DESCRIPTION

COVER FOR BLISTER OF CUSTOMIZED DOSING PILL BOXES WITH

COLD GLUE

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a lid for hermetically sealing blisters or alveoli made of plastic or other materials for personalized dosage pillboxes (also known as SPDS pillboxes), which contain personally assigned pills for patients with personal guidelines, especially in collectivities by multiple patients or consumers of the same, also in pharmacies and private homes.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The previous and current commercial presentation of medicines in the general form of tablets, capsules and the like is frequently presented in transparent PVC or PET or molded aluminum blisters, and closed by a layer of aluminum film, heat-sealed to the plastic or aluminum alveolus, to keep the properties of each medicine intact, sealed against the outside environment, protecting it from dust, contact, etc.

The use of the same medicines in private homes, groups of patients (hospitals, centers for the elderly, etc.) requires a great organization of the patients themselves, caregivers or health personnel so as not to make mistakes. As the medication is personalized -it corresponds to a single patient and it can be a huge problem to dispense that medication to another person-, the unequivocal identification of the patient is essential to avoid confusion. Currently, this is solved with a label that is attached to the blister with additional information (record number or patient name), and which requires the use of a single blister per patient if errors are to be avoided. Another system used is the manual supply of pills, pills, etc. in open containers (little cups) that are organized periodically during the day; This system has greater safety and reliability drawbacks than the one described above, possibilities of mixtures, carelessness, forgetfulness when preparing medication, patient confusion, etc., in addition to the obligation to prepare medicines every day.

Both systems can become complicated with the increase in the number of patients and lead to errors. In addition, they imply verification work for the personnel who carry out the work of caring for and giving the correct medication, on the days and at the appropriate time, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

To solve this, personalized dosage pillboxes are known, which are universal open blisters, with holes in the same number as the usual dosage guidelines: for example, in 4 rows of 7 holes, corresponding to 4 doses in 7 days, which that makes it easy -at a glance- to know if the dosage has been scammed each day. These personalized dosage pillbox blisters come open, are filled once, for example once a week, and need to be covered if you do not want the medicines stored for days in them to lose their properties. They are usually covered with cardboard adhesive covers, but it is a porous material, so moisture can enter the inside of the blister, once closed. On the other hand, bonding defects, defective bonding, etc. frequently occur as wrinkles are generated during bonding.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The lid for blister packs for personalized dosage cold gluing pills of the invention, is usable in blisters of the type that comprise a body with alveoli, in each of which doses of medication are arranged, and according to the invention it comprises :

-an outer layer of cardboard from 100 to 325 grs

-an intermediate layer of cellulose paper for pharmaceutical use

-an inner layer of aluminum film,

-a layer of cold and permanent water-based adhesive glue, applied to the inner face of the inner layer of aluminum film, suitable for pharmaceutical use and provided with a protective silicone paper.

Its outline that can be circular, square, etc. adapted to the shape of the blister. This lid, once the blister is filled with its corresponding pills manually or by means of a dispensing machine, the protective silicone paper is removed and it is stuck just above the blister, pressing a little with a roller so that the adhesive has more force and make a strong, watertight and stable closure over time. This prevents wrinkles and achieves a hermetic closure of the alveoli.

Once the pillbox is sealed with the pills in each of the shots, one or more adhesive labels can be stuck on the face and/or on the back of the box with the patient's data, the medicines it contains, the pharmacy that has manipulated and any other data of interest, or information and fields for writing can be incorporated on the visible face of the outer layer of cardboard.

DESCRIPTION OF A PRACTICAL EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The lid (1) for blister packs (2) of personalized dosage pill boxes with cold gluing of the invention can be used (see fig. 1) in blister packs (2) of the type that comprise a body (21) with alveoli (20) , in each of which doses of medication are arranged, and according to the invention it comprises (see Fig. 3):

-an outer layer (40) of cardboard from 100 to 325 grs,

-an intermediate layer (41) of cellulose paper for pharmaceutical use,

-an inner layer (42) of aluminum film,

- a layer of cold and permanent water-based adhesive glue (43), applied to the inner face of the inner layer (42) of aluminum film, suitable for pharmaceutical use and provided with a protective silicone paper (43a).

Ideally, the intermediate layer (41) of cellulose paper has a grammage of 30 g/m2, and the inner layer (42) of aluminum film has a grammage of 18.90 g/m2. after multiple tests carried out is where the best sealing results, ease of opening (tearing) and costs have been found. For its part, the silicone-coated protective paper (43a) has, for example, a grammage of 50/60 g/m2.

It is preferred that the outer layer (40) of cardboard comprises perforations (40a) coinciding with the different alveoli (20) of the daily or weekly doses of the blister (2). As this layer is harder to facilitate wrinkle-free gluing, it would be more difficult to tear to remove the drug. This avoids this problem.

In addition, the outer layer (40) of cardboard can comprise an indicative print (40b) of the pattern (takes morning, afternoon, dinner and night, and days of the week) and fields for identification by writing or sticking a label.

Likewise, it is preferred that the layer of adhesive glue (43) comprises windows (43b) coinciding with the different holes of the daily or weekly doses of the blister, to avoid contact of the adhesive with the stored drugs.

In addition, the lid (1) can comprise a lateral flap (45) with a fitting formation (16) in a centering template, not shown with the blister (1), said fitting formation (16) comprising holes (16a) passage of some lugs of the centering template. This flap can be broken once the lid is glued to the blister.

Having sufficiently described the nature of the invention, as well as the way of carrying it out in practice, it should be noted that the provisions indicated above and represented in the attached drawings are susceptible to detailed modifications as long as they do not alter the fundamental principle.
