Abstract:
Packages that include at least one medicament therein include at least one light member affixed thereto that is capable of emitting light upon activation. The light member is activated upon the opening of the package such that, upon opening, the light member fluoresces or otherwise emits light to provide information to an end user. In some embodiments, the light generated by the light member allows the end user to locate the package in dark conditions. In other embodiments, the light generated by the light member may be configured to emit only for a time period equal to a viability time period of the medicament within the package or to change color at a time period equal to the viability time period of the medicament within the package to alert an end user that the medicament is no longer useable.
