The invention relates firstly to a method for producing a crimp cap for a container for receiving a pharmaceutical substance, in particular an ampoule, wherein the crimp cap has a metal foil layer, which is covered over at least on the outside with a layer of plastic forming a covering of the foil layer. In order to provide an advantageous method for producing a crimp cap from a metal foil layer with a layer of plastic forming a covering of the foil layer, while avoiding the risk of particle formation as much as possible, it is proposed that a material strip M having an already plastic-covered foil layer is formed into the crimp cap by punching out and deep drawing. The invention also relates to a crimp cap for a container for receiving a pharmaceutical substance, and also to a container with a pharmaceutical substance.

A medical package is made from a multi-layer film and is filled with a medical liquid for infusion and/or for parenteral nutrition. The medical package has at least one weld seam and at least one inner layer of a matrix-phase polymer system, an intermediate layer of a matrix-phase polymer system, and an outer layer of a matrix-phase polymer system.

A hermetically sealed thermoplastic container or ampoule having a hollow body portion, a neck portion, unitary with the body portion and terminating in a circumferential flat sealing surface that defines an access aperture, and a removable cap. The neck portion is provided with an external thread and defines an access passageway to the hollow body portion. Part of the neck portion is configured as a tapered female connector adapted to receive a tapered male connector when the access passageway is open.

The invention relates to a kit comprising a vial and a male connector (6) comprising: a male part (8) suitable for being inserted in a female connector of the vial, the male part having an outer surface (12) extending around an axis (X) and tapering towards a free end (2) of the male part (8); a sleeve (14) extending around and at a distance from the male part (8), the sleeve (14) comprising an internal thread (20) suitable for cooperating with an external thread of the female connector when the male part (6) is inserted in the female connector, the outer surface (12) comprising a first frustoconical portion (12b) forming a first angle () with respect to the axis (X), and a second frustoconical portion (12c) extending the first frustoconical portion (12a) towards the free end (2), the second frustoconical portion (12c) forming a second angle () with respect to the axis (X), the second angle being less than the first angle ().

An effervescent laxative composition comprising an acid component, an alkaline component, and a polyethylene glycol is disclosed.
