Well this post probably applies to containers for any injectable liquid so all you K people might be able to help out.
Anyway I have access to some naloxone, unfortunately I would have to transport this over some distance and not in the original container so I need something new to package it in. Properties this new package would have in order of importance.
1) Rugged. Something which is going to break and/or spill wouldn't be very usefull. Glass vials, unless they are pretty rugged would fail this test.
2) Easy to dispense out of. Usually with these opiate antagonists you have some time to adminster them but ease of access is still a concern. Those automatically sealing vials for carrying injecatable drugs seem ideal in this regard however they don't exactly sell them at the grocery store.
3) Inconspicous. Preferably both on inspection and in relation to x-rays (can take it in luggage without rousing sucpiscion etc..). A bottle of naloxone screams opiate user to someone in the know.
4) Sterile. Hopefully it would never have to be used but being sterile would be be a benifit then.
Of course it needs to be reasonably obtainable too.
