The present invention relates to a packaging system intended to simplify the usage of multiple medications stored separately and used together, thereby minimize the non-compliant use of the multiple medications. Generally, the separate medication components are contained in a plurality of compartments, which when a deforming force is applied are released into an outer containment pouch. The medication components can then be mixed together and dispensed from the outer pouch.

A package system for separately storing and dispensing together separate medication components comprising:
- an outer containment pouch including a surrounding pouch wall defining a pouch interior;
- and
- a plurality of compartments at least partially located within the outer containment pouch, each compartment including a surrounding barrier material defining an enclosed internal storage space for receiving one of a plurality of different medication components, the barrier material of each compartment having a weak point located on a portion of the barrier wall, that is present within the pouch interior of the outer containment pouch, which will breach thereby releasing the medication components contained within the storage space into the pouch interior of the outer containment pouch, when a sufficient compartment deforming force is applied to the plurality of compartments.
