Abstract: A tablet dispensing system comprises a sleeve having a first opening at a first end and a second opening at a second end, a base attached to the second end, the base including a first barrier disposed transversely to and a predetermined distance from the second opening, and a slide having second and third barriers separated by a riser, wherein the second and third barriers include aligned passages disposed therethrough. The slide is disposed on the base so that the first barrier is positioned between the second and third barriers and the slide is biased by a spring toward a first side of the sleeve so that the first barrier blocks at least one of the aligned passages, where the spring is disposed between the base and the slide.
