DESCRIPTION

TECHNICAL OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The invention presented entitled "Envelope encoded for 5 medications," corresponds to a type of package, wrapper or box for medications that has the particularity of having attached a label that serves as a support for the spelling usually collected in the so-called seal coupon, which is preferably shown in the form of a barcode or its equivalent. When presenting the coupons in the form of a sticker, instead of being incorporated in the box itself, the important advantage of a fast, easy and safe extraction is achieved, making it possible to simplify the operation that pharmacists usually perform consisting of cutting the coupon seal at the time of the dispensing of the medication to then proceed to its sticking or adhesion on the medical prescription normally known as a prescription.

With the type of package proposed, the aforementioned operation will be reduced to detach the label manually, without any tools, by easily gluing it on the corresponding recipe.

Next they attach it to another support, which is the document that contains the medical prescription (prescription), using glue, transparent adhesive tape, clip or similar.

The present invention aims to simplify said process of coupon removal with its code and subsequent hooking on a new surface, so rudimentary and potentially dangerous, without having to use sharp instruments since it would be carried out in the form of an easy quick sticker and safe extraction and new placement.

There are some attempts to simplify this operation since the appearance of health cards that refer to the sale of non-prescription Social Security medicines, knowing that in some Autonomous Communities the codes with indelible ink markers are overwritten to avoid resale and Possible later fraud.

The inventor does not know about solutions such as the one proposed in this document, so he considers that it is an interesting novelty to be applied in the pharmaceutical market in those cases in which the corresponding pharmacy executes the operation described above in order to recover the part of the sale price supported by the Ministry of Health.

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention consists of a wrapper for medicines or pharmaceutical products in the form of a cardboard box, plastic or similar material, which, in addition to the various legends that appear in normal packages sold in pharmacies, incorporates a special label of remove and put, support! barcode that is currently included in the so-called seal coupon.

The label conceived by the inventor, which eliminates the cut-out seal coupon, is of the sticker type without discarding any other fixing means such as a thin magnetic sheet, clip or the like.

In the perimeter zone of the label there is a seal that serves to ensure clearly, visibly and unequivocally that it has not been removed or manipulated.

The label is quick and safe to remove, with a tab that facilitates the start of its detachment from the support box.

When the label has been detached from the container or box, the base where it was attached will show a smooth area that, defining its previous situation, will clearly reflect that said label has been removed, with the same evidence as when the coupon is cut seal of current containers or boxes.

DETAILED EXPLANATION OF AN EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

Encoded wrapping for medicines (1) (Figs. 1 to 5) consisting of a type of packaging, wrapping or medicine box that has the particularity of having a label attached that serves as a support for the spelling usually collected in the so-called seal coupon . In a preferred embodiment by its inventor, it is presented as a container similar to those usual in the pharmaceutical market for the sale of medicines of all kinds that, on one of the sides of the box, outlined in (Fig. 3), It has attached an adhesive label (4) that serves as a support for the code (6), bars (normal or embossed), QR type or any other that contain various characteristics of the medicine contained in the package.

The adhesive label (4), square or rectangular, has on one of its sides a flange (5) that facilitates its detachment from the wrapper or container (1). This tab (5), in alternative embodiment, reduces its length by presenting itself as a tab in a corner or centered on the edge of the adhesive label (4).

On the other three sides of the adhesive label (4), forming an inseparable part of the coded wrapper (1) of the invention, there is a sealing flange (7), of small width, which serves as an indicator or indicator to ensure that the label 25 adhesive (4) has not been tampered with.

On the support face of the adhesive label (4) and on the rest of the faces of the coded packaging (1), there are a series of spaces for legends (2) that do not characterize the invention as they are those that normally define the name of the specific , the manufacturing laboratory, the expiration date, the batch, etc. which, in addition, can be shown as legends in Braille writing (3).

In (Fig. 5), on the left, the moment when the pharmacist pulls the tab (5) to take off the adhesive label (4) is outlined. To the right of it (Fig. 5) we can see that the label has already been attached to the medical prescription support document (9), commonly known as 5 prescription. It can also be observed that, when the adhesive label (4) is detached, a fingerprint (8) is formed which is defined by the sealing flange (7) which serves to show that the label (4) has been removed. This footprint, in optional solutions, is used to support advertising motives or messages related to health.

10 In this way the inventor makes available to the pharmaceutical world a coded wrapper, (1) with the adhesive label (4) that avoids the need to cut the so-called coupon seal using scissors, or any cutting tool.

It is not considered necessary to extend the content of this description 15 so that a person skilled in the art can understand the scope and advantages derived from the invention, as well as develop and put into practice the object thereof. However, it should be understood that the invention has been described according to a preferred embodiment thereof, so it may be susceptible to modifications without affecting or implying any alteration of the basis of said invention. That is to say, the terms in which this preferred description of the invention has been exposed should always be taken in a broad and non-limiting manner.
