A solid dosage preparation is provided with a bottle of water. The solid dosage preparation is contained in a safe and sanitary blister package and attached by means of a shrink band to the closure of the bottle. The shrink band provides a tamper-indicating seal for the both the bottle and blister contents. An advantage of the design is that it does not require customization of bottle and closure tooling, and thereby provides a simple and cost-effective means for combining solid and liquid materials in a unitary package. An additional advantage is the robustness of the tamper-indicating system and methodology.

The present invention relates to dispensers for dispensing moisture-sensitive pods and methods of use therewith, and especially dispensers and methods for dispensing moisture-sensitive pods comprising personal care formulation.

A device for storing and dispensing food items for a customizable nutrition supply is provided. The food items are loaded by the user, allowing customization of nutritional content and sequence. The device may be portable and operated with one hand, and is sufficiently sealed to store the food items securely, away from air, dust, and moisture. When the device is operated by being opened or triggered, it dispenses the next food item, so that the user may dispense the food item directly into the user's mouth. The device then closes or is closed.

A storage container for a storage and dispensing station for drugs or dietary supplement products is provided. The storage container has a separating device including a plurality of channels and a retainer for preventing drugs from slipping into a channel aligned with a dispensing opening. The separating device includes an annular groove and the retainer includes a positioner that engages in the annular groove of the separating device and fixes the retainer vertically. The retainer also includes a retaining section and a holder. The holder secures the retainer against a concurrent rotation with the separating device and aligns the retaining section with the dispensing opening by the holder interacting with a circular cylindrical section of the housing.

A bottle, especially a pharmaceutical bottle, configured to facilitate the withdrawal of goods present in the bottle in the form of pieces, the bottle being closed by a lid that consists of at least two layers: a cover layer and an outer layer. The cover layer, which may be a multilayer structure, is firmly sealed to the peripheral, circular sealing edge of the pharmaceutical bottle along said sealing edge, and includes a separation line off-set from the center of the circle. The outer layer, which may also be a multilayer structure, is connected to the cover layer across the entire surface thereof in such a way that one layer can be peeled off. The separation line of the cover layer has a concave section in the portion thereof that is next to the sealing edge, so as to form a flap section when the outer layer is peeled off.

A package (1, 101, 201, 301, 401) comprises a housing (2, 102, 202) and a slide (3, 103, 203) which is slidably accommodated in the housing in a sliding direction (PI). The slide comprises a bottom wall (17), side walls (18-21) connected to the bottom wall as well as at least one flange-shaped upper edge (22) spaced from the bottom wall, which is connected to the side walls. The housing is provided with at least one recess (14, 15), in which at least one projection connected to the slide can be positioned for at least locking the slide in position in the housing. The projection can be moved out of the recess against spring force, after which the slide can be moved in the sliding direction in the housing. The flange-shaped upper edge comprises two parts that extend parallel to the sliding direction, wherein each part is provided with at least one hook-shaped element (27, 327), while the housing comprises two side walls (5, 6), wherein each side wall is provided with at least one recess, wherein a recess and a hook-shaped element located at a first side wall are staggered, seen in the sliding direction, relative to a recess and a hook-shaped element located at a second side wall. The hook-shaped elements of the flange-shaped upper edge can be moved out of the recesses against the spring force of the flange-shaped upper edge.

A medication packaging and dispensing system is provided. The system may include a plurality of medication booklets containing medication and a tray that is configured to retain the medication booklets. Each medication booklet may include a sequential tab assembly of pull tabs that aligns with a plurality of front cutouts and a plurality of back cutouts. This alignment configuration facilitates dispensing the medication from the medication booklet. The tray may include a riser that extends from a bottom wall of the tray at an oblique angle, and a first guide panel including a plurality of linear stops. The oblique angle may correspond to a pitch of the first guide panel. The riser and the plurality of linear stops may cooperate to maintain the medication booklets in a staggered configuration that is substantially parallel to the bottom wall of the tray. The system may further include a container for retaining the tray.

The invention relates to a dispenser for dosing tablets or powders comprising a container (1, 21) for holding the tablets or powders and a dosing element (2, 3; 22, 23) connected to the container (1, 21). The dosing element has an outlet for tablets or powders and has two parts that can be rotated in relation to each other abount a common axis, namely a stator (2, 22) and a rotor (3, 23), wherein the stator (2, 22), which is connected to the container (1, 21), is covered by the rotor (3, 23) at the periphery at the bottom except for a passage opening (12, 33), and a cap (4, 24) for covering the rotor (3, 23) and the stator (2, 22) is connected to the rotor (3, 23) and the stator (2, 22) by means of a first tamper-indicating device (5, 5′), and the rotor (3, 23) and the stator (2, 22) are connected to the container (1, 21) by means of a second tamper-indicating device (7, 7′), and wherein the dispenser is equipped with a child-proof lock (29, 30; 40, 41).

[Object] To achieve a compact construction while making it possible to dispense a medicine certainly one by one.

[Solution] A medicine dispensing unit 7 for dispensing a medicine retained is disposed. The medicine dispensing unit comprises a first rotator 24 having a circular face rotatably disposed at a slant state to a horizontal plane; a second rotator 25 having a ring face rotatably disposed over the horizontal plane at an outer peripheral side of the first rotator 24; and a guide member 28 having a guide face, the guide face being disposed above the circular face of the first rotator 24 while extending radially with respect to the circular face, being positioned at a downstream side in a rotational direction of the first rotator 24 towards a periphery in a radial direction, and being capable of contacting with the medicine placed on the first rotator 24 due to rotation of the first rotator 24.
