Packaging for unit pharmaceutical products

A method for taking at least one unit pharmaceutical product which is disposed in the internal space of a cell of a receiving element of a packaging for unit pharmaceutical products, the packaging comprising:

• an element for receiving at least one unit pharmaceutical product, said element having at least one cell defining an internal space configured to accommodate said at least one unit pharmaceutical product and an orifice opening into said internal space;
• an element for covering said cell, said element being fixed to said receiving element in the region of said orifice and being configured to be torn or removed to extract said pharmaceutical product disposed in said cell, thereby opening said cell;
• and
• a repositionable temporary closure member, wherein the repositionable temporary closure member is configured such that the repositionable temporary closure member has a predetermined initial position from which the repositionable temporary closure member can be withdrawn and at least one temporary closure position in which said closure member is temporarily fixed by adhering to said receiving element around said orifice into which said internal space of said previously opened cell opens;
• wherein said predetermined initial position is different than said at least one closure position;
• and said temporary closure member has a closure portion at least partially coated with adhesive,
• the method comprising the following steps of:
• extracting said at least one unit pharmaceutical product from said receiving element by tearing or removing a covering element fixed to said receiving element in the region of an orifice into which said internal space of said cell opens, the cell then being open;
• dividing said unit pharmaceutical product into a number of fractions, with at least one fraction being intended to be taken and at least one other fraction being intended to be kept;
• placing said fraction to be kept back into said previously opened cell;
• removing a repositionable temporary closure member of said packaging, having a closure portion at least partially coated with adhesive, from its predetermined initial position;
• and
• repositioning said repositionable temporary closure member in its temporary closure position in which said closure member is temporarily fixed by adhering to said receiving element around said orifice into which said internal space of said previously opened cell opens;
• said closure position being different than said predetermined initial position.
