US-based healthcare company TherapeuticsMD has introduced a new packaging for prenatal vitamins that contain iron.
The new line of packaging has been designed to address the challenges faced in producing child-resistant safety packaging for prenatal vitamins.
The new packaging features a blister pack locking system to enable adults to easily open it by squeezing the sides, pulling out the pill blister, and pressing the capsule through the foil backing.
TherapeuticsMD marketing vice-president Jason Spitz said: "As a leader in healthcare solutions for women, we are continually looking for ways to provide patients with products that embody efficacy, safety, and convenience.
"Our exciting new packaging addresses a long-time need in the prenatal market to offer women more convenient blister packaging for each dose, while also meeting important safety needs.
"It reflects our commitment to women's health, strengthens our relationships with Ob / Gyns, and helps to grow trust in our unique products for women."
TherapeuticsMD's new packaging will be used for vitaMedMD's vitaPearl prenatal multivitamin and BocaGreen's Prena1 Pearl, the brand's authorized generic.
vitaPearl and Prena1 Pearl contain high levels of folic acid and provide 16 vitamins and minerals along with 200mg of pur-Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a highly-purified, marine-based DHA.
