Abstract:

Single-dose vials for liquid solutions (e.g., liquid medicaments) can be designed to be used in conjunction with a medication regimen. A single-dose vial may include a removable member that prevents a liquid solution from escaping, but also allows an individual (e.g., a patient or a medical professional) to readily administer the liquid solution. A single-dose vial could include one or more discrete capsules that include the same or different liquid solutions. For example, multiple capsules could be arranged within a vial so that different liquid solutions are simultaneously or sequentially ejected following removal of the removable member and application of pressure to the multiple capsules (e.g., due to the individual squeezing the vial). Multiple vials can also be connected to one another in a strip configuration, which allows the individual to more easily adhere to a medication regimen that requires multiple doses over a period of time.
