the release paper provided on the back of the medicine explanation seal (1) is peeled off in the same manner as a normal seal, and the back surface which is the adhesive surface is exposed and affixed.

In the present embodiment, the medicine explanation sticker is attached to the upper margin of the medicine bag which has been conventionally used, but a medicine bag provided with a sticking area for the medicine explanation seal may be manufactured and used.

In the case where the medication time and the number of doses are also printed on the medicine explanation seal (1), the description of the medication time and the number of doses may be omitted in the medicine bag itself to which the label is attached.

The medicine explanation seal (1) may be attached according to the kind of medicine contained in the medicine bag (10). One medicine is used for one kind, and plural kinds are used for plural kinds of medicines. It will be.
