Aminophylline I.V. injectable ampoules, boxed

Object/Artifact

A Cuban pharmaceutical package: a cardboard box for "AMINOFILINA I.V.," an intravenous injectable, with one surviving glass ampoule. The front (first image) is printed in black on buff card with a small "PF" logo at upper left: "LABORATORIO FARMACÉUTICO 04 / Línea No. 1276, La Habana. / AMINOFILINA I.V. / 3 Ampolletas de 10 ml / Inyección Intravenosa." A handwritten green-ink notation "A-35" (inventory mark) and two strips of gray adhesive tape are on the front. A long side panel (third image) reads "Úsese bajo prescripción facultativa. / Dosis: Las que el facultativo señale." The back (second image) reads "Precio al Público: $0.76" (with a partly obscured overstamp) and "Lote: 130101." The accompanying ampoule (fourth image) is a clear glass single-dose ampoule with red printed lettering (partly legible), soiled. The box is aged, foxed, and toned.

Date: Circa 1960s–1980s (tentative; inferred from design). The more contemporary packaging design marks this as the later of the two Aminofilina boxes from the same Havana plant (Línea No. 1276), succeeding the "Laboratorio Farmacéutico 204" box. No printed manufacture date; "Lote: 130101" is a batch code.

Front: "LABORATORIO FARMACÉUTICO 04 / Línea No. 1276, La Habana. / AMINOFILINA I.V. / 3 Ampolletas de 10 ml / Inyección Intravenosa"; "PF" (Productos Farmaceúticos) logo; handwritten "A-35" (green ink); gray tape. Side: "Úsese bajo prescripción facultativa. / Dosis: Las que el facultativo señale." Back: "Precio al Público: $0.76" (with a partly obscured overstamp, possibly a revised price) and "Lote: 130101." Ampoule: red printed lettering, partly legible.

use, production

The two Aminofilina boxes in the collection share the same manufacturing address (Línea No. 1276, La Habana) but carry different enterprise names, indicating two administrative epochs of the same state plant. This example ("Laboratorio Farmacéutico 04," without the "Empresa Consolidada" designation) is judged the later of the two; the related box ("Laboratorio Farmacéutico 204," under the Empresa Consolidada de Productos Farmacéuticos) reflects the consolidated-enterprise structure of the early-1960s. Together they document not only the medicine itself but the institutional reorganization of Cuba's state pharmaceutical industry over time — the same factory re-labeled as its administrative framework changed. (Relative sequence inferred from nomenclature and design; absolute dates unconfirmed.)
