multidose
Many portions inside
Multidose describes a container, vial, or packaging designed to hold multiple doses of a medication or vaccine: a multidose vial of insulin, multidose flu vaccine.
The term distinguishes from single-dose packaging, which contains exactly one administration's worth.
Multidose containers typically include preservatives to prevent contamination between uses.
