DuRecon from Abbott India.
A Dual chambered container for re-constitution of oral dry syrup products, is the answer to the multiple questions being raised on compliance of current form of packaging that is in practice today and this new container will solve many problems such as under or over dosing due to inappropriate reconstitution, likely product contamination due to improper quality of water, inconsistent results due to dosing errors, long dosage preparation time and so on. The patient information is provided in the leaflet label itself, therefore being the part of primary pack the leaflet is retained in the label till the last dose.
