Abstract (en)
A pharmaceutical carton having an opening portion (2) for access to the inside of the carton and one or more panels (10) for the provision of information, at least one panel being integral with the carton and at least one panel being wholly or substantially located between the opening portion and the inside of the carton so requiring movement by the user to obtain access to the inside of the carton is described. The carton is preferably tamper-evident. Lid (2) is defined by lines of weakness (A). By requiring movement by the user of at least one panel before access, even partial access, to the contents of the carton is possible, this ensures as far as possible that the information on that panel has at least been seen if not read by the user prior to the first and/or every dose. Also, by having at least one panel being integral with the carton, the information thereon cannot be discarded. <IMAGE>
