Unit Dose Packaging for Oral Liquids

Cardinal Health

Cardinal Health announces a new unit-dose, bar-coded packaging solution for their oral liquid medications. Oral liquid medications are now available in different package sizes, allowing for dose sizes ranging from 5 to 45 mL. This packaging design includes a flat spoon shape to help ensure proper dosing, allowing medication to be administered to the patient directly from the package, and making it easier for hospitals to store liquid-medication filling bays and automated dispensing machines. Each dose has a reduced space symbology (RSS) bar code to enable health care providers to track the NDC, lot number, and expiration date of each medication dose.
