Abstract
Secondary packaging configured to prevent inadvertent actuation of a device for administering a drug includes a body defining a cavity for at least partially surrounding the device for administering the drug. An active polymer component optionally can be located within an internal compartment of the secondary packaging. The active polymer component can include a mixture of 3 A molecular sieve, a base polymer, and optionally a channeling agent.
Claims20
Secondary packaging configured to hold a device for administering a drug, the secondary packaging comprising:
- a body defining a cavity for at least partially surrounding the device for administering the drug;
- a cap attached to at least a portion of the body by a hinge, the cap being movable with respect to the body between a closed position and an open position, the body and cap together defining an internal compartment for housing the device when the cap is in the closed position;
- and
- an active polymer component located within the internal compartment, the active polymer component being configured to receive at least a portion of the device therein, the active polymer component comprising a mixture of 3 A molecular sieve and a base polymer.
A method of providing shelf stability to a drug contained in a drug delivery device that is stored within secondary packaging, the secondary packaging having a cap and body, the cap being pivotable with respect to the body about a hinge, shelf stability is maintained by providing an environment with low relative humidity or no relative humidity and by ensuring that that cap does not inadvertently open while the drug delivery device is stored within the secondary packaging, the method comprising:
- locating an active polymer component within an internal compartment formed by the cap and the body when the cap is in a closed position with respect to the body, the active polymer component comprising a base polymer and 3 A molecular sieve.
