ABSTRACT:
A medication-dispensing card having a plurality of sealed compartments for holding single doses of medication. An inner pack, which provides a moisture and oxygen barrier to preserve the medication, comprises a blister sheet having a plurality of pockets for receiving the individual doses and a frangible lidding sheet laminated to the blister sheet for sealing the pockets. The inner pack is supported between front and back panels which are fastened to each other but not to the inner pack. The panels form a relatively rigid card which may be stored in the file drawer of a mobile medication cart. The structure allows unused medication in the inner pack to be recovered from the card without breaking the seal of an individual compartment permitting reuse. The blister sheet of the card is specially adapted so that the sheets may be stacked without adjacent sheets adhering to each other. Moreover, the pockets formed in the blister sheet have a unique shape chosen to receive a wide variety of pill sizes with minimal excess volume. Also, the lidding sheet is adapted to be fed through an automatic printer so that information may be imprinted on the individual compartments.
