Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to manufacture containers for eye drops excellent in dropping liquid, less in moisture vaporization, and easy to manufacture, by forming them from a resin obtained by compounding polyolefin and copolymer of ethylene vinyl acetate. SOLUTION: A raw material to be used for manufacturing the integrally- formed containers for eye drops of throw-away kind after not more than several uses via a simultaneous forming/filling system, is poduced from ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and polyolefin resin under such a conventional process as fusion-mixing technique. As the resin to be used, it is preferable to contain 0.1-10wt.% of vinyl acetate group, more preferably 1-3wt.%, in view of dropping liquid. Such constituents as antiseptic agent, antibacterial agent, colorant, etc., can also be mixed into the resin of the raw material for this container. Eye drops, i.e., liquid inside the container, may be any one of the artificial lacrimal fluid, general eye drops, antibacterial eye drops, eye wash and the like, whose pH is preferred to be 4.0-8.5.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, various eye drops having a small volume have been put on the market. Of these types of eye drops that can be used up once or several times, those that do not contain preservatives can be instilled as they are when using contact lenses, and are less irritating to the eyes, causing symptoms such as hypersensitive dry eye Especially effective.

The above-mentioned small-volume eye drops have a problem that, since the size of the container is small, a squeeze, that is, a force is required on the fingers to push out the content liquid. For this reason, a container that allows the content liquid to be dripped more easily has been desired. Here, if the material of the container is simply changed to a soft material, the squeezing force is reduced. However, in the case of a commonly used material, the evaporation of water is increased and there is a problem in the stability of the liquid content. Techniques such as plastic packaging and aluminum packaging are known for suppressing moisture evaporation, but all of them are complicated and have problems such as dew condensation. In addition, the integrally molded ophthalmic container has a drawback that it is difficult to mold a material other than polyolefin in the manufacturing process.

Means for Solving the Problems The present inventors have conducted various studies to achieve the object. As a result, eye drops using a resin container in which an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer is blended with a polyolefin have been found to have squeezing properties and content. The present invention has been found to be a stable eye drop which has a good liquid drainage property and little evaporation of water over time, and can be molded by the same method as in the related art at the time of manufacturing a container, thereby completing the present invention.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In the present invention, an integrally molded ophthalmic container is a container produced by a simultaneous molding and filling system.

[0009] The shape of the container is not particularly involved in the integrally formed ophthalmic solution container of the present invention. However, in the case of a container having an internal volume exceeding 2 ml, the squeezing force is sufficiently small even in a container formed of only polyolefin, so that the present invention is rarely required. The thickness of the container is preferably 0.3 to 1.2 mm, and most preferably 0.6 mm. If the wall thickness is less than 0.3 mm, water evaporation will increase, and
If it exceeds 2 mm, the squeeze force will increase.

The resin used in the present invention has a vinyl acetate group in an amount of 0.1 to 10% by weight, preferably 1 to 3% by weight of the whole material.
What is contained by weight% is preferable in view of the liquid discharging property of the content liquid. However, when the content of the vinyl acetate group is high, the evaporation of water increases, so that it is difficult to mix the content exceeding 10% by weight. On the other hand, when the content of the vinyl acetate group is less than 0.1% by weight, the improvement of the liquid discharging property cannot be satisfied.
