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.
