2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a package of solid material, for example, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 6, a predetermined number of concave portions (52) are formed in a synthetic resin molded sheet (51) to contain a solid such as a tablet (53), and then a sealing sheet (54) such as an aluminum foil is removed. Each of the concave portions (52) was laminated and covered, and cut lines (55a and 55b) were formed between the concave portions (52) so that each unit package (56) could be cut off.
There is a so-called press-through pack (hereinafter referred to as PTP).

[0003] This PTP (50) makes it easy for a patient taking a medicine to take out a solid medicine from a package.
It has the advantage of being portable because it can be divided into individual dose units, and is compact for doctors and pharmacists who administer medications, and since a fixed number of unit packages are formed on one sheet, storage and counting management are easy. Since it has many advantages, such as tablets and capsules, it is widely used especially for packaging pharmaceuticals such as tablets and capsules.

Since the unit package (56) is formed in a small size, the above-mentioned PTP (50) is used when the tablet (53) is cut off for each unit package and the tablet (53) is taken. May be accidentally swallowed together with the PTP without removing the PTP from the PTP, or the PTP empty after removing the tablet may be ingested with the tablet. In particular, this accidental ingestion is likely to occur when the patient is given to the patient separately by taking the dosage unit, and the ingested PTP may be caught in the corner of the digestive tract such as the esophagus or gastrointestinal tract, or may remain in the digestive tract. Since the inner wall is easily damaged, surgical treatment may be required as esophageal foreign body disease.

In order to prevent such accidents caused by accidental ingestion, all or a part of the cut line of the PTP (50) is omitted, for example, the horizontal cut line (55a) in FIG. Rather, some packages (for example, two) are configured to be able to be cut off for each package (for example, two), and the package for the plurality of units is made larger than a tablet or the like.

[0006] However, in general, it is indispensable that prescription drugs can be administered separately for each unit package because the dose of the prescription varies depending on the symptoms and the like. In many cases, the PTP without the perforated line of the related art is unsuitable for use as a pharmaceutical package as it is because the PTP is often supplied separately for each dose. Therefore, when the PTP without the cut line is actually used, it is divided into individual unit packages by scissors or the like at the time of administration or taking, and eventually P P
Since the shape of each individually packaged unit package of the TP becomes small, there is a problem that the above-mentioned accidental ingestion cannot be completely prevented.
