Abstract
A pilfer-proof container for injectable fluid. An inner seal having an opening is fixedly secured to the neck of a bottle to hold a stopper. An outer seal covers the opening and is removably attached to the inner seal with non-flaking, non-rebondable adhesive. The sealing system allows inspection of the stopper after the inner seal has been attached.
