  • Publication number: 20220387258
    Abstract: In one aspect of the subject invention, a labeling shell is provided for a drug vial having a glass reservoir and an opening sealed by an elastomeric stopper, the labeling shell including: a polymeric tubular body formed to accommodate the reservoir of the drug vial, the tubular body having a first open end defining a first opening smaller than a diameter of the reservoir of the drug vial so as to prevent passage therethrough of the reservoir, wherein the elastomeric stopper is exposed through the first end with the reservoir being accommodated in the tubular body; and, a polymeric cap removably mountable to the tubular body to selectively cover the elastomeric stopper of the drug vial with the reservoir being accommodated in the tubular body. Advantageously, the subject invention provides a labeling surface for a drug vial, while also providing restricted access to the drug vial to limit tampering therewith.
