Patient Compliance Packaging Q&A
-
Asked June 25th, 2009
This question would be best answered by a pharma company. The reason: from a packaging point of view, it would be difficult to speculate on any particular drug’s effectiveness and clinical usage. That said, here is the packaging side’s perspective:
When it comes to compliance packaging playing a role in establishing regimen effectiveness, the pharma companies would determine dosage and if necessary, titration needs. Then it would work with the pharma packager to develop the best means of assisting patient compliance and safety as well as assisting physicians’ control over and monitoring of patient dosing regimen. Assistance can come in the form of a daily annotated peel-and-push foiled package, an F=1 blister package, or any number of other structural design elements. It would again then fall to the drug company to use appropriate protocols and to establish benchmarks and effectiveness metrics to capture, build, and analyze unbiased, comparative data. Innovative packaging can then augment the pharma companies’ ability to be successful as they foster patient compliance.

The “equivalency thus enabling competition” principle that bottle manufacturers apply would also apply to bottom web stock for blisters. As long as equivalency is proven by comparing the specifications, competitive materials can certainly be used.

Actually, the answer is fairly simple. By offering a one-month-at-a-time approach, three separate blister cards with one month’s supply of tablets on each card would take care of it. The three cards are then packaged into one carton for the 90-day supply. This would also help foster better patient compliance while also retaining a consistent dosing simplicity that most patients desire.
