Abstract: A health care product dispenser is provided which includes a base which is designed and adapted to be mounted in a substantially vertical orientation, and which further includes one or more normally closed combined holder and dispenser pockets which are designed and adapted to release one or more health care product by gravity discharge. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the holding and dispensing element is integral to the front surface of the base and protrudes therefrom. The holding and dispensing element may be comprised, for example, of a pair of parallel sidewalls which project from the base, a bottom wall which normally slopes downward, for example, away from the base, and a normally closed gate which is opposed to the base and positioned to normally close the sidewalls and complete an open pocket holder and dispenser in which health care products are placed to be retrieved by gravity feed.
