ABSTRACT:
A multiple dose pharmaceutical container comprising a base having a plurality of base partitions forming a plurality of cavities for containing a pharmaceutical product. The base is formed of a material capable of suppressing the passage of ultraviolet radiation into the cavities. A foil sheet is disposed on the base and covers the plurality of cavities. A retainer is disposed on the base above the foil sheet for maintaining the foil sheet in place. For locking the retainer in place, a plurality of fasteners are disposed along a periphery of the base and extend vertically from the base. Each fastener has a groove for receiving an edge of the retainer and a generally horizontally surface which abuts an upper surface of the retainer for affixing the retainer to the base. Each fastener further has an inner surface disposed above and sloping away from the retainer for facilitating removal of the retainer from the base. A special tool is used disassembling the container. The tool comprises a tool base having a plurality of projections extending therefrom. Each projection has a surface for contacting the sloping surface of a corresponding fastener, so that each fastener is bent away from the retainer when the container is pressed toward the tool base. Latches are disposed in close proximity to selected projections for abutting a lower surface of the retainer and for holding the retainer against the tool base. A spring-loaded plunger is disposed in the tool base for pressing against each fastener and for pushing the container base away from the retainer while the retainer is held by the latch.
