BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a press-through pack package with an instruction manual, and more specifically, in the distribution mode, the instruction manual and the press-through pack package are integrally formed, and The present invention relates to a press-through pack package with an instruction manual, which allows the contents to be easily taken out without separating the instruction manual when taking out the contents stored in the package.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Press-through pack packaging (hereinafter referred to as PTP packaging) is a transparent plastic sheet (or plastic film) of a thermoplastic resin, which is formed into a concave shape or a large size by hot air pressure molding or hot vacuum molding. A small deep-drawing container is made, and food, medicines, ampoules, etc. are filled in the container, and the recessed part is hermetically packaged with a lid material such as aluminum foil or a thin rigid plastic sheet. It is often used for packaging medicines, troches and capsules.

[0003] In order to guarantee efficacy, displayability, etc., of the drug, in terms of safety, it is required to pay particular attention to the protective function of the drug formulation and packaging material against quality deterioration. Conventionally, a polyvinyl chloride sheet having good transparency and good moldability has been mainly used as a base material sheet for PTP molding, but in recent years, unstretched polypropylene sheet, polyethylene terephthalate sheet, etc. have been used due to disposal and the like. There is.

Further, since pharmaceutical preparations such as tablets, troches and capsules have high hygroscopicity, transparent molded base sheet having high water vapor barrier property is desired. Therefore, polyvinyl chloride sheet is coated with polyvinylidene chloride. However, there is a problem that the packaging material cost becomes high.

For this reason, low-cost and low-pollution polypropylene is used, but it is not an optimum base sheet in terms of transparency, moldability, etc., and laminated base sheets are also used. Also, when the moisture-proof property, gas barrier property, light-shielding property, etc. of the contents are particularly required, the PTP package is packaged with a predetermined number of automatic packaging machines in a three-way or four-way seal with a packaging material having a high gas barrier property and a light-shielding property. ing.

[0006] Further, as a lid member for sealing the containing portion for containing the contents, by pushing the contained contents or the like from the molded body side, the lid member is broken and taken out, so that the moistureproof property and the gas blocking property can be obtained. Generally used is a lid material in which a single-sided or double-sided printing is applied to an aluminum foil of 20 to 40 μm which is excellent in opening property and is excellent in unsealing property, and a sealing material such as a heat seal lacquer is applied. In addition, because the lid material emphasizes the protection of the contents and because it is designed so that it cannot be easily broken by children, it is a difficult task for a weak elderly person to push the contents strongly. ing.

[0007] Furthermore, the labeling of drugs in PTP packages of pharmaceutical preparations is currently mainly done by printing the registration mark or symbol of the drug manufacturer or drug number on the molded base material or lid material, and the drug is generally used by ordinary people. The fact is that the drug efficacy, etc. is unknown at all, not to mention the manufacturer and drug name.

[0008] Further, regarding the pharmaceutical preparation packaged in PTP, as a measure against medical accidents, it is instructed to specify the sales name, standard, content, etc. on the inner bag such as PTP sheet. However, the drug dispensed or prescribed at the pharmacy based on the prescription prescribed by the doctor,
Often, there are multiple drugs, and when these drugs are enclosed in the same medicine bag and given to the patient, the drug should be shown to the patient, and which drug should be taken and how it should be taken should be explained. I am giving it to a patient. However, the patient needs to remember the type of drug, the dose, etc., but at a later date, the type of drug cannot be discriminated. There is.
