1. A flexible container for combined storage and administration of medicament and diluent for IV solutions, the container comprising:

  • a flexible front sheet;

    a flexible rear sheet sealed to the front sheet at a common peripheral edge;

    a first peelable seal extending between two sides of the common peripheral edge and separably joining the front and rear sheet to form a compartment containing a diluent;

    a second peelable seal extending between the two sides of the common peripheral edge and separably joining the front and rear sheet to form an outlet compartment and a compartment containing a medicament which is intermediate the outlet compartment and the diluent compartment, the outlet compartment being empty when the diluent and medicament are in their separate compartments, wherein the first peelable seal is rupturable by hydraulic pressure generated by manipulation of the diluent compartment, and wherein the diluent and medicament are mixed together by further manipulation of the container after rupture of the first peelable seal to form a diluent/medicament solution and thereafter the second peelable seal is rupturable by hydraulic pressure generated by further manipulation of the now joined diluent and medicament compartments so that the diluent/medicament solution can flow into the outlet compartment; and

    an outlet port in communication with the outlet compartment, the outlet port engaging the front sheet whereby the rear sheet can fully collapse against the front sheet as the diluent/medicament solution is emptied from the container.
