Each housing member including a mating member that is configured for engagement with the other housing member in order to join the first and second housing members together in a sealed configuration that prevents moisture or contaminants from entering into the cavity. Also, a magazine containing a plurality of medicament cases for administration of medicaments to a group of people, and a method of administering medications to mass casualties of multiple persons that are in need thereof. The medicaments are rapidly disintegratable and can include a dye that stains the person's mouth so that medical personnel can determine who has been treated with the medicament. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A portable medicament case comprising: a medicament provided in a package; first and second housing members that are configured to form a medicament package receiving cavity when joined together, with each housing member including a mating member that is configured for engagement with the other housing member in order to join the first and second housing members together in a sealed configuration that prevents moisture or contaminants from entering into the cavity; a gasket removably positioned between the first and second housing members to provide a hermetic seal about the medicament package when the housing members are in the mating engagement in the sealed configuration; and a base member configured to selectively receive the second housing member opposite the first housing member, the base member including a means for connection that forms or is connectable to a rod, strap, belt or clothing article for secure transport of the portable medicament case on or with a person; wherein one housing member includes an aperture configured to assist in removing the medicament package from that housing member when the housing members are not joined together in the sealed configuration. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The portable medicament case of claim 1, wherein the medicament package is a blister pack that is sealed to further prevent moisture from contacting the medicament. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The portable medicament case of claim 1, wherein a lower portion of the second housing member has a ramp member that has angled sidewalls and an upper portion of the base member has a slot with angled sidewalls that are complimentary to those of the ramp member so that the ramp member can be slid into and securely received by the slot. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The portable medicament case of claim 1, wherein the medicament: (a) comprises an oral composition that comprises at least one active pharmaceutical ingredient in a therapeutically effective amount and at least one dye in an effective amount to stain a person's mouth as an identification of consuming the oral composition, (b) is formulated with one or more disintegrating agents configured to rapidly disintegrate when placed in a person's mouth, or (c) includes both (a) and (b). ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The portable medicament case of claim 4, wherein the medicament is in a tablet or wafer dosage form comprising one or more appropriate excipients or diluents formulated with the active pharmaceutical ingredient and the dye. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The portable medicament case of claim 5, wherein the medicament includes sufficient dye to temporarily stain at least the person's tongue and mouth and optionally stain the person's teeth and lips upon consumption of the oral composition when the oral composition contacts the person's saliva. ### Claim 7 (depends on 4) The portable medicament case of claim 4, wherein the medicament is formulated to dissolve in the person's mouth in less than 45 seconds, less than 30 seconds, or less than 15 seconds. ### Claim 8 (depends on 4) The portable medicament case of claim 4, wherein the medicament comprises an analgesic agent, a sedative, an antibiotic, or an antidote to a chemical agent. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The portable medicament case of claim 1, wherein the means for connection comprises a pair of L-shaped members that face each other and that form an opening to receive a strap or band therein. ### Claim 10 (depends on 2) The portable medicament case of claim 2, wherein the blister package includes indicia to indicate where force is to be applied to remove the medicament. ### Claim 11 A portable medicament case comprising: a medicament provided in a package; first and second housing members that are configured to form a medicament package receiving cavity when joined together, with each housing member including a mating member that is configured for engagement with the other housing member in order to join the first and second housing members together in a sealed configuration that prevents moisture or contaminants from entering into the cavity; a gasket removably positioned between the first and second housing members to provide a hermetic seal about the medicament package when the housing members are in the mating engagement in the sealed configuration; a base member configured to selectively receive the second housing member opposite the first housing member; and an ejection button having a shape and dimension that conforms to that of the aperture of the first housing member; wherein one housing member includes an aperture configured to assist in removing the medicament package from that housing member when the housing members are not joined together in the sealed configuration; further wherein each of the ejection button and the aperture having a thickness and parameter that provides a snug fit of the ejection button in the first housing aperture but allows depression of the ejection button by finger force into the cavity. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The portable medicament case of claim 11, further comprising a flange to assist in seating the medicament package beneath the button. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The portable medicament case of claim 11, wherein the medicament package is a blister pack that is sealed to further prevent moisture from contacting the medicament. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The portable medicament case of claim 13, wherein the blister package includes indicia to indicate where force is to be applied to remove the medicament. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The portable medicament case of claim 11, wherein the medicament: (a) comprises an oral composition that comprises at least one active pharmaceutical ingredient in a therapeutically effective amount and at least one dye in an effective amount to stain a person's mouth as an identification of consuming the oral composition, (b) is formulated with one or more disintegrating agents configured to rapidly disintegrate when placed in a person's mouth, or (c) includes both (a) and (b). ### Claim 16 A portable medicament case comprising: a medicament provided in a package;
