Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a container for tablets when administering a drug to a patient in a hospital, a doctor's office, etc., which maintains the accuracy of dosing and makes the package compact for convenient handling.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Usually, in hospitals, various drugs are individually handed to patients in a paper bag for the number of days they are taken. Therefore, if the drug is taken for a long period of time or if the number of drugs is large, not only is it extremely bulky, but there is a risk that the patient may make a mistake in how to take the drug, for example, when taking the drug.

In some hospitals, one dose is contained in one packaging bag and sealed, and the product is given to the patient. Similarly, if the dose is extended, the dose becomes bulky and a large amount of waste is generated. There is a problem.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 This invention is an improvement of the above-mentioned conventional medicine tablet container by a medical doctor to prevent accidental ingestion and to take it accurately, to prevent the bulk of the package, to reduce the waste of the packaging material, and to save waste. It was completed for the purpose of recycling.

[0005]

[Means and Solutions for Solving the Problems]

 As shown in the drawings, in the tablet container according to the present invention, a cylindrical container body (1) with a bottom is made into two or more independent private chambers (12) by a longitudinal partition (11), and an opening is covered with a lid. The inner lid (2) that keeps the airtightness of each chamber in the shape of a tube or insert is rotatably attached. The inner lid (2) is provided with a tablet take-out hole (21) to rotate the inner lid. The outer cover (3) is provided so that it fits into each individual room and is sealed by screwing or fitting when not in use.

If necessary, a desiccant (4) may be attached to the inside of the outer lid (3) to prevent the tablet from absorbing moisture during storage. The desiccant (4) is not particularly limited, and may be a granular or powdery one housed in a breathable bag, or a solid molded product bonded or fitted.

In addition, the tablet container of the present invention is filled with individual tablets for each chamber of the container by the usual mechanized tablet filling machine, and the number of tablets corresponding to the dosing period is filled so that the lid can be automatically covered. In addition, a label (5) can be displayed on the outer surface of the container, showing how to take tablets contained in each chamber (for example, how many tablets should be taken before, after, and between meals).

In use, the patient should take the medicine after checking the taking method with the label (5) on the side surface of the container body (1) by aligning the take-out hole (21) of the inner lid with each chamber (12). The label for how to take the drug should be a peelable and reusable type, and the container should be reusable as much as possible, which is useful for resource utilization.

The material used for the tablet container of the present invention may be any material as long as it satisfies the above-mentioned conditions, does not adversely affect the contents, and can be mass-produced at low cost, but one example is given. For example, low density polyethylene and polypropylene are suitable for the container body, and low density polyethylene and the like are suitable for the inner and outer lids, but the present invention is not bound by any raw material.

[0010]

[Effect of the device]

 This device not only makes the container single compact by preventing the accidental ingestion by the patient by accurately performing tablet administration by the doctor, but not only making the container single compact, but also saving resources and reusing packaging materials. This is a new device that also contributes to usage.
