Abstract
A container () for storing transdermal patches is disclosed. The container () includes a child-resistant mechanism () to reduce the likelihood of access to the transdermal patches (TP) by children. The child-resistant mechanism () may include first and second access components () that may be disposed in a non-opposing manner and that may be in any appropriate form (e.g., buttons). Activation or engagement of the first and second access components () in a particular manner allows the container () to assume an open configuration to access and/or load patches. In one arrangement, the first and second access components () may be simultaneously engaged (e.g., depressed) to open the container (). In another arrangement, the first and second access components () may be engaged in series in a particular sequence to open the container ().
