The product is a medication packaging system, primarily designed for use in long-term care facilities, with a unique method of organizing and releasing pills that promotes correct medication administration, a natural wrist action, time savings, individual identification of medications, organization and quick release of patient medications according to time pass, and it meets requirements for compliance packaging in long-term care settings. It takes into consideration the differing needs of the pharmacy filling the prescriptions and, the caregiver administering the medications to the patient. The main design of the package consists of three parts: a plastic front with bubbles to encase pills, perforations used for the release of the pills, and channels to separate and assist in the release of the pills; a cardboard backing that is coated with food-grade glue; and a label. The system is designed with key characteristics that are common to current systems in use (such as package size and glue that can be used in existing heat seal machines) so that conversion to the new system can be easy and cost effective for the pharmacy and the end user. However, the unique features (the perforated front release system, individual pill bubbles organized in rows and separated by channels, and solid backing) set this medication packaging system apart from other systems and offer significant improvements over prior art.
