<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vial-type drug container unit, or the like, which has an excellent shape capable of significantly reducing the amount of a residual liquid drug upon collecting the liquid medicine contained in the vial tightly sealed by a rubber closure into a syringe. <P>SOLUTION: The container unit for a medicine is composed of a container, which is formed of a cylindrical liquid medicine-containing portion and a liquid medicine-filling neck portion, and a rubber closure for sealing the liquid medicine-filling neck portion. The rubber closure comprises a disk-shaped head portion and a substantially cylindrical leg portion arranged on a lower wall of the head portion. The container is provided with a flat surface formed on a side of its inner wall at a boundary between the liquid medicine-containing portion and the liquid medicine-filling neck portion such that a lower end wall of the leg portion of the rubber closure can be brought into close contact with a flat surface of the container, and at least a side wall of the liquid medicine-containing portion forms a corner-free, rounded surface on a side where the liquid medicine is to be contained. When the liquid medicine-filling neck portion has been sealed with the rubber closure, the lower end wall of the leg portion and the flat surface of the container are maintained in close contact with each other without any protrusion of an inner circumferential edge of the lower end wall toward an inside of the container beyond an inner circumferential edge of the flat surface. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
