UM mit 21 Dragees (Kalenderpackung)

English translation: free sample (not for sale)

17:45 May 21, 2013
German to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / Pack sizes
German term or phrase: UM mit 21 Dragees (Kalenderpackung)
This is from an official form dated 1968, for permission to allow PROGYNOVA to be sold in Germany.

under the item "Packungsgrößen", one entry is:

"OP mit 21 Dragees"

I did some research and conclude that "OP" here means "Originalpackung" and is equivalent to "N1".

But below that the entry is:

"UM mit 21 Dragees (Kalenderpackung)"

I cannot find anything to determine what "UM" may stand for or mean.

Appreciate any help. This dates from 1968 so may be obsolete, perhaps nowadays called N2 or N3,

Thanks,

Stephen

Reference

Reference information:
The English blister pack is "Blisterverpackung". I would suggest that UM is the "Umkarton", i.e the outer or secondary packing (cardboard container.
