Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0189276A2] A package for medication comprises a blister pack (10) in the form of a single blister sheet defining a plurality of pockets (11) filled with the medication and covered with a rear foil layer (30). In addition the blister pack (10) can be covered with an outside relatively permanent plastics cover (20, 21) including means for hanging the cover on suitable supports. The pockets (11) of the blister sheets are arranged in five columns of seven rows with four of the columns having elongate axes (13, 14, 15, 16) of the pockets inclined to the left and the final column having the axes (17) inclined to the right. This provides a readily visible indication that the user has reached the final column thus requiring reordering of further medications in a replaceable blister pack. A slight change in angle between the four left-wardly inclined columns prevents use of counterfeit medications.
